i da mene vuce djavo
i ako si tako lijepa
ja bih te zaobisao
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Ljubila si preko mene
sad te srce ne mirise
nosicu te i na dusi
al' u srcu nikad vise
Da sam znao ne bih dao
da te moje oci vide
ako grijeh je pa neka je
nek na moju dusu ide
(2x)
Ref. 2x
Da sam znao sta me ceka
sta ti se po glavi mota
ne bih dao da mi pravis
tuznu pricu od zivota
