Zeljo moja, moj otrove

a ti da mu rusis snove
bolelo bi jako, jako
zeljo moja, moj otrove
Ref. 2x
Zeljo moja
najsladji otrove
srce si mi vezala
u okove
Da u dusi gori plamen
sta bi bile rane nove
na spram bola sto te nema
zeljo moja, moj otrove
Ref. 2x
Daj mi ruke da sve jade
zaboravim noci ove
za nas dvoje ima nade
zeljo moja, moj otrove
Ref. 2x
Zeljo moja, moj otrove
