Govori se da me varas

Govori se da me varas
i da ces me ostaviti
a znas dobro da sam bolan
i da necu ozdraviti

Znam da vise prava nemam
na te tvoje oci crne
slazi makar da me volis
ne daj da mi dusa trne

Ti ces opet ic' u kolo
dolazit ce polivaci
pivat cete pisme stare
pratit ce vas tamburasi

A nediljom kad se setas
suskat ce na tebi svila
sigurno ces zaboravit'
da si kadgod moja bila
ne lomi mi srcu grane
sacekaj da samo stane
