moje srce ocila
a ja kazem nije, nije
stari druze, vidjas li je
Vidjam, vidjam svaki dan
lijepa li je kao san
dodji, druze, dok je mlada
njena ljubav
njeno srce tebi pripada
Mnogo mi je ona dala
osvanut' je sa mnon znala
dal' me voli kao prije
stari druze, vidjas li je
Kazi, druze, da je volim
i ne mogu da prebolim
da li gnijezdo s drugim vije
dtari druze, vidjas li je
Stari druze, vidjas li je
