Imam sestru u tudjini

daleko, daleko
nema dana da ne zelim
da je zovem seko
Kad su ljudi rastavljeni
tad im lako nije
al' kad su to brat i sestra
to je najbolnije
Ref.
Daleko, daleko
otisla si moja seko
sa srecom si svojom posla
dugo kuci nisi dosla
Tuzno srce tvoga brata
otvorilo sirom vrata
pa te ceka, ceka
ceka da nam dodjes iz daleka
Imam sestru u tudjini
vec dugo, predugo
nema dana da ne kazem
sestro moja tugo
Ref.
