Svirajte nočas za moju dušu

Ja æu da skitam, ja æu da pitam,
Ja æu da ostarim.
Al' neæu naæi ženu i druga,
Tebe da prevolim.

Svirajte noæas za moju dušu dok se ne razdavim,
Svirajte nježno kao što nekad mi smo se voljeli.
Svirajte nočas za moju dušu neka me zaboli,
Svirajte tužno kao te noči kad smo se rastali.

Padaju zvijezde kao i lani,
Kad smo se ljubili.
Ulice puste, tragovi naši,
Davno su nestali.
