I eto, udade se ti za konja

mala, sta ti bi
je l' ti mozda rek'o
da te voli i da sam ja
jedan krmak debeli
Reci mi sad
i evo odmah cu da odem
i da te vise
nikad ne vidim
Znam da me mrzis sigurno
ja te nisam var'o
samo sam se s jednom
na haustoru kar'o
Reci mi sad
i odmah cu da odem
zasto uze konja
pod ruku ti
Ref.
Sve bi bilo dobro
da sam vise pio
mamuran te nikada
ne bih ostavio
Sve bi bilo bolje
da smo vise pili
jer se nikad
ne bi zavadili
Godina je prosla
hodas trudna ulicama
a on stalno poslom negdje
radi pos'o s curicama
Ref.
Bez tebe nemam ni zivota
moj je zivot ruzan san
svaka zena kao leptir
cini samo jedan dan
Ostavi sad konja
neces valjda djecu da mu radjas
neces valjda da se sa
budalom cijeli zivot svadjas
I eto, udade se ti za konja
