Pozvoni mi u pola sest
i reci mi radosnu vijest
da si jos sama k'o ja
i da ti se ne spava
Stavi mi srce na dlan
vrelo se zaledilo
al' nesto je za tebe tu
ipak prezimilo
Ref.
Produzi mi noc
jos je ostalo vina
usne su tvoje
nekad mogle to
Osjecam goris
gori tisina
vatra i barut smo
Oeee olee oleee
boom boom
k'o da me udari grom
i reci mi radosnu vijest
da si jos sama k'o ja
i da ti se ne spava
Stavi mi srce na dlan
vrelo se zaledilo
al' nesto je za tebe tu
ipak prezimilo
Ref.
Produzi mi noc
jos je ostalo vina
usne su tvoje
nekad mogle to
Osjecam goris
gori tisina
vatra i barut smo
Oeee olee oleee
boom boom
k'o da me udari grom
