Odnio si sunce, vrati se po tamu

i tugu ponesi
da ne misli srce moje
ni s skim si ni gdje si
Ref. 2x
Odnio si sunce
vrati se po tamu
zar ces u njoj jednu zenu
da ostavis samu
Kad mi rusis danas
porusi i jucer
da ni mene srce moje
u proslost ne vuce
Ref. 2x
Kad uzimas radost
sto ostavljas boli
jer i moje srce hoce
jos jednom da voli
Ref. 2x
Odnio si sunce, vrati se po tamu
