Gde je sreca

ja bih ruze negovala
i sa ruza svakog jutra
ja bih srecu uzdisala
Da je pesma sreca bila
najsrecnija ja bih bila
radosno bih zapevala
i za srecu uvek znala
Pa se pitam gde je sreca
ko bi znao da mi javi
al' mi jedan momak rece
da je sreca u ljubavi
To mi rece momak mio
u gradini il' u cvecu
u njegovom zagrljaju
pronasla sam i ja srecu
Gde je sreca
