Ne skidaj burmu

Ne, ne, ne skidaj burmu
nek' ostane kao vecni trag
od nase, dragi, ljubavi stare
spomen ce biti drag

Ref.
Zasto me ne volis
zasto me ne zelis
sto mi nanosis boli
kriva sam, sama znam
krivo je srce sto ludo voli

Ne, ne, necu dragi
da je sretnu moja oka dva
da si mi ljubav najdraza bio
znala je i sad zna

Ref.

Kad ti ruke ljubi
setice se prijateljstva tog
jer je na burmi ostalo ime
mog srca ranjenog

Ref.
