svi mi kazu "eno pijanice"
od kafane do kafane skitam
ali zasto, to niko ne pita
Ref.
Ja vise nikog nemam
kafana moj je dom
dajte mi ljudi jos jednu
casu da vinom ublazim bol
Tesko mi je, dusi trazim mira
zato niko nemoj da me dira
ja ne pijem da ne znam sta radim
vec ja pijem zivot da zasladim
Ref.
Kraj je svemu, nije vise vazno
u zivotu sve je bilo lazno
jos jedino kafani se divim
dok ne umrem, pijan cu da zivim
Ref.
