Soferska pesma

Od sofera veceg lole nema
drum adresa, a krov mu nebesa
ako njega cekas kad ce doci
suzama ces natopiti noci

Op saj, op saj
diri, diri, daj

Sofer moze nikad da ne spava
da ne jede, da nista ne pije
da ne pije, da se ne umije
al' bez cure on nikada nije

Jos sve rekoh, zelju ne dorekoh
leka nema, ostaju mi rane
i jedino sto se spasti moze
da on bane, sunce da mi svane
