Bela ciganka
Stoja · Other Songs - Stoja
da me mazis da me ljubis
sa mnom nista nece da te boli
i tvoja ce majka da me voli
Ispred kuce skupa kola
sve sto imas delimo na pola
za mene se Bogu moli
i tvoja ce majka da me voli
Ref. 2x
Bela ciganka tebi bicu ja
kostacu te ali nikada ne zali
bela ciganka tebi bicu ja
i zavidece svi sto volimo se mi
Hocu svuda da me vodis
da me cuvas da me volis
hocu da me pokazujes svima
od Pariza do Beca i Rima
Da me drugi ne ukradu zato
moras da me okujes u zlato
i to bas za inat svima
od Pariza do Beca i Rima
