Prokleta tudjina

Jos pamtim noc i majku u suzama
budnu za stolom, cesto je uzdisala
sa suzom na licu, u ruci joj pismo
saputala cesto, zasluzili nismo

Ref.
Bole me suze majke moje
da l' si, oce, sretan bez nas dvoje
da l' se nekad sjetis ti da imas sina
prokleta da je prokleta daljina/tudjina

Cesto majku upitam za tebe
u ocima tuga kad pogleda mene
s rukom svojom brisem suze s njenog lica
ne placi, majko, imas svog jedinca

Ref. 2x
