Ja moram zaliti za njom

i citam zapisane reci
ti si dala ljubav drugom
a mene ostavi sa tugom
Ref.
Dusu sam ti dao
da se igras sa njom
zasto si nam srusila
nas mali dom
Ubi me tuga
sto izgubih druga
ja moram zaliti za njom
Putevi nas dugi dijele
drugi nam rastanak zele
uzalud je kajanje gorko
sto su nam ruze svele
Ref.
A sad se negde selis
u toplije krajeve juga
a ja cu ziveti zivot
bez srece i voljenog druga
Ref.
