Cije oko nocas ljubis

svakog bozjeg dana
ostala bi dusa moja
snegom zavejana
Ref.
Cije oko nocas ljubis
lepotom zanesen
i proleca moja rana
pretvaras u jesen
Cije oko nocas ljubis
cije sapces ime
dok je moja dusa puna
vetrova i zime
Opija te rujno vino
i blizina njena
a ja imam samo sobu
punu uspomena
Ref.
Dok u njene oci gledas
dok te nosi sreca
moje srce osim tuge
nista ne oseca
Ref.
Cije oko nocas ljubis
