krao sam ti poljupce u mraku
nestala je davno ljubav nasa
ti si sada zena bogatasa
Ref.
Dzaba zlato i dukati
placu nekad i bogati
dijamanti, leptir masne
kad su duse siromasne
Dzaba zlato i dukati
placu nekad i bogati
dijamanti, cvetne baste
zeno duse siromasne
Nocas mi je srcu tesko
umire i zadnja nada
ostavi me moja draga
odlazim iz Novog Sada
Padaj kiso, padaj kiso
sakrij moje tragove
padaj kiso, padaj kiso
da me nikad ne nadje
Godine te sakrile od mene
ostale su samo uspomene
lose zivis, nedavno sam sazn’o
svega imas a srce ti prazno
Ref.
