sa nama da je gotovo
da sakrije, on to ne ume
da sve opet bi ponovo
Opet on bi da zagrli
plamen sto jos ga boli
to svi su znali, a on se pravi
da me ne voli
Ref.
Gori srce moje kao Afrika
na licu mi Sibir pise
kada kaze kako sve ce da mi da
ja pravim se da hocu vise
Kad ga gledam hoce zivot da mi da
kad me gleda jedva dise
zna da mogu srce da mu isčupam
al' ne moze bez mene vise
Zna da je moj, al' jos se bori
znam, zbog mene uzdise
ali se boji da ne izgori
ako pridje previse
Ref. 2x
