Zbog tebe bih
Posao tamo
Gde oblaci
Odlaze samo.
Golubice,
Sa moga srca
Odleprsaj u svet.
Otopi me
Bozanskim dahom
I dusu mi
Posipaj prahom.
Godine zla
Da izblede
Sto pre.
Pomiluj sve
Klince Balkana.
Nahrani nas
Mir nam je hrana
Golubice,
Sa moga srca
Odleprsaj u svet.
Ucini da
I nama svane
I dodirom
Isceli rane.
Godine zla
Da izblede
Sto pre.
Mir zovemo,
Mir neka bude
I radosne
Pronadje ljude.
Golubice,
Sa moga srca
