Ne zovi me na grijeh
kako si nocas lijepa zulejha
u tom svilenom bijelon kaftanu
ogrnula nas noc od grijeha
dira u staru bolnu ranu
a ne zna da nisam onaj stari
sto je srecu htio u vinu
ne zna da nisam ludi pjesnik
od svih bolesti haman bolesnik
evo ti sve i suze i smijeh
samo me ne zovi na grijeh
evo ti sve za cim ja mrijem
samo me ne zovi na grijeh
nocas sam jusuf iz misira
vjecni mornar bozije ruke
nocas sam samac sred svemira
to je tako a ti rezi ruke
evo ti sve i suze i smijeh
samo me ne zovi na grijeh
evo ti sve za cim ja mrijem
samo me ne zovi na grijeh

Don't Call Me to Sin
You’re stunning tonight, my dear Zuleyha
In your silken, white caftan
We’re both wrapped up in a sinful night
It hits an old one, a sore pang
Distress
What she doesn’t know is that I ain’t the same man
That used to seek out, pleasure in wine
She doesn’t know that I ain’t the barmy songsmith
With every sickness, oh God, to meet with
Babe, take everything, every tear and every grin
Just please don’t call me, I don’t wanna sin
Oh! Take everything, everything I need
Just please don’t call me, I don’t wanna sin
Express
Tonight I’ll be like Yosef of Misir
In God’s Hands, a timeless shipmate
Tonight I’ll be like a splinter in a mid-star cluster
As simple as that, and you can cut your veins
Oh, take everything, every tear and every grin
Just please don’t call me, I don’t wanna sin
Oh! Take everything, everything I need
Just please don’t call me, I don’t wanna sin
