Lipa zelenela je
tam v dišečem gaju,
s cvetjem me posipala,
d'jal sem, da sem v raju.
Veje rastezavala
k' nebu je visoko,
meni pa je do srca
segala globoko.
Ptičice je lipica
v cenčico vabila,
kadar ležal sem pod njo,
me je ohladila.
Zdaj pa nem je revica
skoraj ovenela,
cvetje listje zeleno
zima ji je vzela.
Spavaj, draga ljubica!
Večno ne boš spala,
nova pomlad zelena
nov bo cvet pognala.
Zopet bodo ptičice,
ptičice vesele
tam prepevale
veselo žvrgolele.
tam v dišečem gaju,
s cvetjem me posipala,
d'jal sem, da sem v raju.
Veje rastezavala
k' nebu je visoko,
meni pa je do srca
segala globoko.
Ptičice je lipica
v cenčico vabila,
kadar ležal sem pod njo,
me je ohladila.
Zdaj pa nem je revica
skoraj ovenela,
cvetje listje zeleno
zima ji je vzela.
Spavaj, draga ljubica!
Večno ne boš spala,
nova pomlad zelena
nov bo cvet pognala.
Zopet bodo ptičice,
ptičice vesele
tam prepevale
veselo žvrgolele.
