kraj Dunava hladne vode
tu najlepsih cura ima
sve su lepe sve su zgodne
Ref. 2x
Hej Dunave kazi svima
kazi sta Krajina ima
kazi pravo, nemoj kriti
i ja cu ti svedok biti
Svidja mi se bas u svemu
rodne njive ko u Sremu
a devojke i udate
sve su lepe i bogate
Ref. 2x
Kad domacin svadbu pravi
celoj Krajini on najavi
za veselje sve se daje
po tri dana svadba traje
Ref. 2x
