Valjevska podvala

Ref. 2x
Tavala, tavala ta valjevska podvala

I sabacka civija
i uzicka burgija
i cacanski kaisi
i podrumska rakija

Sve delija do delije
nek je kolo sarenije

Igraj curo do mene
da mi srce nevene

Hej, hej, hej...

Svirac svira kolo igra
sve se vrti kao cigra, hej

Ref. 2x

I cibarski jaganci
i olicki opanci
i pozeski volovi
i loznicki dzonovi

Sve delija do delije
nek je kolo sarenije

Igraj curo do mene
da mi srce nevene

Hej, hej, hej...

Svira svira kolo igra
sve se vrti kao cigra, hej

Ref. 2x

Beogradski mangupi
krajevacki kalupi
smederevski burici
jagodinski curici

Sve delija do delije
nek je kolo sarenije

Igraj curo do mene
da mi srce nevene

Hej, hej, hej..

Svira svira kolo igra
sve vrti kao cigra, hej

Tavala, tavala ta valjevska podvala
