Dje si brate oko moje

Nocas mi se tako pije
al fali mi neko
to je moje desna ruka
sto zivi daleko
Ref.
Dje si brate oko moje
dao bi ti srce svoje
sladja bi mi piva bila
da si sa mnom krvi mila
Kako mi se samo pjeva
ove vedre noci
zakletvo i uzdanice
kada ces mi doci
Ref.
Ja bliznjega roda nemam
oj sokole sivi
molim ti se Boze sveti
brata mi pozivi
