Sumadijo, ko bi tebe ostavio

Ne bih dao svoje selo
ni sajkacu, ni jelece
a ni kazan od rakije
u kome se sljiva pece

Sumadijo, Sumadijo, ko bi tebe ostavio
Sumadijo, oj, rodni kraju moj
Ne bih dao svoju njivu
ni bunarsku hladnu vodu
pa me cude nasi ljudi
kad iz sela u grad odu

Nigde nema takve svadbe
jesen nam je najmilija
nigde nema tog veselja
sto ga ima Sumadija
