bor sadila, boru govorila
rasti, rasti, moj zeleni bore
da se penjem tebi u vrhove
Da ja vidim Ravne i Konavle
da ja vidim Dubrovcane mlade
da ja vidim mojega dragoga
da ja vidim sta moj dragi radi
Da ja vidim sta moj dragi radi
da li pije ili drugu ljubi
ako pije, nek' se ne napije
ako ljubi, nek' se ne zaljubi
Djevojka je zelen bor sadila
