Docekaj mi majko svate

Docekaj mi majko svate
s' punom bocom vina
tvoje suze radosne su
danas zenis sina

Povedi majko kolo
radosno primi snaju
ljepsa je no proljece
ljepsa no cvijet u maju

Nek' se vino i rakija
za svatove toci
nek' vojvoda sa djevojkom
u kolo uskoci

Podigni kume casu
nazdravi starom svatu
djevere cuvaj snahu
dok je ne predas bratu

Nek' odjeknu puske tanke
nek' se s' pjesmom sviju
svatovima srecno bilo
pa nek' se napiju

Djevojko lijepa moja
ne zali djevovanje
dadoh ti srce svoje
uz prsten za vjencanje
