Sestra mi se udaje

Sestra mi je porucila da se udaje
pa me zove da joj dodjem ja u svatove

Ej, ona me zove
ej, dodji u svatove

Ja joj brze odgovorih srecno vi bilo
pa i ako jos nijesam zeta vidio

Ej, srecno vi bilo
ej, srecno vi bilo

Sa zetom se kada dodjoh bratski izljubi
a sestra mi uplakana pade na grudi

Ej, suze radosne
ej, kvase obraze

Sve je proslo u veselju i kako valja
svatove je raspjevane zora zatekla

Ej, zete i sestro
ej, nek' je sa srecom
