Jano, oj Janice

Djevojko, kosa ti bajna
usne k'o ruzice dv'je
nosim ti veru od zlata
na ruci da nosis je

Opijas me k'o vino ti
na nebu mlad mjesec nad nama bdi'
ne idi, ne – tu kraj mene spi
u njedru tvome su najsladji sni

Ref.
Jano, oj Janice
srca mog kraljice
ljubim ti obraze
rujne k'o jabuke

Cvijete moj mislis li na me
dok kosu rasplices ti
brojis li sate i dane
kada moja ces postati

Opijas me k'o vino ti
na nebu mlad mjesec nad nama bdi'
ne idi, ne – tu kraj mene spi
u njedru tvome su najsladji sni

Ref. 2x
