nasmesi se oku mom
imam samo jednu zelju
da te vodim domu svome
(2x)
Da ti ljubim usne
slatke kao med
da ti mrsim kose
hej mala, hej
(2x)
Hej malena, duge kose
pogledaj u oci moje
imam samo jednu zelju
da zamrsim kose tvoje
(2x)
Da ti gledam oci
i obrve te
da ti ljubim lice
hej mala, hej
(2x)
Hej malena, slatkog lica
pruzi meni ruke svoje
imam samo jednu zelju
da se nase usne spoje
(2x)
Da ti ljubim grudi
bele kao sneg
da te srcem ljubim
hej mala, hej
(2x)

As one of his most recognized compositions, the song exemplifies Malović's ability to craft accessible yet emotionally resonant melodies that transcended local borders.
