Mala moja rakije o'ladi
Laste Vrbanje · Other Songs - Laste Vrbanje
kad barabe u ravnicu banu
joj, malena, joj
Gleda mala, i zavjesu mrda
je li sis'o baraba sa brda
joj, malena, joj
Ref.
Mala moja rakije o'ladi
pa sta 'oces od barabe radi
ti si janje, a ja vuk iz gore
jedno mora kleknuti do zore
joj, malena, joj
Pegla cura najnovije stvari
da je malo primjete becari
joj, malena, joj
Stavlja karmin i obrve crta
a mirise k'o ruza iz vrta
joj, malena, joj
Ref.
Braco moja ja bi' mor'o poci
da ne lazem, obec'o sam doci
joj, malena, joj
Konobaru ajd' naplati turu
nije lijepo da prevarim curu
joj, malena, joj
Ref.
