Rodise me neznu i sirotu
dadose mi u miraz lepotu
dadose mi ovo grlo belo
da opevam srce neveselo
Stasala sam kao jela vita
mladost moja bese kisevita
dusa mi je prepetljika igla
oj, sudbino sta li sam ti kriva
Sirota sam i necu da krijem
da suzama cesto lice mijem
a lepotu, to jedino blago
poklonicu kome mi je drago
dadose mi u miraz lepotu
dadose mi ovo grlo belo
da opevam srce neveselo
Stasala sam kao jela vita
mladost moja bese kisevita
dusa mi je prepetljika igla
oj, sudbino sta li sam ti kriva
Sirota sam i necu da krijem
da suzama cesto lice mijem
a lepotu, to jedino blago
poklonicu kome mi je drago
