u jednom sam dragog zavolela
u mom selu dragog sam imala
svu sam ljubav njemu obecala
Ref. 2x
Dok Morava hladna tece
cekala sam svako vece
na obali noge bose
raspletene kose
Mislila sam da me dragi voli
ostavi me pa me srce boli
srce moje preboleti nece
sto moj dragi drugu curu sece
Ref. 2x
Moj dragane, rano srca moga
tebe volim, necu za drugoga
zbog tebe sam mlada obolela
sta ucini, voda te odnela
Ref. 2x
