sto sam s dragim na igranci bila
na igranci na velikom prelu
preko brega u susednom selu
Ref.
Vremena su prosla stara
i sa njima obicaji
ne kriju se vise nano
kao nekad osecaji
Ne ljuti se sto sam bila sama
sta bi' s' tobom kraj moga Dragana
ovi momci vise se ne stide
da poljube kad starije vide
Ref.
Dok setamo poljubi me samo
od toga se ne umire nano
lepo njemu, a lepo i meni
bice tako mozda do jesenji
Ref.
