Romana i Mihajlo (duet P. Z. Tozovac)
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
ti si ponos i majke i tate
svi te vole, duso moja
a najvise sestra tvoja
Oj, Romana, mila sele
pruzi meni ruke bele
ti si sunce sto mi sija
sejo moja najmilija
Nas otac je hrabar bio
ognjiste je napustio
ostavio otadzbinu
i krenuo u tudjinu
Oj, Romana, mila sele
lepo nasi ljudi vele
druga zemlja, druga mati
za Srbijom srce pati
A kad nadjem pravu srecu
zaboravit' tebe necu
i tebi ce biti milo
mili brate Mihailo
Oj, Romana, mila sele
brat i sestra srecu dele
sve sto imam ja cu dati
da te sreca vecno prati
Romana i Mihajlo
