mali i zeleno, mali i zeleno
moje srce, lele, moje srce
jadno i cemerno, jadno i cemerno
Merak imam, lele, merak imam

aman mi gu, lele, aman mi gu
drugar zaprosija, drugar zaprosija
Pa me vika, lele, pa me vika
dever da mu bidnem, dever da mu bidnem
da l' da idem, lele, da l' da idem
da li da ne idem, da li da ne idem
Ce da idem lele, ce da idem
makar da ne dojdem
