Hej daj mi jabuku

u kraju mom obicaj je star
jabuku djevojci da mladic njen
donese na dar
I ako joj je drag
uz osmijeh svoj djevojka ce tad
veselo primit' dar
i k' njemu pric da ruku mu da
Ref. 2x
Hej daj mi jabuku sto za me skrivas tu
ta zelja dugo vec u tvom oku sja
hej daj mi jabuku, rumenu jabuku
da je zagrizem i tvoja bit cu ja
Dugo vec dugo znam
al' isto to sada znaju svi
da sam ti draga ja
da zelis bit' moj jer volis me ti
I dok te cekam tu
vec cujem tvoj dobro poznat hod
ja sada sama znam
sto zelis mi dat' dok gledas u pod
Ref. 2x
