Gde je jelek, anterija
Marinko Rokvic · Other Songs - Marinko Rokvic
kao da u tvojoj dusi nesto vri
kakve se to pesme ore
ne lici to na tebe, Srbijo, more
kao da te bole zvuci novi
nadas se onoj pravoj izvornoj zori
Hej, Srbijo, hej, zemljo mila
kad bih cula pesmu pastira
ti bih zemljo progovorila
Gde je jelek, anterija
po cemu se zna Srbija
skini Maro prasinu s' opanka
ne stidi se, nek' svi vide
da si Srbijanka
Hej, frulo, hej, prico mila
tvoja setna svirka budi
uspomene u grudima
Gde su zvuci harmonike
da se ore kroz sljivike
sipaj Mile rakiju u bukliju
nek' svi vide da se zenis
kreni kroz Srbiju
Hej, Srpkinjo, hej, majko mila
ti si mene jos u svom krilu
lepom pesmom zadojila
Gde su prela i igranke
ruse kose u seljanke
radjaj Maro kceri i sinove
neka pamte i nek' slede
srpske obicaje
