Oj, Srbijo lepotice

Da sam ptica lastavica
da odletim do Uzica
i da cujem kako Tara
sa Avalom razgovara

Ref.
Oj, Srbijo lepotice
svi gradovi i sva sela
tvojih reka bistra vrela
sve planine i ravnice
to je tvoje divno lice
oj, Srbijo lepotice

Da u Macvi vidim njive
i ratare kako zive
da pogledam Nis i Vranje
sevdalinsko milovanje

Ref.

Koliko je Pomoravlje
jos je vece tvoje slavlje
kolika je Sumadija
jos si lepsa i milija

Ref.
