Cer o stareg kalafata

bi je mestar od zanata
na sve bande kad se ode
nigdir takvog kalafata
bi je mestar zlatne ruke
ma najlipje ca je jema
nisu brodi nasrid luke
vengo cer krasota jedna
Njene oci pune vire
caklile se ka od zlata
jubila me priko mire
cer o stareg kalafata
cu san srce di jon kuca
poput fineg, skupeg sata
jubila me blizu guca
cer o stareg kalafata
Za vjencanje njen je pape
najbolji nam brod porinu
letile su u vis kape
ma nesrica sve prikinu
puknila je cima broda
osinula je nevistu
ka kad satu pukne korda
osta lezat tu na mistu
Njene oci pune vire
izlile su sjaj svog zlata
jubila me priko mire
cer o stareg kalafata
srce vise jon ne kuca
moje tuce poput mlata
kad se sitim blizu guca
ceri stareg kalafata
Cer o stareg kalafata
