Dao bi se kladit

zauvik zamucat', prid svitom branit' te
da ric mi nece kriva priko usta pric'
tamo di si bila di jubija sam te
Dao bi ti srce, dusu vec si uzela
dao bi jos vise, nego sto sam ikad da
da bar nisam cuja kad si nestala
da bar nisam vidi kad ruku ti je da
Ref.
Boje od ovog
nisam niti moga, niti zna
i cime bi te daje pratija
Ti putuj s' mirom
nemir bice moja posteja
dal' sam ti ikad reka da si
puno vise od mene, zavridila
Dao bi se kladit
