Devojce iz Pomoravlja

Sumadija k'o na dlanu
al' me nesto Pomoravlju mami
stalno gledam na tu stranu
I kad zanjem i kad kosim
njenu sliku uvek nosim
Ref. 2x
Volim svirku i svirace
volim njivu i livadce
al' najvise, mog mi zdravlja
devojce iz Pomoravlja
Travu kosim a slutnje me muce
sta li radi moje luce
od Morave do ravnoga Srema
te lepote nigde nema
I kad zanjem i kad kosim
njenu sliku uvek nosim
Ref. 2x
Skeledzijo prevezi nas preko
Morava je sad duboka
ja se zenim, nek' ne brinu njeni
cuvacu je k'o dva oka
I kad zanjem i kad kosim
njenu sliku uvek nosim
Ref. 2x
