Djevojcice, djevojcice mala
ti si moje srce otrovala
ti si moje srce otrovala

Nisam znala, nisam vjerovala
dam sam tvoje srce otrovala
dam sam tvoje srce otrovala

Nije znala, ni u gori trala
kad je mene draga milovala
kad je mene draga milovala

A sad znade, i u gori cvijece
da me draga vise ljubit' nece
da me draga vise ljubit' nece
