Spremio sam svog dorata

za daleka puta
da obidjem dragu svoju
na mene je ljuta
Sto nisam odavno pod prozorom bio
sto joj doro nije bastu pogazio
Veceras kad mjesec zrakom
obavije sela
odjahacu dragoj svojoj
do njenog pendzera
I prstenom zlatnim kucnut' po pendzeru
ljubiti joj usne, najsladju veceru
Setacemo niz djul bastu
do pred zoru ranu
tad ce doro da odnese
mene i draganu
Mojoj staroj majci da ispunim zelju
da provede svoju starost u veselju
