Macvo moja
Toma Djordjevic · Other Songs - Toma Djordjevic
hej, ti Lelo, devojce veselo
prodjoh svetom, sve cetiri strane
nigde nema k'o Lele devojke
nigde moje Macve raspevane
Ref. 2x
Kocijasu, civijasu
uzmi stoparac, teraj u Sabac
Lelo, tebi nosim dara
srce iz nedara
Stara kola, pa slaba civija
pa se tocak k'o trska savija
za Lelom mi srce iskopnilo
gde si Sapcu, nigde te ne bilo
da poljubim moje luce milo
Ref. 2x
Nad Macvom se oluja podize
moj fijaker u Sabac ne stize
teraj kola, moj mili fijane
da mi Lela nogu ne ugane
plakajuci, mene cekajuci
Ref. 2x
