Majko draga uberi mi
buket belih ruza
zavi ruze divno cvece
u maramu crnu
Da odnesem svojoj dragoj
pokraj odra njenog
da poljubim usne njene
mrtve, potamnele
Zbog cega si tako mlada
morala da umres
i mrtvu te volim duso
moj zeleni cvete
Moj ce zivot uvenuti
bez ljubavi tvoje
i u grob cu s tobom leci
najmilije moje
Sad na grobu dvoje mladih
majke oplakuju
otvori se crna zemljo
vrati decu nasu
Jos su mladi da im lice
crna gruda skriva
otvori se zemljo crna
vrati moga sina
