Ej, moj Milane

Shvatio si, al' je kasno sada
ja sad volim mladica iz grada
pustio si da odem iz sela
mada nisam zelela ni htela

Ref.
Ej, moj Milane
jabuke su obrane
ja sad ljubim, moj Milane
lepe varosane

Otisla sam onda iz inata
da zaradim dukata i zlata
da ti dragi donesem miraza
al' me druga uhvatila staza

Ref.

Shvatio si, al' je kasno sada
lepse ljube mladici iz grada
u gradu je svako vece prelo
ne vracam se vise ja u selo

Ref.

Ej, moj Milane
