dele polje na dvoje
sastaju se dusmani
hoce da nas razdvoje
Ref.
Ciji ono svatovi
bez muzike poljem hode
ciji ono svatovi
uplakani kolo vode
ciji ono sviraci
mesto pesme, tugu poje
ciji ono sviraci
mesto para, suze broje
Sudbina nam sudila
mi smo sami ostali
nisam te ni ljubila
a vec smo se rastali
