Cesto mladjan prosetah kraj Drine

da me zelja na draganu mine
Drina sumi, valovi joj pjene
pa mi budi drage uspomene
Ja i draga tu smo srecni bili
pokraj Drine dane provodili
zarka ljubav nasa srca spaja
i zanosi toplih zagrljaja
Tri godine volismo se vjerno
ljubismo se, mladi neizmijerno
dodje vrijeme puno jada moga
draga moja ode za drugoga
Prodje vrijeme, a behar mirise
nema drage da me ceka vise
prestali su zagrljaji njeni
svi su moji snovi izgubljeni
Cesto mladjan prosetah kraj Drine
