Jos ne svice rujna zora

jos ne trepti list sa gora
ne cuje se glas slavuja
zoru da najavi
Ne cuje se ni zefira
niti svirka od pastira
tisina je svud okolo
sve zivo pociva
Ref.
Neka cvijeta rosno cvijece
nek se kiti s' njim proljece
ja ga necu vise brati
jer nije za mene
Ja ga necu vise brati
jer ga nemam kome dati
kome sam ga darivao
zemlja je pokriva
Jos ne svice rujna zora
