Spopala me jedna zena

I siroka, i duboka
i poprijeko, na sve strane
i prebliza, i daleka
spopala me, moj jarane

I zelena, i rezeda
i od danas, i od lane
i od zuci, i od meda
zatekla me, moj jarane

Ref. 2x
Spopala me jedna zena
kao kakva slatka mora
pa sad zivim kao sjena
ispod njenih prozora

I lukava, i postena
i porocna, i bez mane
i zauvijek izgubljena
obuze me, moj jarane

Ref. 2x
