Spopala me jedna zena

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
