a nana mi brani
sta mi moze
on je momak pravi
Ref. 2x
Opancici mali, laki
dukatici ciki-caki
ja ga volim nano moja
k'o dva oka svoja
Gde si bila nano
maloprije
dok se nisam
zavolela s' njime
Ref. 2x
Zelen orah lep i mlad
zen' se Mile dok si mlad
zen' se Mile dok si mio
ma siromah bio
Mene nana sve
secerom vara
da se ne bih
za Mila udala
Ref. 2x
Cveta ruza al' ne vene
dodji Mile vodi mene
daj mi Mile oci tvoje
dacu tebi srce svoje
Volim Mila a nana mi brani
