kada padne prvi sneg
Ja upregnem konja dva
dva vatrena sokola
pa se sankam noc i dan
(2x)
Mnogo zena srecem tad
mnogo zena srecem tad
Svakoj blagi osm'jeh dam
poznajem je ili ne
ni jednoj se ne rugam
(2x)
Svaku zenu volim ja
svaku zenu volim ja
Bila ona plavusa
smedja il' garavusa
svaku zenu volim, ja
(2x)
