Kraj jezera jedna kuca mala

tu je ona dragog cekala
obec'o je da ce doci
i da ce joj prsten doneti
Zora svanu, suza vise nema
a ni dragog kog je cekala
kraj jezera uplakana
maramica bela ostala
Ako nekad ljubis momce mlado
znaj da ce te brzo ostavit'
jer on ne zna sta je ljubav
i ne moze dugo veran bit'
