Zagorski Zvonovi

Andrej Šifrer · Hiti Počasi

Pa bom šel na planine,
na visoke gore,
da bom slišal zvoniti,
zagorske zvone,
da bom slišal zvoniti,
zagorske zvone.

Pa zagorski zvonovi
prav milo pojo,
ko mojo preljubo,
k pogrebu neso.

Pa če jo nesejo,
le naj jo neso,
saj dolgo ne bode,
ko pojdem za njo.

Pa zvoniti bom pustil,
kropiti pa ne,
saj kropile jo bodo,
le moje solze.

Zagreble jo bodo,
le moje roke,
krog groba sadil bom
cvetlice lepe.

Med mile cvetice
naj me polože,
saj vem, da mi poči
na grobu srce.
