Sabah zora

Sabah zora zivom bojom
plavo nebo rudi
poranila moja draga
pa me ljubec budi

Ustaj, ustaj zlato moje
sabah zora svice
slusaj slatki poj slavuja
gledaj ruze cvijece

Ja podigoh rusu glavu
pogledah je milo
poljubih je pa joj rekoh
sto me budis vilo

Tvoje lice, moja zora
sto ono rudi jasno
tvoja dusa, moje cvijece
sto mirise krasno
