Suza sa zagorske brege

a mesec jos zajti ni stel
potiho sem otprl rasklimanu lesu
i pinklec na pleca sem del
Stara je mati isla za menom
nemo vu zemlu gledec
Ni mogla znati kaj zbirem vu dusi
i zakaj od vcera nis rekel ni rec
prevec smo toga povedat si steli
a se smo pozabili vec
Gda smo vre presli kraj najzadnje hize
vu suzah najemput sem bil
kaj ne bi to vidla stara mi mati
z rukami lice sem skril
Sud oko mene su disale roze
i bil je rascveteni maj
A ja nis ni jemput pogledal za sobom
od tuge nis mogel pozdraviti kraj
samo sem bregima dragim obecal
da vrnul se bum nazaj
Suza sa zagorske brege
