ruzom ogradjeno
pola, pola
ruzom pola bosiokom
Ref. 2x
Dragacevo diko moja
tebe krase brda tvoja
i ravnice uz Bjelicu
nosim te u srcu
S' jedne sjedne strane
planinom Jelicom
s' druge, druge strane
rekom moravicom
Ref.
To sto, to sto nosi
slavu Dragaceva
sabor, sabor trube
i kad se zapeva
Ref.
Dvesta truba kad zasvira
sa ovcara i kablara
nek se pesma jos zapeva
pesma Dragaceva
