Mani, mani
Lepa Lukic · Other Songs - Lepa Lukic
smiri stoku, vazda rintaj
dokle, bre
Siri mleko, pec' pogacu
svud podmetni ti grbacu
joj, more
U san je mene dos'o plan
za gazdasa da s' udam
motiku da ne vidim
neg' samo da se provodim
Ref.
Pare, pare, pare
koje, more, gazda zivi, bre
pare, pare, pare
drz' za pare, para vrti sve
Kad se ja oparim bre, bre
pasces u nesvest
kad udarim bes
kad udarim bes
Med i mleko tece vazda
gde se taki gazda desi
aman, gde
Da ga nadjem, obrlatim
ima mladost da prekratim
joj, mene
U san je mene dos'o plan
na tombolu cu da igram
prognoza, loto, lutrija
pa tu sam valjda batlija
