Njiva mala, livadce jos manje

divnog jutra kada nakos stane
i bagrema sto pred ulicom
rasirio grane
Ref.
Njivu malu imala sam
livadce jos manje
i ostace sve dok zivim
najdraze imanje
Njivu malu imala sam
livadce jos manje
a zivela k'o da selo
da mi je imanje
Usred luga izvora su dva
tu zastaju stada na zalasku
a momci me pogledima
zovu na igranku
Ref.
I sad zalim, cesto tugujem
sto sam rano otisla iz sela
tamo su mi lepa bila
posela i prela
Ref.
