Stigla jesen, jesen rana

kise padaju
po moju se milu dragu
svati spremaju
Zaplakala moja draga
rano u zoru
rosno cvijece zalivala
na svom prozoru
Ljubio sam usne njene
usne rumene
al' joj njena stara majka
ne da za mene
Ukrast cu je staroj majci
neka tuguje
al' ce sa mnom moja draga
sretna da bude
Stigla jesen, jesen rana
