En glaž vina mi dej
Iztok Mlakar · Štorije in baldorije
prej ku oct z njega rata,
dej nu malčk se nasmej, kelnarca moja zlata,
ncoj sm ledik nu frej.
Ja, spet ostou sm sam,
kadar štorija konča se,
ni lepu sej priznam, ma treba je mislt nase
in jz kr tko se ne dam.
Ma hodi, hodi,
si že najdeš kej boljšga,
svet se nebo podrov od tebe in če ni blo hujšga
ni nobeden še umrou.
Ma hodi, hodi,
an bog stoj ti ob strani,
preveč rad sem te mel,
da bi ti reku ostani,
ma da bi vsaj jokat znou.
Mrak se nardu je že,
ancoj so zvezde res krasne,
moj ti bog, ma jih je, ben če kera ugasne,
kos neba z njo umre.
An nu malčkmn luči
je ostalo za tabo,
ma ncoj pije se mi, ncoj jz vina bi rabu,
da b' mi svetla u temi.
