from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Therese Albertine Luise von Jacob (1797 - 1870), as Talvj

Момак моли мајку
Language: Serbian (Српски) 
Моја мајко, ожени ме млада,
Док ме није обузела брада,
Обузела брада и бркови;
Пак ће онда да реку ђевојке,
Кад ме својој мајци ускажују:
"Нуто, мајко, из међе међеда;"
Или: "Нуто из купуса зеца."

o Mutter, sieh' den Hasen aus dem Kraute!"
