Mėgo noriu, saldaus mėgo

Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba)

Mėgo noriu, saldaus mėgo,
  N'įmanau kur gulti. 
Gauczau kėme mergużytę,
  Ne żinau ką weikia. 

Siųsczau paslą ir tarnėlį, 
  Ką mergyte weikia. 
Skina pina wainikelį
  Zaliujǔ rutaczǔ. 

Ji skindama, dabindama 
   Su wainiku kalba: 
 ainikeli żaliǔ rutǔ,
  Kur mudu nueiswa? 

O asz żaliosiu swirnelej' 
  O tu uż bernelio, 
Asz swirnelej' beżaliosiu,
  Tu jauna bewerksi. 

Asz pas sawo motinelę 
  Kai roże żydėjau,
O pas tawę, bernużeli, 
  Kai mėta pawysiu. 

Asz pas sawo motinelę
  Kai darże rutele, 
O pas tawę, bernużeli,
  Kai rankoj' kwėtkele.
