Дјевојка ружици
Language: Serbian (Српски)
Ах! моја водо студена! И моја ружо румена! Што с' тако рано процвала? Немам те коме тргати: Ако б' те мајци тргала, У мене мајке не има; Ако б' те шеји тргала, Сеја се моја удала; Ако б' те брату тргала, Брат ми је ош'о на војску; Ако б' те драгом тргала, Драги је од мен' далеко: Преко три горе зелене, Преко три воде студене.
