by Andrej Praprotnik (1827 - 1895)

Pesem od šivelje
Language: Slovenian (Slovenščina) 
Šivanka le urno 
Obračaj se ti,
Ker šivati meni 
Se sila mudi!
Nikar me ne zbadaj,
Mi tekaj gladkó,
Obleka da lepo 
Sešita mi bo.

In nitka ne trgaj, 
Se mi ne zmikuj,
Nikar ne nagajaj, 
Gostó zavezuj!
In solnce skoz okno 
Sijaj mi svitló,
Da nitko udeti 
Bom mogla urnó.

Sem švelja poštena 
S šivanko živím,
Pod streho na gorkem 
Dovoljno sedím.
Zadosti šivanja 
In dela imam,
Izdelano slabo 
Iz roke ne dam.
