Жеља обога
Language: Serbian (Српски)
Девојчица воду гази, Ноге јој се беле, За њом момче коња јаше, Гроотом се смеје: "Гази, гази, девојчице, "Не би л' моја била!" -- "Кад би знала и видела, "Да би твоја била, "Млеком би се умивала, "Да би бела била; "Ружом би се утирала; "Да б' румена била; "Свилом би се опасала, "Да би танка била."
