Dijete i baka
Language: Croatian (Hrvatski)
Bako, stara bako, babuščice mila, Jesil' i ti kadgod mala, mlada bila? Jesil' mogla kadgod ispraviti leđa? Jel' i tvoja kosa bila kadgod smeđa? Jel' i tvoja halja bila kadgod kratka? Jel' i tebe tkogod zvao "Dušo slatka?" Jel' i tebi tkogod kada lutku dao? Skrhala se valjda, pa ti je sad žao? Ta zar mora, bako, ostarjeti svako? Hočul' i ja, bako, ostarjeti tako? Moram li zar i ja tako da posijedim? Tako se smežuram, zgurim i poblijedim? Pa zar nema tome baš nika kvoga lijeka? Zar ne može nitko živjeti dovijeka?
