from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Дјевојка и лице
Language: Serbian (Српски) 
Девојка је крај горе стајала,
Сва се гора од лица сијала,
Девојка је лицу говорила:
"Давор' лице! давор' бриго моја!
"Да ја знадем, моје бело лице,
"Да ће тебе стар војно љубити,
"Ја би ишла у гору зелену,
"Сав би пелен по гори побрала,
"Из пелена б' воду извијала,
"Те би тебе, лице, умивала,
"Кад стар љуби, нека му је горко.
"А да знадем, моје бело лице,
"Да ће тебе млад војно љубити,
"Ја би ишла у зелену башчу,
"Сву би ружу по башчи побрала,
"Из руже би воду извијала,
"Те би тебе, лице, умивала,
"Кад млад љуби, нека му мирише."
