from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Несрвћна дјевојка
Language: Serbian (Српски) 
Девојка јунаку прстен повраћала:
"Нај ти прстен,  момче, мој те род не љуби,
"Ни отац, ни мајка, ни брат, ни сестрица;
"Ал' ме немој, момче, на глас износити,
"Јер сам ја сирота несретна девојка:
"Ја босиљак сејем, мени пелен ниче.
"Ој пелен, пеленче, моје горко цвеће!
"Тобом ће се моји свати накитити,
"Кад ме стану тужну до гроба носити."
