Oj devojko, dušo moja, kako si se naucila: Sama legni sama digni. A ja, jadan, sam ne mogu. Oku sveće na noć gorim, opet ne se navidujem. Tovar drva na noć gorim, opet ne se napijujem. Cašu sluze na noć lijem, opet ne se naplakujem. Kondir vino na noc’ pijem, opet ne se nagrejujem. Hey you, girl, my darling, how did you learn to lay down alone and to stand up alone. Me, unlucky one, I can’t do that. How many candles I light, still I don’t see clear in the night. I can burn a whole load of wood, still I can’t get warm in the night. I shed a glass full of tears in the night and still I cannot cry enough. I drink a barrel of wine in the night and still I am thirsty, thirsty for you.
