Buket belih ruža

Majko draga uberi mi
buket belih ruža
zavi ruže divno cveće
u maramu crnu
 
Da odnesem svojoj dragoj
pokraj odra njenog
da poljubim usne njene
mrtve, potamnele
 
Zbog čega si tako mlada
morala da umreš
i mrtvu te volim dušo
moj zeleni cvete
 
Moj će život uvenuti
bez ljubavi tvoje
i u grob ću s tobom leći
najmilije moje
 
Sad na grobu dvoje mladih
majke oplakuju
otvori se crna zemljo
vrati decu našu
 
Još su mladi da im lice
crna gruda skriva
otvori se zemljo crna
vrati moga sina
 
Translation

Bouquet of white roses

Dear mom, make me a bouquet of white roses
Wrap the roses, delightful flowers, in black wrap
 
So I can bring them to my beloved by her catafalque
and kiss her dead and dark lips
 
Why did you have to die at the very young age
I love you even though you’re dead, my green flower
 
My life will wither without your love
And I will lay in the grave by your side my dearest
 
Now by the grave moms are crying over two young people
Open up the black ground and bring our children back
 
They are too young to be hiding under the ground
Open up te black ground and bring me back my son
