NOTE

LYRICS

Аj, čija flura ovim šorom svira,
aj, čija flura ovim šorom svira?

Čija flura ovim šorom svira?
To je flura siromaškog sina,
a gazdačka zasvirati neće:
gazda plati, pa ga svirac prati.

Gazda pije i vina i sode,
a siroma’ samo ’ladne vode.
– Pratite me, dvanajst tamburaša,
pratite me do moga salaša,
do salaša: stotina je vaša,
od salaša: kud je volja vaša.
