Comment: It is a widespread and popular song, which belongs to semi-urban tradition of Serbs north from Sava and Danube. This manner of performing, in soprano voice register with vibrato, reflects the aestethic ideal which was prodding by the radio programs and sound carriers during the first half of the 20th century. A variant from Hercegszántó (Santovo) has been published in two-part form (nr. 310).

LYRICS (VARIANT)

Padala je sitna kiša rosulja,
na devojci samo jedna košulja,
na devojci samo jedna košulja.

Padala je sitna kiša rosulja,
na devojci samo jedna košulja.

– Oj, devojko, ti ne gazi sitnu kišu rosulju,
ukaljaćeš tvoju belu košulju!

– Ne budali mlado lane i momče,
opraću je na potoku doveče.

– Na potoku jeste voda ’lađana,
pa ćeš dobit’ jaku bolest, mlađana,
uplašićeš tvoju majku staricu,
sedi, curo, pod moju kabanicu!

Kupiću ti pet košulja svileni’,
i sukanja pet vuneni’, predeni’,
i dve trube bela platna predena,
daj da ljubim tvoja usta medena.

– Da mi možeš još i sunce kupiti,
još ti ne dam moja usta ljubiti!
