NOTE

LYRICS

Ej, ej, magla pala, magla pala, ej,
biser rosa pokapala jorgovan, jorgovan,
tu sam svu noć proplakala uzaman, uzaman,
tu sam svu noć proplakala uzaman, uzaman.

Magla pala, biser rosa pokapala jorgovan,
tu sam svu noć proplakala uzaman.
Dragi reče: – Doći ću ti prvo veče u akšam.
A što reče, pa poreče, da čekam

Coda:
Čekala bi’ još dve noći i vas dan,
tugo moja, da l’ ćeš proći, uzaman?
