LYRICS (VARIANT)

Rasla mi je, rasla, titva i nerandža,
rasla mi je, rasla, titva i nerandža,
ej, u Lazini dvorovi.

Rasla mi je, rasla, titva i nerandža
u Lazini dvorovi.
Tu mi sedi jadna gospođa Jerina,
stara majka Lazina.
Na krilu joj spava njena mila snaha,
prva ljuba Lazina.
Otud ide Laza, bič u ruci nosi,
bičem ljubu da bije.
Govori mu jadna gospođa Jerina,
stara majka njegova:
– Ne udaraj, Lazo, svoje verne ljube,
suze su joj, Lazo, lice ogrubile,
kose su joj Lazo, pleća prešibale
sve žaleći, Lazo, dalekoga roda.
