Nerantso, mome Nerantso!
Nerantsa e drehi izprala,
na gradina ga prosrela,
deka tsavte zhylto tsveti,
ja Nerantsa mu zboruva:
-Tsavti, tsavti zhylto tsvete,
armasnik mi e daleko,
tri dni hoda da pojdet,
tri dni da dojde.-
Zapregnala e skutovite,
ta e nabrala zhylto tsvete,
ta e napravila do tri kitki,
ta ji klade pazuvata,
taj otide na gemidzhie,
na gemidzhie si zboruva:
-Gemidzhii, milni brate!
ne pomina moj armasnik?-
-Nerantso, mome Nerantso!
Vchera mina tojo armasnik
s devet tovari zheleza,
teshki mu bihat tovarite,
propadnala e gemijata.-
Tzikna Nerantsa, zaplaka:
-Joj ti, bozhe, mili bozhe!
Kam da dune tihin veter,
da prisushi Tzyrno more,
da go orat bivolite,
da go sejat zhylto proso,
da go zhnijat malke mome,
em da zhnijat, em da pejat.
