Ćiro
Kad se Ćiro oženio
Ćabar masti potrošio.
Chorus:
/ Ćaj, Ćiro, sjedi s mirom,
U cure ne diraj! /

Sjedi Ćiro za odžakom
namaz'o se sa kajmakom.
Sedi Ćiro za trpezom
namaz'o se sa pekmezom. (Chorus:)
Sjedi Ćiro navrh slame
brkovima plaši vrane. (Chorus:)
When Chiro got married
he used up a whole tub of butter.
Chorus:
Hey Chiro, sit quiet,
leave the girls alone!

Chiro sat behind the chimney
and smeared himself with sour cream.
Chorus:
Chiro sat at the table
and smeared himself with jam.
