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.
