Ja priče mnoge znam,
priče divne kao sne,
o šumi staroj priču znam
gde tama skriva sve...
2.
O suncu priče znam
i to kakve priče, hej,
al' pesme pevam jedino
o mojoj Doli Dej...
Ref.
Moja Doli Dej, ti si, hej,
za mene sunca sjaj.
Svoj pogled blag
i osmeh drag
još jednom meni daj...
3.
Kad prođe dnevni rad
na gitari sviram tad
i pevam slatke pesmice
o mojoj Doli Dej...
4.
Njen divni vitki stas,
njen toli, zvonki glas,
u kraju mom je zaneo,
očarao sve nas...
Ref.
DOLLY DAY
1.
I've told you 'bout the banjo,
De fiddle and de bow,
likewise about the cotton fields,
De shuble and de hoe;
2.
I've sung about de bulgine
dat blew de folks away,
and now I'll sing a little song
about my Dolly Day.
Ref.
Oh, Dolly Day looks so gay
I run all around and round,
to hear her fairy footsteps play
as she comes o'er de ground.
3.
And when de work is over,
I make de banjo play,
and while I striked de dulcem notes
I think of Dolly Day.
4.
Her form is like de posy
de lily of de vale,
her voice is far de sweetest sound
dat floats upon de gale.
