Translation in english:
A girl planted a vine, a white wine grape vine.
For one day she planted, for two she regretted
the white wine grape vine.
The vine grew up, the white wine grape vine.
It filled nine barrels with wine,
The tenth with clear, strong rakija.
A young soldier learned to drink.
He drank for two days, he drank for three days, for a week.
He drank up his black horse from under him.
