Tell Me, Tell

Tell Me, Tell

Tell me, tell,

How should I call you;

Tell me, which

Name I should give you, -

Will I my "pride"

Or my "strength" veneer,

Or will I "treasure"

Or "my little deer",

Will I "soul",

or "my dear" -

Tell me, which

name I should give you!

Each of these is a sweet

And beautiful name

with which a Serb

His gold will nickname;

But I would spend

One entire life

Searching for a beautier,

Prouder and sweeter,

Dearer name,

by the world unheard,

to call by it

my flower yet furled.
