[Sjeo je ispred mene i napokon počeo, možda po prvi put nakon 20 godina, pričati istinu. Istinu koja će zalediti moje kompletno biće.]

Aj pošla Anka u šumu,

S' sjekirom na ramenu,

Za njom išla tri žandara,

Sva tri naoružana.

Prvi nosi okove,

Drugi nosi noževe,

A taj treći sablju tanku,

Da zakolje Anku.

Anka njih je molila,

Bijele ruke sklopila,

Nemojte me, braćo, klati,

Muž će moj plakati,

Aj šta će reći moja majka,

Da je zaklana Anka.

English:

DYING TIMES

[He sat down in front of me and finally, for the first time after almost 20 years, started telling the truth...]

Anka went to the woods,

With an ax on her shoulders;

She was followed by three knaves,

All three digging her grave.

The first one carried chains,

The second one carried a knife,

Third one wanted to rape

and slaughter innocent Anka.

Anka begged for her life

With her silky white fingers:

"Please, please don't kill me,

my husband will cry;

What will my mother say

to find her daughter raped and slained..."
