Lyrics
From Cartier's original notes. The music we have is an instrumental version onlyGosti vi Kajat gorno no male
Idam nejdam, Idam nejdam
Stebe ne idam sama ke dojdam
Gosti vi Kaja gorno me male
Idam nejdam, Idam nejdam
Stebe Nejdam šo ke mi činiš
You are invited, maybe I will go, Maybe I will not.
Also spelled: Викайа
