The excerpt presents a communal family song performed in Mariapolis, Slovenia, in July 2017. Two vocal parts (Speaker A and Speaker B) alternate verses that celebrate the strength, protection, and unity of the family ("družina"). The lyrics use poetic, metaphor‑rich language—referencing blood, bread, fire, and the heart—to convey that family members stand together, support each other, and shield one another from hardship. The song emphasizes collective resilience, mutual aid, and a shared cultural identity expressed through a regional South‑Slavic dialect. Overall, the piece functions as a cultural affirmation of familial bonds and communal solidarity.

a je vol. Sako vjerna sokreti, kri priko nas naprej, z gružino ovijet je vas svijet. O tan, o vjenkihe, o pol tumi, o vjenkistej mederi, Takšne na hosi, po strnu srcu utrpi, od prenahit zaščity, tak pozve družini žiti. Družina smo druh, za drugim stojimo, družini pre všem, kde nás odhredni, kde preko nás namrevi, s dručino objev je vrstni.
Na plezi, s volkou, s krvom, je zavolj, krvi čas nás hredni, na žovlje, s vrtelom i hrednosti, kruh na vlati mišini.
Tu blita ognišča, nam srca ogryva, nam zvrni žaliva, za sily ochron, ochron! Tu živa svoj druh, za druhim stojimo, z ljudzimi brez drzeh, Takov je nás okrepi, kripliko nás napriji, družino objednje vrsti. Družina smogu, za drugim stojimo, družini prešem, sil se naš! z družinou.
