Ptica vuga prepeluje i svojimi devetimi:
"Či si pojdem v pole z vami, tam me najdu kosci rani.
Mene staru pokosiju, vas pak mlade poloviju.
Či si pojdem v šumu z vami, tam me najde jagar mladi."
Počne jagar na cil dati, počne vuga se moliti:
"Naj me, naj me, mladi jagar, mladi jagar dober puškar!"
Ja ti očem povedati, kak se moraš oženiti:
"Ne zemi si staru dovu, stara dova velka žalost,
Ne zemi si mladu dovu, mlada dova trdokorna,
Već si zemi devojčicu, devojčicu kak ružicu
Kaj bude se rano stala i donesla friške vode
S kom budeš si oči spiral, kad buš išel vu lovinu
Kad buš išel vu lovinu, tam buš videl su živinu!"

Under the lyrics, in the booklet:
So, what's the best way to get married and, most important, whom to marry? The answer to that question, asked so many times by so many young men of certain age, if at all interested in marriage in the first place, can sometimes be obtained in the most unexpectede way. For example, you can go hunting, and, if you are lucky, you'll meet a bird which will try to persuade you to spare its life by promising to solve the marriage puzzle in exchange. That was the fate of ouryoung hunter and the cunning bird he met was a golden oriole afraid for its life and the life of its nine nestling. What was the advice he got? One that made him spare the bird, we hope.
