Songs
Saraiman
Ileana - Ileana
Deschide - gropare - mormantul!
Ani mei si tineretea
Maneaua florareselor
Erau Zarzarii-nfloriti
Tot am zis ma duc - ma duc
Hora dinspre ziua
Toata lumea doarme
Inima suparacioasa
Vintule - bataia ta
Cine nu stie ce-i doru
Sa te ajunga dorul meu
Doi tovarasi am la drum
In gradina cu tufani
Hora lui Baila
Adu calu' sa ma duc
Pleaca-o nevestica-n lume
Hora lui Gore Ionescu
Pe mine ma cheama Floare
Ursitoare - ursitoare
Pasare necunoscuta
Balanus
Nici nu ninge - nici nu ploua
Tinerete - tinerete
As munci la plug si coasa
Pe drumul manastiresc
Didina - Didina mea
Nu stiu cu ce ti-am gresit
Vantule - bataia ta
Ce frumoase-s fetele
Pentr-un cal si-o iapa sura
