Medjimurje are the northernmost territory of Croatia. The geographical and spatial separation in the very north of Croatia is influenced by a number of historical circumstances that have left their mark, both in the political, ideological and socio-psychological, as well as in the cultural sphere. Medjimurje is characterized by its own oral and literary heritage. From the system of oral literature, the focus of this work was oral lyric which is narrated, collected and written down because of older generations who transmitted oral word. The first known manuscripts of oral poetry in Medjimurje date from the 16th century, while the first printed collections date from the Romantic period. Vinko Zganec left a great significance in Medjimurje's oral literary heritage, as he was the first who collect, write and print a large number of directed lyrical poems from the area of Međimurje at the beginning of the 20th century. Apart from Zganac, ethnographers, ethnomusicologists, folklorists, philologists and ethnologists Stjepan Hranjec, Ivan Zvonar, Zvonimir Bartolic, Florijan Andrasec and Lidija Bajuk dealt with the related oral literary heritage of Medjimurje. The analysis of their work shows how they represented the lyric material of Međimurje, how they were classified, what they said about the performance and narrative context. At the end of the paper, the poem Vehni, Vehni fijolica was analyzed, which was recognized as the one that symbolically became emblematic for oral literature in Medjimurje with different adaptations in cultural space. Oral lyric from Medjimurje is permanently materialized in written form so it will be available to future generations, but in its original, oral form, it is difficult to find today.
