Oj djevojko, djidjo moja

Oj djevojko, dzidzo moja
dzidzala te majka tvoja
nadzidzanu meni dala
dala pa se pokajala

Nadzidzanu meni dala
sa mnom dzidze potrgala
jer ja jesam kujundzija
kujundzija Sarajlija
Sarajlija meraklija

Sto no kuje tepeluke
i na ruke belenzuke
nove cu ti sakovati
njima cu te darivati

Oj djevojko, djidjo moja
