Oj djevojko, djidjo moja
Himzo Polovina · Other Songs - Himzo Polovina
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
