Voljelo se dvoje mladih
sest mjeseci i godinu
kad su htjeli da se uzmu, da se uzmu
aman, aman, dusmani im ne dadose

Razbolje se lijepa Fatma
jedinica u majke
zazeljela zute dunje
oh aman, aman, aman
zute dunje iz Stambola

Ode dragi da donese
zute dunje carigradske
vrijeme proslo, al' ga nema
oh aman, nit' se javlja, niti dolazi

Dodje dragi sa dunjama
nadje Fatmu na nosilima
dvjesto dajem, spustite je
trista dajem, otkrite je
da jos jednom Fatmu ljubim ja
