Oj Safete, Sajo, Sarajlijo
a sto si se bolan zaljubio
(2x)

Ref. 2x
Safete, dilbere
zao mi je zbog tebe

Kako ne bih bona komsinice
kad stalno ti gledam bijelo lice
(2x)

Sarajko, djevojko
komsinice lijepojko
(2x)

Stani malo Sajo, Sarajlijo
stani bolan Sajo, Sarajlijo
a zasto si svoju ljubav krio

Ref. 2x

Odvescu te kono dvoru svome
da u njemu nase pjesme zvone
sad me vodi Sajo domu svome
nek u njemu nase pjesme zvone

Safete, (Sarajko) dilbere (djevojko)
ovako vise ne mere
(2x)
