cudila se, zeman ja
cudila se u haz-basci trava
za kog podje Zil-hanuma mlada
Pod pecine, aman ja
pod pecine, zeman ja
pod pecine, pod najvise stijene
Nesce bega, aman ja
nesce bega, zeman ja
nesce bega, ne begenise ga
a ni age, jer joj nisu drage
Ona ode, aman ja
ona ode, zeman ja
ona ode za esnafa mlada
Cudila se, aman ja
