Cudila se, aman ja
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
