Kadir-aga Skadranine
skroj mi curak, zima mi je

Imam curak, tijesan mi je
prod'o bih ga, Skadranine

Prod'o bih ga, tijesan mi je
al' mu nemam musterije

Sehara mi puna blaga
al' ne haje moja draga
mene nece moja draga
skroj mi curak, Kadir-aga

Skroj mi curak i caksire
njoj dimije djan-fezlije
meni curak i caksire
njoj dimije uckurlije
skroj mi ih do icindije
