cupriju sagradio
mnogo zlata i zivota
u nju je potrosio
Ref.
Na cupriju mehmed stade
i besjedu dade
ko cupriju moju srusi
neka mu se ruka susi
Visegrad je Mehmed pasa
cuprijom ukrasio
u amanet majci Bosni
uspomenu ostavio
Ref.
Nije znao Mehmed pasa
potomstvo ce krv proliti
da cupriju od svakoga
zauvijek ce odbraniti
Ref.
