Moj dilbere
Moj dilbere, kud šećeš?
Haj što i mene ne povedeš?
Seni sendum, bir efendum,Aman jarabi!
Izvedi me u čaršiju,
Haj, pa me prodaj bazardžiji.
Uzmi za me oku zlata,
Haj, pa pozlati dvoru vrata.
My darling (translation)
My darling, where are you?
Why don’t you come to me?
What a horrible man-
Oh, Dear God!
He is taking me to the market
And selling me in the bazaar.
He sold me for a golden trinket
To hang on the door for decoration.
