Hajri Ma Te Dike
Hajri mate dike daje sodindjanman tuda

Bud- but- dike rena daje hajri maro hana
Meterni daje mori beda derovana
Meternida daje mori meda de rovava
Ko brazde sovava daje mori maro ha…

İbrahim
But pirgan but dikjan
Navaljangan so kerdan
Mo ternipe rovljargan
Ko kalipe bicavgan
İbrayim mangav tut
İbrayim ka lav tut
İbrayim ka merau
Başi tut nasvaljovav
Bizi tute diyes kalo pe
Bizi tute rati kalo pe
Bilacipe baro kerdan
Mangipe bisregan
İbrayim mangav tut
İbrayim ka lav tut
İbrayim ka merau
Başi tut nasvaljovav
Cambazlık yapmayasın
Ayağını denk alasın
Arkamda gözüm var benim
Çal bana çalgıcı İbrayim
İbrayim mangav tut
İbrayim ka lav tut
İbrayim ka merau
Başi tut nasvaljovav

Kaleš bre Anđo,
Što tambura sviri,
Tamburata sviri ,
Kaleš bre Anđo,
Ti da se poturčiš.
‘Ajde, slušaj, slušaj,
Kaleš bre Anđo,
Što tambura sviri.

Come, listen, listen,

What the tambura is playing.

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.

Čaje Šukarije
Čajorije, šukarije,

Irin, dikh man, čaje!”
Ahaaah Ahaaaa Aaaaaa Aaaaa
Tele dikhe, vogi tare, pani ane,
Čajorije, šukarije,

ma phir urde pala mande, čaje! – čaje
Haljan, pekljan man, — čaj’ šukarije!
mo vodži liljan, — čaj’ šukarije!
Irin, dikh man, čaje!
Beautiful girl (translation)
Young Gypsy girl is so beautiful
that she enchants a boy
through her walk and beauty
He begs her to stay a little,
just for a moment,
to turn back and look at him
But she just walks by proudly
Looking beautiful and does not look at him,
who is burning with desire.
