Voljelo se dvoje mladih
šest mjeseci, godinu
kad su htjeli da se uzmu, da se uzmu aman, aman
dušmani im ne dadoše
Razbolje se lijepa Fatma
jedinica u majke
poželjela žute dunje, žute dunje aman, aman
žute dunje iz Stambola
Pođe dragi da donese
žute dunje Carigradske
al’ ga nema tri godine, tri godine aman, aman
nit’ se javlja, niti dolazi
Dođe dragi sa dunjama
nađe Fatmu na nosilima
dvjesta dajem spustite je, trista dajem otkrijte je
da još jednom Fatmu ljubim ja
English Translation
Yellow Quinces
Two youngsters loved each other
six months, a year
when they wanted to get married
to get married, oh goshhh
fiends didn’t let them
Beautiful Fatma got sick
only mother’s child
she wished for yellow quinces
yellow quinces, oh goshhh
yellow quinces, yellow quinces
from Stambol
Her darling left to bring
yellow Carigrad quinces
but he’s been gone for three years
three years, oh goshhh
he neither calls, nor comes
Her darling came back bringing quinces
to find Fatma on stretcher
I offer two hundred, put her down
I offer three hundred, uncover her
so that I can kiss Fatma one more time
