she does not want to hear the beautiful Emina,
already in the silver ibrik hit the water,
so he went down the gale bay.
The wind blocks from the branches,
so down knitting puste
the underfunding of her braid is thick.
Hair calms,
k’o zumbuli blue,
and a barrel in my head starts!
A little non-stumbled,
my dune,
al’my beautiful Emina doesn’t come to me.
She only looked at me grimly once,
nor haje, alcak,
what for her church’!
