А у Турско руо облачити:
Око главе бијеле кауке,
А на плећи зелене доламе,
А на ноге меневиш чакшире,
О појасу сабље пламените;- Oću njima ruo prom’jeniti,
A u Tursko ruo oblačiti:
Oko glave bijele kauke,
A na pleći zelene dolame,
A na noge meneviš čakšire,
O pojasu sablje plamenite; - I want to change their apparel,
and in Turkish apparel dress them:
around their heads white caouks,
and on their shoulders green dolmans,
and on their legs violet baggy breeches,
in their belts fiery sabers;
