- Ozgora idat Turcite,
- mladi Ljubanki teraat,
- napred mi odi Todorka.
- Todorke mlada nevesto,
- ostavi si go deteto
- na tie ravni ledini
- na tie tenki kamenja.
- Todorka poču turčinot
- si go ostavi deteto
- na tie ravni ledini.
- Mi pominal ovčarče
- pa si go zema deteto,
- pa si go glavil sluginče
- kaj edna mlada vdovica.
- kaj toj mi Osman Beg.
- Devet mi godidi sluguval,
- liceto ne i go videl
- na taa mlada vdovica.
- Poduvnal veter gornjaneni
- i go duvnal feredžeto,
- liceto i se otkrilo,
- liceto na vdovicata.
- I togaš si ovčarče zagrabil,
- majčice mila majčice,
- deka sisluguvaše devet godini
- vo taa crna zandana.
- Ah milo moje detence,
- deka rasteše devet godini
- vo tie crni zandani.
- Togaš si majka zagrnal,
- zaklal si turčin na guša
- i kuḱa si napravil
- so tie pari od sluguvanje

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
