[BRIJA]
So Bogdan has now found the hajduk home
We leave him there now and to elsewhere go
Along the far lands and the mountains wide
To find what became of the stolen child

Little girl lost and so far gone
Little girl come sing a faraway song
Through the hills and winding roads you’ve rode so long

Little girl lost all dressed in red
In a line of girls the miles, you'll tread
To a far off, foreign land you'll all be led

Cry mama cry, cry mama cry
Your lost girl wants you here with her tonight

Little girl lost to the barracks arrives
In a row of cots, you will sleep tonight
You'll live your life here, tucked away inside

And day by day you’ll all be trained
Told to what gods you will pray
A Janissary harem you will be one day

And cry mama cry, cry mama cry
Your lost girl wants you here with her tonight
