\u2013 Bun\u0103 ziua, turcilor,<\/p>\n
Turcilor, voinicilor!<\/p>\n
Auzit-am, auzit,<\/p>\n
Lucru mie potrivit,<\/p>\n
C-ave\u0163i un rob de pierzare;<\/p>\n
Nu l-a\u0163i face de v\u00e2nzare?<\/p>\n
C\u0103 de cumva mi l-a\u0163i da,<\/p>\n
Bucuros l-a\u015f cump\u0103ra<\/p>\n
\u015ei de cumva vi-i de dat,<\/p>\n
Mie mi-i de cump\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u015ei de-a fi cam tinerel,<\/p>\n
V-a\u015f da mul\u0163i galbeni pe el,<\/p>\n
Ca s\u0103 mi-l fac diecel;<\/p>\n
C\u0103 la vreme de sl\u0103bie<\/p>\n
N-are nime s\u0103 m\u0103 \u0163ie<\/p>\n

Ba, de n-ar avea cap greu,<\/p>\n
L-a\u015f \u00eenv\u0103\u0163a tot mereu,<\/p>\n
S\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103-n locul meu!<\/p>\n
Turcii, cum \u00eel auzea,<\/p>\n
To\u0163i din grai a\u015fa gr\u0103ia<\/p>\n
\u2013 P\u0103rinte, sfin\u0163a-ta,<\/p>\n
Noi robul nu \u0163i l-om da,<\/p>\n
C\u0103 nu-i neam de diecel,<\/p>\n
Ci e neam de Nov\u0103cel!<\/p>\n
\u015ei nou\u0103 nu ni-i de dat,<\/p>\n
C\u0103 pe el l-am judecat<\/p>\n
Ca s\u0103 fie sp\u00e2nzurat,<\/p>\n
C\u0103-i un mare blestemat.<\/p>\n
Seam\u0103n\u0103 cu tat\u0103l s\u0103u,<\/p>\n

Novac, dac\u0103 auzea,<\/p>\n
Turcilor c\u0103 le zicea<\/p>\n
\u2013 Dac\u0103 nu mi-l slobozi\u0163i,<\/p>\n
V\u0103 rog s\u0103 nu-l potopi\u0163i<\/p>\n
P\u00e2n\u0103 nu l-oi spovedi<\/p>\n
\u015ei de moarte l-oi g\u0103ti!<\/p>\n
Dar turcii se m\u00e2nia<\/p>\n
C\u0103 prea mult \u00eei nec\u0103jea.<\/p>\n
Atunci Novac ce-mi f\u0103cea?<\/p>\n
Pozonarele-\u015fi v\u0103rsa,<\/p>\n
Galbeni pe jos r\u0103sfira.<\/p>\n
Turcii-a str\u00e2nge se-ntrecea,<\/p>\n
Iar Novac se \u00eentorcea<\/p>\n

R\u0103u te b\u0103tu Dumnezeu!<\/p>\n
Gruia noduri \u00eenghi\u0163ea,<\/p>\n
Dar nimica nu zicea,<\/p>\n

Numai cu cotul cotea,<\/p>\n

Apoi sabia tr\u0103gea,<\/p>\n

Nasul o \u0163\u00e2r\u0103-i c\u00e2rnea<\/p>\n
