Sie zogen durch das wilde Kurdistan Zwei Die dem Tod schon oft ins Auge sah'n. Sie ritten Seite an Seite Waren Freunde fürs Leben. Hadschi hieß der kleine Mann Sein Herr war Kara Ben Nemsi. Sein Turban Der war viel zu groß für ihn Sein Pferd sah aus Als könnt' es kaum noch geh'n. Doch wenn er kämpfte Ist allen schnell das Lachen vergangen Denn er war ein Mann Ein Mann Ein Mann Ein Mann. Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ben Ha ha ha Hadschi Abul Abbas Ibn Hadschi Dawuhd Al Gossara Hey Hadschi Ho Hadschi Hadschi Halef Omar ... Und wenn ihr Kopf schon in der Schlinge hing Dann drehte Hadschi schnell ein tolles Ding Und alle lagen am Boden Er stand lachend daneben. Sein Prophet war Mohammed Und Allah hat ihm geholfen. Er schwang den Säbel wie ein Wüstensohn Er ritt dem Teufel und em Wind davon. Die Sehnsucht trieb ihn voran Der großen Freiheit entgegen. Ja Er war ein Mann Ein Mann Ein Mann Ein Mann. Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ben Ha ha ha Hadschi Abul Abbas Ibn Hadschi Dawuhd Al Gossara Durch das Tal des Todes und von Bagdad nach Stambul I'm Sonnenschein Zogen sie dahin Dem Abenteuer auf der Spur Er und sein Freund Durch die kalten Sternennächte und den heißen Sand Sie waren frei Ritten sie und schon von weitem hat man ihn erkannt. Schaut Dort kommt: Hadschi Halef Omar Ben Hadschi Abul Abbas Ibn Hadschi Dawuhd Al Gossarah Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ha ha ha Hadschi Halef Omar Ben Ha ha ha Hadschi Abul Abbas Ibn Hadschi Dawuhd Al Gossara
