De edad de kinzay anyoz, Empesi azer l'amor Con un mancevico brigante Ke
me pudo arrevatar.

El oficio de mi kerido Es ladron i kumardjí. El tavan ke me lo guadre
De la mano del police!

Trenta liras me demanda, Trenta i una le vo dar; Ke las meta en oficio,
En oficio de ganar.

From the age of fifteen I began to have an affair With a young rascal Who
had swept me off my feet.

The profession of my lover - A thief and a scoundrel. May heaven protect
him for me From the hands of the police!

He asks me for thirty liras, I will give him thirty one; May he invest them
A humorous song in the maqam kürdi, with rich melismatic ornamentation.
