Get up and dance my dear
So I see you and rejoice
Turkish ciftetelli
ninanay, darling, ninanay nay
Opa ninanina nay nina nay nay
ninanay, darling, ninanay nay
Opa ninanina nay nina nay nay
ninanay, darling, ninanay nay
I will sing to you again
the asiatic hava
shake your body a little
ninanay, darling, ninanay nay
Opa ninanina nay..
We only live once
in this false world
we should enjoy a little bit
ninanay, darling, ninanay nay
Opa ninanina nay..

Mom, I love a pilot
Mom, I'll go after the pilot!
He flies above the roof
Receives more than a thousand
Mom, I love a pilot!
Mom, I love a cook
Mom, I'll go for the cook!
The cook makes cutlets
Olives and vinaigrettes
Mom, I love a cook
Mom, I love a doctor
Mom, I'll go for the doctor!
The doctor does abortions
Sends you off to resorts
Mom, I love a doctor!
Mom, I love a petty thief
Mom, I'll go after a swindler!
This crook will steal
And I will sell
Mom, I love a petty thief!

As an exile I wander
in this hostile foreign land
strolling, miserable,
far from my mother's embrace
The birds cry for air,
the trees cry for water
And I cry too, my dear mother, for you
for I haven't seen you in years
Death, take my soul
so I can find peace at last!
Since the black fate wanted me
never to feel joy in my life

Come, come boatsman! Slowly, slowly
By the seashore of the city, in silence
In the oblivion of the harem
Come, come boatsman!
So that I can steal the beautiful lady
A slave in her cell, she cries and moans
And demands her freedom
Come, come boatsman!

Let us reconcile
Why are you standing by the door?
Let us reconcile, come on in, to me
Let us reconcile
Why are you standing by the window?
Let us reconcile, you are the dearest to me
Let us reconcile
Go buy a bitter orange
Let us reconcile, let's go dancing
Let us reconcile,
Put up the samowar
Let us reconcile, don't be such a fool
Let us reconcile
For long enough we've had animosity
Let us reconcile, let's be friends
Let us reconcile
Why are you standing by the door?
Let us reconcile, come on in, to me

The public bath near Niš, hot water,
for the boys there, life is good
I will get her, I will love her,
and in Niš I will leave her
We Roma we are merry and enjoy,
we can't do without rakija
Without rakija, plum brandy,
and without a young Roma girl
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three, two, one
Two, two, two, two, twelve,
I'll kiss her on the face
I will get her, and I will love her,
and in Niš I will leave her

I love a married woman, amane n'amanem,
she is chased after by her husband, a jealous puppet
In Kokkiniá where she lives, amane n'amanem,
as a possesed person, she makes whoever looks at her go crazy
We went for a walk together
she was about to let me die at Pasalimani
Lying on the couch, amane n'amanem,
I kiss her, she tells me it's enough, I get shivers

I will break cups for the words you said
and glasses for the bitter little words
Aman aman, I am burning
Aman aman, I love you
Yesterday late at night I saw in my dream
that your hair was draped around my neck
Aman aman, I am burning
Aman aman, I love you

I can beat someone up
I can take money by force
I can fool people playing thimblerig
Turn pockets inside-out
Oh lemons, you are my lemons
Where do you grow, in my garden
Oh lemons, you are my lemons
Where do you grow, on Sonya's balcony
Noise and ruckus in the bazaar
Rumours are going around
Someone stole a suitcase
And took away the lemons
Oh lemons..
Benya lived on Kostetskaya,
Benya loved his mother
If Benya has a mother
you know there is somewhere to send him back to
Oh lemons..
I spent the night with my aunt
Aunt had guests
I asked my aunt
She said: “Later”
Oh lemons..
