Da sam sad na mostuodmah bih se bacilaKad sam mu u ponoćopet leđa videla
Preko dana spava,veran mi jeNoću budan luta,jednostavno takav jeDanju dobar, noću nije
Cigani udritesve mu pare noćas uzmite,neka se zadužikad god me rastuži
Cigani udrite,kožu mu sa leđa skinite,da moli da mu platim dugk'o da sam mu drug.
A ja da mu ne dam,ne dam ni za lekKad je danju čovek,noću nečovek.
If I was on a bridge right nowI would throw myself off it right away,because at midnight I sawhis back again*
He sleeps during the day,and is faithful to me.At night he is awake and wanders,simply because that's the way he is,during the day he is good, at night he is not.
Gypsies*, hit ittake all his money from him tonight,*let him fall into debtevery time he upsets me.
Gypsies*, hit it,take the skin off his back*so that he has to beg me to pay off his debts,as though I am his friend.
And I will not give him (the money),not at all just to spite himbecause he is human during the daybut inhumane at night.
