De edad de kinze anyosEmpesi azer l'amorKon un mansevo briganteKe me pudo arrevatar
El ofisio de mi keridoEs ladrón i kumardjiEl Tavan ke me lo guadreDe la mano de pulis
Trenta liras me demandaTrent i una le vo darKe las meta en ofisioEn ofisio de ganar
From the age of fifteenI began to make loveWith a young thiefWho has stolen my heart
My beloved's professionWas of a thief and a gambler1So that he may keep the roof above our/my head[s]2From being taken by the police
He asked for thirty lirasI gave to him thirty oneSo that he can put it towards his professionIn [his] profession in winning [money].
