Original lyrics
En la mar hay una torre en la torre una ventana en la ventana una hija ke a los marineros yama. Dame la mano, paloma, para subir a tu nido! Maldicha ke duermes sola, vengo a durmir kontigo! Si la mar era de leche yo m'haria un peskador pescaria las mis dolores, kon palabrikas d'amor. Si la mar era de leche yo m'haria vendedor caminando y preguntando, donde s'emesa l'amor. No me yeves por los boskes a las kuartro de la noche a la luz de la farola todo el mundo nos Konose. Esta mala i esta loka kere ke la kiera yo ke la kiera su marido ke tiene la obligacion. *Ortografya de "Aki Yerushalayim"
Translated lyrics
In the sea there is a tower, In the tower, a window, By the window, a young lady That calls to the sailors. Give me your hand, dove, To climb up to your nest! It is a curse that you sleep alone, I am coming to sleep with you! If the sea were made of milk, I would become a fisherman, I would fish for my pains, with little words of love. If the sea were made of milk, I would become a salesman, Walking and asking, Where does love begin.
