Translated lyrics
The beautiful girl with black eyes walked in the street...her face shined like the moon and lighted all the boulevard. I wanted to speak with her...but she insuted me because her father was in the station...nswering to my greeting she beat me with her umbrella. Why did you hit me..my love? You know that I love you so much..If you want to show me your love we haven't any other way to meet us! I'll wait for you all the night till the sunrise..and the same the day after..till our love will triumph!
