Notes
Lyrics corrections: La vida do por el raqui no havlo con dinguno Translation: I give my life for raqui (it's a type of alcohol from the Balkans) I cannot give it up I never got bored (tired of) of loving it so much When it is in the barrel I don't talk to anybody But when I get on fire (Kior=C'mo Or ; Kandil=gas lamp) I even fall in the mud This is a song about Raque, raqui or raquia, a type of alcohol still popular in the Balkans and Turkey , and the effects it has on people.
