Original lyrics
Primavera en Salonico, halli al cafe Maslum, una nina de ojos pretos que canta y sona ud. No me manques, tu Fortuna, del cafe de Avram Maslum. Tu quitas los muestros dertes, que cantas y sonas ud. El ud tomas en la mano con gilves y con sacas. Los tus ojos relucientes a mi me hacen quemar.
Translated lyrics
In spring in Salonica, I found at Mazloum's cafe a dark-eyed lass singing an playing the ud. Don't go away from me, oh Fortuna, from Abraham Mazlum's cafe. You take away our sorrows when you sing and play the ud. You hold the ud in your hand with such airs and grace. Your eyes so bright set me on fire.
