Translation

Boy, boy
Sing a pretty song to your girl

Girl, girl
Listen to the pretty song from your boy!

You are my Rokhele (Rochelle)
My luck, my blessing
My little, my pretty girl!

You are my Nekhomele (Nechoma)
My heart, my soul
My little my pretty girl

Because I love you (so much) without limit.
Because something sits and burns in my heart and makes it
go:

"Vyoch, chokh, chokh"

You are my gift
My sun, my moon
My little, my pretty girl
