Ani more nuse

Ani more nuse

Ani more nuse, ani qaf gastare

ani a don lukse, ani a don pare

As spo due lukse, as spo due pare

Vec e due burin, bace me cigare

Ani me cigare, ani me gudije

o me tesha t'zeza, veshun si zotnije

Oh young bride

Oh young bride with a throat like glass,(1)

Do you want beads, do you want money?(2)

I don't want beads, I don't want money,

I want a young man(?) with a cigarette,

With a cigarette, with a cigarette-box,

And with black dress shoes, looking like a gentleman.

(1) as fine or as smooth as glass (2) gold coins such as those worn around the neck
