La Kapera—Music and lyrics by Flory Jagoda
|
| Il nono mos yama |
Grandfather calls us |
| A las sinko de la manyana |
At five in the morning; |
| Il gayo sta gritando |
The rooster is shrieking, |
| A todos despertando. |
Waking everyone! |
|
|
| Desha me a dormir |
Let me sleep, |
| No me kero alvantar |
I don’t want to get up! |
| Desha me a dormir |
Let me sleep; |
| Il Dio mi va perdonar. |
God will forgive me. |
|
|
| Ermozas ijikas |
Beautiful young girls |
| Fazieron las burikitas |
Made the filled pastries; |
| Todos las stan komiendo |
Everybody is eating them, |
| Il raki ya stan biviendo. |
And drinking slivovitz! |
|
|
| Desha me a dormir… |
Let me sleep… |
