From the age of fifteen
I began to make love
With a young thief
Who has stolen my heart
My beloved's profession
Was of a thief and a gambler1
So that he may keep the roof above our/my head[s]2
From being taken by the police
He asked for thirty liras
I gave to him thirty one
So that he can put it towards his profession
In [his] profession in winning [money].
1. I don't know what 'kumardji' means exactly, the closest word I could find in Turkish was 'kumarbaz', which means gambler.2. I didn't translate this literally, because it's literal translation would be "The roof, may he keep it for me."
