Se voaras mais ao perto [English translation]

If you flew closer,

You'd be perched in another window pane;

With your serrated beak,

You'd bring another one under your wing!

Eeo-ree-oh! Eeo-ree-oh...

The first day of weeding is far;

It's not the time for weeding...

Oh Gypsy! Oh, young Gypsy girl!

What name should I give you?

Eeo-ree-oh! Eeo-ree-oh...

A swallow with black wings

Is shouting in loud screams:

Come to my window,

Lift all these worries from me!

Eeo-ree-oh! Eeo-ree-oh...

[Instrumental]

If I flew like her,

Your good luck would be all mine.

Tell me then, oh young Gypsy girl!

What does the swallow want with us?

Eeo-ree-oh! Eeo-ree-oh...

What does the swallow want with us?

I would really like to know!

The world is a big ball of fire,

But not everyone stays to burn out!

Eeo-ree-oh! Eeo-ree-oh...
