Lyrics Yasmin Levi - Una Ora

Una ora en la ventana
Ora i media al balkon
La kulevra de tu ermana
Ah, no mos desha, Ah! no mos desha
Azer el amor

Yo la kero, tu la keres
Ya mos vamos a matar
Ven djugaremos a los dados
El ke la gana, el ke la gana
Su mazal

Ke komio la tu mama
En preniada de ti
Te kito morena i dulse
Amasada
Amasada kon la miel

Ah! No t'alaves ke sos blanka
Blanka komo el yasmin
Ke ay morenikas en el mundo
Ke kemaron, ke kemaron
Medio Izmir

A la mar yo me vo echar
Un peshkado yo vo panar
Siete novias vo kitar
Ah! Yo a ti, yo a ti
Me vo tomar

--English
One long hour waiting at your window
Ah hour and a half on your balcony
Your sister, the snake, won't let us
Ah! She won't let us make love

I love her and you love her
We're going to kill each other
Let's play dice
Whoever wins her, whoever wins her
Is the lucky one

What did your mother eat
When she was carrying you
She brought you forth dark and sweet
Moulded with honey

Don't boast because you are fair skinned
As white as jasmine blossom
There are many dark skinned girls
Who have set half of Izmir alight

I'm going to throw myself into the sea
I'll catch a fish
I'll leave seven brides
Ah, it is you, it is you
Whom I'm going to take
