Lyrics
from the stockton dance notesAni mori nuse, ani qaf-gastare,
Ani a do ruz-e, ani a do par-e?
As nuk dua ruz-e, as nuk dua par-e,
Por e dua dja-djalin, more me cigare.
Ani a do ruz-e, ani a do par-e?
As nuk dua ruz-e, as nuk dua par-e,
Por e dua dja-djalin, more me cigare.
Ani me cigare, ani me kuti-e,
E me këpucet të zeza, faqe si zotni-e,
Ani more nuse, moj vetull-gjilpan-e,
Ani dil e shih e moj djal-e, moj xhan-e
E me këpucet të zeza, faqe si zotni-e,
Ani more nuse, moj vetull-gjilpan-e,
Ani dil e shih e moj djal-e, moj xhan-e
Translation:
Oh young bride with a throat fine as glass,
Do you want beads, do you want gold coins?
I don’t want beads, I don’t want gold coins,
I want a young man with a cigarette.
Do you want beads, do you want gold coins?
I don’t want beads, I don’t want gold coins,
I want a young man with a cigarette.
With a cigarette, with a cigarette-box,
And with black dress shoes, like a gentleman
Oh bride with brows slender as needles,
Come see your young man, oh dear
And with black dress shoes, like a gentleman
Oh bride with brows slender as needles,
Come see your young man, oh dear
