She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
Uma menina, yeah, (yeah) uma cigana (whoa)
I met on marcadão uruguaiana
Uma menina, yeah, (yeah) uma cigana (whoa)
She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
Between the rivers, yeah, (yeah) of tzin and ganka (whoa)
There was a-once bonanza чунга-чанга (whoa)
Between the rivers, yeah, (yeah) of tzin and ganka (whoa)
She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
[??]
The first exodus took me to the Marok (yeah)
But second exodus, it left me on the sidewalk (whoa)
And so I took a knife and then I carved out (yeah)
New lifeline on, new lifeline on,
New lifeline on my palm
She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
[??]
А ну-ка Юра, дай!
She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
She she she she, she she she she
She she she she told me
And so you say (you say) you wanna try (you try)
Oh, and you see (you see) a bird is heading high
As if the birds are free, as if the birds are free
From the sidewalks of the sky
As if the birds are free, as if the birds are free
From the sidewalks of the sky
