‘Gypsy Girl’ (Giorgos Batis)
Gypsy girl in the hammam
I’m payin’ for all in cash
So that you enjoy your bath
so I don’t drop dead and pass
tsibi ribi, yallah
When you put on your scarf
flower behind your ear
cigarette in your hand
cruising the street bars
Blessed be your beauty
your dress hanging long
your heels rising high
as you walk the earth shakes along
My gypsy girl so sweet
my heart lies underneath your feet
you made me lose my mind
'cause I love you my light
Blessed be your beauty
your pinafore of gold
you walk around barefoot
beloved gypsy girl
I can’t quite figure out
if you’re Turkish or Greek
if you’re English or French
your beauty's so unique
When you wear your fez
its bobble made of gold
the whole sky shakes and falls
with the stars falling along
