De edad de kinze anyos [English translation]

From the age of fifteen

I began to make love

With a young thief

Who has stolen my heart

My beloved's profession

Was of a thief and a gambler1

So that he may keep the roof above our/my head[s]2

From being taken by the police

He asked for thirty liras

I gave to him thirty one

So that he can put it towards his profession

In [his] profession in winning [money].

1. I don't know what 'kumardji' means exactly, the closest word I could find in Turkish was 'kumarbaz', which means gambler.2. I didn't translate this literally, because it's literal translation would be "The roof, may he keep it for me."
