Tiritomba [English translation]

In the evening I've come to the seaside

To find a bride for myself,

A graceful blonde with rosy cheeks,

With whom I can live my life in joy.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Walking and walking around,

I feel a desire to whistle.

I'm going nearer and nearer

To see a girl better.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

She was beautiful, more than beautiful,

She was like a star of love.

As if a thorn, as if a thorn

She has stuck into my heart.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

I'm looking at her and she is laughing,

I'm speaking with her and she is answering.

I've already lost myself

In the waves of love.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Suddenly I see, suddenly I see

Her father, an enormous man.

Brandishing a stick,

He wants to beat me.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Rapidly I'm running away

And dodging his blows.

But her beauty , her beauty night and day

Will be always in my heart.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.

Tiritomba, tiritomba,

Tiritomba is sounding in the air.
