Translation

I lost my money, and it was not my fault

I lost my money, and what shall I do

I lost my money about what my legitimate beloved
I lost my money, and what shall I do
The doctor came to treat me

He came and what shall I do

The girl is white, white, white
The girl is white, but I do not have enough dowry money
O my son, my son, I have fallen in love
And with the fire of love have been cauterized.
