Oh young bride with a throat [as fine / smooth as] glass, do you want beads, do you want money [gold coins for your throat]? I don't want beads, I don't want money, I want the young man with the cigarette, with the cigarette, with the pistol, and with black dress shoes, dressed like a gentleman. Oh young bride, with eyebrows as slender as a needle, come out and see your young man, oh dear one. |
