Lyrics
Pintó tus ojos
el azabache de una pena.
Gitana buena,
yo vi tus lágrimas de amor.
Caminos blancos,
fueron pañuelo de tu llanto
y acongojaron
tu corazón.

Gitana rusa,
no lo hallarás por las tabernas,
ni en las estepas, ni en las calles del dolor.
Gitana triste,
serás más triste cuando sepas
que tu gitano se arrojó una noche al Don...

Las balalaicas
buscaron música en tus trenzas,
y los cosacos
cantaron a tu soledad.
Tus ojos negros
estaban lejos de la vida
ya no querían
volver a amar.
English translation
Painted your eyes
the jet of a sorrow.
Good gypsy,
I saw your tears of love.
White roads
were the handkerchief of your tears
and grieved
your heart.

Russian gypsy,
you won't find it in the taverns,
nor in the steppes, nor in the streets of sorrow.
Sad gypsy,
you'll be sadder when you know
that your gypsy threw himself one night into the Don...

The balalaicas
looked for music in your braids
and the Cossacks
sang of your loneliness.
Your black eyes
were far from life
no longer wanted
to love again.
