Weich gewiegt vom schwanken Kahne, Von der schönsten aller Nächte, Gab ich ihm im Liebeswahne, Dass des Kosens er gedächte, Meine Spange von Türkisen Und jetzt trägt sie der Tschingane Schmale kupferbraune Rechte! Stolz! mein Stolz! Den Weg dir bahne, Wenn die Wilde, wenn die Schlechte Unter'm Zelt mit rother Fahne Tanzend lockt die bösen Mächte, Mit der Spange von Türkisen [-- -- -- (Meiner Spange, du Tschingane!) -- Um die kupferbraune Rechte!]1

Gently rocked by the swaying barque, By the loveliest of all nights, In the delusion of love, in order that he might Remember my caresses, I gave him My bracelet of turquoise And now it is being worn upon The slender copper-brown right wrist of the gypsy! Pride! my pride! Break a path for yourself, When the wild one, when the evil one Under the tent with the red flag Lures the evil powers with her dancing, With the bracelet of turquoise [-- -- -- (My bracelet, you gypsy!) -- Encircling her copper-brown right wrist!]1
