Original Slovak Lyrics	Translation Into English
Mamko moja, ja už še vám vydam, bo me pyta spoza hury Cigan. Refrén: A či ja ce na to vychovala, že by ja ce za Cigana dala. Mamko moja, Cigan še mi páči, bo ma šumné kučeravé vlasy. Refrén (2x): A či ja ce na to vychovala, že by ja ce za Cigana dala. Mamko moja, Cigan še mi ľúbi, bo ma šumné biľučičké zuby. Refrén (2x): A či ja ce na to vychovala, že by ja ce za Cigana dala.	Oh, Mother, I'm getting married, A wandering Romani made the proposal. Chorus: But did I raise you to that? Should I give you for a Romani? Oh, Mother, for this Romani has amazed me, He has beautiful curly hair. Chorus (2x): But did I raise you to that? Should I give you for a Romani? Oh, Mother, this Romani has delighted me, He has such beautiful white teeth. Chorus (2x): But did I raise you to that? Should I give you for a Romani?
