Translation
Gypsies
If I was on a bridge right now
I would throw myself off it right away,
because at midnight I saw
his back again*
He sleeps during the day,
and is faithful to me.
At night he is awake and wanders,
simply because that's the way he is,
during the day he is good, at night he is not.
Gypsies*, hit it
take all his money from him tonight,*
let him fall into debt
every time he upsets me.
Gypsies*, hit it,
take the skin off his back*
so that he has to beg me to pay off his debts,
as though I am his friend.
And I will not give him (the money),
not at all just to spite him
because he is human during the day
but inhumane at night.
