Translation

Djobi djoba

Ah, baby

I met you

alone on the street

I feel in love (with you)

I feel sad (when I'm) alone

[Chorus :]

Djobi djoba

every day I love you more

Djobi djobi djobi djoba

every day I love you more

Djobi djobi djobi djoba

every day I love you more

(repeat once)

I don't care

about the distance

that separates us

I'm glad I retired

and don't tell me...

Ah, Paraguayan

(chorus x2)

Author's comments:

Djobi, djoba probably doesn't mean anything more than djobi, djoba
It maybe Creole for Look, I saw (found out that every day I love you more)
It maybe Spanish Yo vi, yo va standing for I saw I'm going to (love you more each day)

Djobi Djoba is probably one of them singing to a Paraguayan girl that he mentions in the song. There is bird in Paraguay called Chogy. I is hard to pronounce so it comes out as something sounding like that. Dgobi. Djpba is probably an afterthought a
Gypsy King'ism.

Thank you for your explanation. There's also the fact that "yo" is pronounced "llo"(jo) in some spanish dialects and this is why I think that djobi djoba may actually mean something.
