Τομπουρλίκα νύχτα κι ώρα μία
σ’ αυτήν την ησυχία έρχομαι να σου πω
αν κοιμάσαι εγώ θα σε ξυπνήσω
γλυκά θα σου σφυρίξω τον πιο όμορφο σκοπό
Σου σφυρίζω γλυκά σαν τ’ αηδονάκι
με πόνο και μεράκι αχ μέσα απ’ την καρδιά
σου σφυρίζω γλυκιά μου Τομπουρλίκα
σαν τη δική σου γλύκα δεν έχει άλλη καμιά
Τομπουρλίκα τα μαύρα σου τα μάτια
πενήντα δυο κομμάτια μου κάναν την καρδιά
μέρα νύχτα στην πόρτα σου γυρίζω
αχ πες μου να ελπίζω κουκλίτσα μου γλυκιά
Σου σφυρίζω γλυκά σαν τ’ αηδονάκι
με πόνο και μεράκι αχ μέσα απ’ την καρδιά
σου σφυρίζω γλυκιά μου Τομπουρλίκα
σαν τη δική σου γλύκα δεν έχει άλλη καμιά
Σου σφυρίζω γλυκιά μου Τομπουρλίκα
σαν τη δική σου γλύκα δεν έχει άλλη καμιά

Curvy lady, in the night at one o’clock
In this quiet time, I am coming to tell you
If you sleep, I will wake you
Sweetly I will whistle you the most beautiful melody
I whistle for you sweetly like a little nightingale
With pain and passion from within the heart
I whistle for you, my sweet curvy lady
There is no sweetness like yours
Curvy lady, your black eyes
Made my heart in fifty-two pieces
Night and day I hang around your door
Oh, give me some hope, my sweet little doll
I whistle for you sweetly like a little nightingale
With pain and passion from within the heart
I whistle for you, my sweet curvy lady
There is no sweetness like yours
I whistle for you, my sweet curvy lady
There is no sweetness like yours
