[English]

I corrupt women and I take full responsibility

And I’ve increased their numbers for export to China

I give them two false names, Yaonbuci and Cekurai

Girls with a black belt in Kung-Fu and in scams, in Kung-Fu and in scams

Well, I’ve made it to China, I didn’t believe I’d get here

Romanian girls take them all, because these guys are the smallest

Six or seven go in at a time, you’d think they’re grains of rice

Love based on interest, high up on the Great Wall

My name is Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

I have a couple in Beijing, I want to swing with them

I really want to burn them, to get their PIN for the card

And the bikinis keep popping up, the special forces commit seppuku

Because they can’t find me in the Chinese mafia, in the Chinese mafia

Well, I’ve made it to China, I didn’t believe I’d get here

Romanian girls take them all, because these guys are the smallest

Six or seven go in at a time, you’d think they’re grains of rice

Love based on interest, high up on the Great Wall

My name is Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

Tzomping Tzondes

A Chinese mafia Gypsy

I have the hottest girlfriend

Small eyes and a big ass

...

[Romanian]

Am corupt femeile și-mi asum toată vina

Și le-am mărit procentele pentru export în China

Le pun două nume false, Yaonbuci și Cekurai

Gagici cu centura neagră la Kung-Fu și la parai, la Kung-Fu și la parai

Hai că am ajuns și-n China, nu credeam că ajung aici

Româncele ia cu totul că ăștia sunt cei mai mici

Intră câte șase-șapte, zici că-s boabe de orez

Dragoste pe interes, sus pe zidul chinezesc

Mă numesc Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Am gagica cea mai tare

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Am gagica cea mai tare

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Am gagica cea mai tare

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Am un cuplu la Beijing, cu ei vreau să facem swing

Vreau neapărat să-i ard, să ne dea pinul la card

Iar sar s-arăți bichinii, fac mascații harachiri

Că n-au cum să mă găsească în mafia chinezească, în mafia chinezească

Hai că am ajuns și-n China, nu credeam că ajung aici

Româncele ia cu totul că ăștia sunt cei mai mici

Intră câte șase-șapte, zici că-s boabe de orez

Dragoste pe interes, sus pe zidul chinezesc

Mă numesc Tzomping Tzondes
