Latcho Drom (1993)
From North-West of India, nearly 1000 years ago for still unknown reasons,
the gipsies furrowed the roads of Europe, of Egypt, of North Africa. During this long trip out of the borders of India, the gipsy terms, halab, Tzigane, gipsy, gypsum were given to the ROMANIAN people. In the desert, the carriage advances slowly. It takes me along towards my family. To cover my feet of sheets of tree The bride is beautiful I have washed the dishes I have done my bed only without you? It has only you there Oh my eyes I cry. Dora Gilded, I see your face Your image Come to see the moon Come to see the moon! It is not expensive! Here, time to live returned. To live in freedom. There in Timisoara people go down in the street They shoot at people. the mountain is green the forest too. the chance from goes away. You want that I play the music for three parts? the life is so far And death if meadows. God has us condemned with the wandering. We left very far. We fled from misery and hatred. We leave towards Germany Towards Germany We leave. like other Gipsies, we are like that, wandering. Our manner of living, nobody will change it. it is to you a stork Of Isabelle the Catholic We were victims Some evenings like many other evenings I find myself envying the respect you give your dog. |
