ROMANI DŽILIGYPSY SONG
Tunjariko e rjat, angar kalo,
Nekeži’ ma, marel o jilo.
Trajin el Rom sar nisave
Rrevdin e dukh, sa bokhale.
Pitch-black the night, darker than coal.
I sit and think; pain in my soul.
Gypsies suffer, live like no other.
Soon we'll be dead, we even lack bread.
Dzum dzum dzum
Sar macˇarki paš-durial hurjas,
Dzum dzum dzum
Amare levuci Romane bašas.
Dzum, dzum, dzum, dzum
dzum, dzum, dzum
Like seagulls, forever we're straying
Dzum, dzum, dzum, dzum,
dzum, dzum
On our balalaikas we're playing
Cˇi bešav katende, kek manaj te xav,
Saorre cˇhingarel, ’ma man te nekežisarav.
Trajin el Rom sar nisave
Rrevdin e dukh, sa bokhale.
Nowhere to stay, daytime or night,
Others resist, I think of my plight
Gypsies suffer, live like no other.
Soon we'll be dead, we even lack bread.
Dzum dzum dzum
Sar macˇarki paš-durial hurjas,
Dzum dzum dzum
Amare levuci Romane bašas.
Dzum, dzum, dzum, dzum
dzum, dzum, dzum
Like seagulls, forever we're straying
Dzum, dzum, dzum, dzum,
dzum, dzum
On our balalaikas we're playing.
