Romani<\/p>\n

Djelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
\nMaladilem baxtale Romensa
\nDjelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
\nMaladilem baxtale Romensa.
\nAy, Romale, Ay, Chavale,
\nAy, Romale, Ay, Chavale.
\nAy Romale, katar tumen aven
\nLe tserensa baxtale dromensa
\nVi-man sas u bari familiya
\nTai mudardya la e kali legiya.
\nAven mansa sa lumiake Roma
\nKai putaile le Romane droma
\nAke vryama – ushti Rom akana
\nAme xutasa mishto kai kerasa.
\nAy, Romale, Ay Chavale,
\nAy, Romale, Ay Chavale. <\/em><\/p>\n

English translations of the lyrics by Ron Lee<\/p>\n

I have travelled over long roads
\nI have met fortunate Roma
\nI have travelled far and wide
\nI have met lucky Roma
\nOh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
\nOh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
\nOh, Roma, from wherever you have come
\nWith your tents along lucky roads
\nI too once had a large family
\nBut the black legion murdered them
\nCome with me, Roma of the world
\nTo where the Romani roads have been opened
\nNow is the time – stand up, Roma,
\nWe shall succeed where we make the effort.
\nOh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
\nOh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth.<\/em><\/p>\n
