    Djelem, Djelem [Romani] song lyrics

    Gelem Gelem lungone dromenca, Kaj si gugle sar duj kale drakha.
    Maladilem chorore romenca. Ooo, romalen,
    Gelem Gelem lungone dromenca, Ooo, chavralen.
    Maladilem baxtale romenca. Kindem lake lolo dikhlo tursko,
    Ooo, romalen, Ni volil man achel latar pusto.
    Ooo, chavralen. Kindem lake lolo dikhlo tursko,
    Ala voliv lake kale jakha, Ni volil man achel latar pusto.
    Kaj si gugle sar duj kale drakha. Ooo, romalen,
    Ala voliv lake kale jakha, Ooo, chavralen.

    Translation by Ron Lee

    I have travelled over long roads But the black legion murdered them
    I have met fortunate Roma Come with me, Roma of the world
    I have travelled far and wide To where the Romani roads have been
    I have met lucky Roma opened
    Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth Now is the time - stand up, Roma,
    Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth We shall succeed where we make the
    Oh, Roma, from wherever you have come effort.
    With your tents along lucky roads Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
    Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
    I too once had a large family
