Gadjo avav de doural
Me sim chav katar e balval
Gadjo phirdem but tema
Areslem ji tute akana

Gadjo bachavav mouzica
Aye *****inav tchiriklia
Chaj penav sa so avela te rava
Me sim drabarno prala

Jav sar o touv e balval espidel man
Jav kay kamav ay tem roma nay man
Sim saro pay machkara le naya kana kelj
Kay konik tchi achavel

Gadjo tchiriklen tsa dav douma
Avi djilabav pel droma
Chinado sas te maladouvas
Gadjo drougaria te avas

Gitano gadjo manouche sinto romale
Kalo vay parno sa yiek fialo
Kasam savoure pe loumia
Gadjo taves bartalo

[Spring]

hm.. a silly question - which language is this?

[Adrienne]

Lol I wanted to ask the same question

[Lucky Oceans]

That's funny. I don't know what language it's in.

It's a song by the French group 'Bratsch' from their CD 'Plein du Monde.'

Romany?

thanks,

Lucky

[Spring]

I thought it might be but.. didn't want to wild guess
And, you are probably right since I've found that the band "uses influences from Roma (Gypsy) music"

So, we are moving this to Lyrics Translations forum (which is for languages that don't have separate forums), hoping that someone will be able to translate.
