ROMANI ATHEM TRANSLATED ROMANES INTO ENGLISH

Gelem, Gelem: The Athem song Romanes      

                                            

Gelem, gelem, lungone dromensa 

Maladilem bahktale Rromensa 

A Romale katar tumen aven,
 
E tsarensa bahktale dromensa?

A Rromale, A Chavale                                  

Vi man sas ek bari familiya, 

Murdadas la e kali legiya

Aven mansa sa lumniake Rroma,
 
Kai putaile e romane droma 

Ake vriama, usti Rrom akana,
 
Men khutasa misto kai kerasa

A Rromale, A Chavale

English                                            


I went, I went on long roads
r
I met happy Roma 

O Roma where do you come from, 

With tents on happy roads?
O Roma, O fellow Rroma

I once had a great family, 
The Black Legions* murdered them 
Come with me Rroma from all the world 
For the Rromani roads have opened 
Now is the time, rise up Rroma now, 
We will rise high if we act 
O Rroma, O fellow Rroma
