LASS MARO TSCHATSCHEPEN (Let us ask for our rights)

Music: Haenssche Weiss Chorus: Trad.

Lyrics: Haenssche Weiss (Translation by Bertino)

Dear people of Sintis, listen to what we have to say.

You know, you all know -
how the Nazi period was,
if we do not want to repeat that
a time when our people have been prosecuted
then let us stick together
thats the only way to get to our rights.

The musicians among Gypsies

travel around everywhere,
they hear from their own tribal people
how it is even still today that
they dont find places where to stay
during the summer on the outward journey
only where its absolutely inhuman, in dirt and junk
then they´re allowed to spend the winter there to stay

We know a lot of Gypsies here in Germany

that have grown old this year
but the Gadjo (non-Gypsies) should explain us
why they can´t obtain their passports
its cause cause the gadjo doesn´t respect us,
this we have to defeat and fight against
we should not take this no longer
have they already forgotten what they have done to us?
Thats their Justice!

We have to find a way for us,

we have to find a way for us

so, let us ask for our rights

we beg you our own tribal people,

let us not remaining to be passive the old way...
