I travelled, I travelled
I travelled and travelled far and wide
I met happy Gypsies
I travelled and travelled far and wide
I met lucky Gypsies
Oh, Gypsies, Oh guys
Oh, Gypsies, Oh guys
Oh, Gypsies, from wherever you came from
With your tents along lucky roads
I once had a large family too
But the black legion murdered them
Come with me, Gypsies of the world
For the Gypsies, roads have been opened
Now is the time – arise, Gypsies
We will go far if we act!
Oh, Gypsies, Oh, guys
Oh, Gypsies, Oh, guys
