Song by Ando Drom. They are part of the vocal tradition of travelling gypsies. Instrumentation is kept to a minimum, and the guitar or mandoline is acompained by everyday objects such as milk cans and spoons.

Ahaj Devla
Ahaj Devla koj odi
Tavel mange bahtaji
Ah roma-dalo…
Muri cini lulugyi
Muri cini lulugyori
Ah roma-dalo…
Ahaj Devla aldinla
Pe kercsima tradela
Ah roma-dalo
Pe kercsima pe bari
Kaj pijen e mol tatyi
Could you post a translation to English? I’m studying Roma culture and sometimes it’s hard to find translations. I’m fascinated with Roma multiple culture, specially the music.
