Muri cinyi lulugyori,
lulugyengi sukár ráji.
Ustyi opre, seje, haj,
Hulávtut taj urávtut,
Hulávtut taj lasártut,
Aven mange le rom, mangen tut!
Aj, Dévlale, jaldinla,
Pé kercsima tradela,
Pé kercsima, pe bari,
Kaj pijen e mol tatyi.
Song by Kalyi Jag from the album Gypsy folk songs from Hungary.
Shukar sas amari bori
sar e phabaj le milajski
Cirdel opre lel papuchi
thaj putrel avri le kerchimi
Le kerchima sas e bari
kothe pijen e mol tatyi
Adig na avla amari bori
mig na anel amenge paji
Shukar sas amari bori
sar e phabaj le milajski
Cirdel opre lel papuchi
thaj putrel avri le kerchimi
Le kerchima sas e bari
kothe pijen e mol tatyi
Adig na avla amari bori
mig na anel amenge paji

Song by Kalyi jag
E Shukar Shej
Avtar manca lulugyori
Uravavtut ando phanri
E lulugyi loli si
Adi sej de shukar si (x2)
Muri cini lulugyori
Lulugyenge shukhar raji
Lako muj sar shunut si
Lake jakha cserhaj si (x2)
Song by Kalyi Jag (witch means Black Fire in romany). “More than three decades ago Mr. Gusztáv Varga had a dream: to write and sing songs first time in Europe in his mother tongue, in Romany. He set up a music band, and named it Kalyi Jag”. They became one of the most acknowledged representatives of the original gypsy music culture from Hungary.
Ketri Ketri
Jaj Ketri Ketri ale pala mande,

Av tu pale, bes tu tele,

Kaszavi szan, szar e lulugyorri,

Translation
Ketri Ketri, come after me,
Ketri Ketri, live with me,
Come back, sit down here,
Come after me!
You are like a little flower,
Beautiful little flower,
My heart is happy, happy,
Be with me!
Ketri Ketri, my heart is heavy,
Ketri Ketri, my heart is breaking,
I will kiss your heart,
Come and sit beside me!
Ketri Ketri, dance for me,
Ketri Ketri, sing now for me,
Do sing and dance for me,
Come after me!
Ketri Ketri, I am already merry,
My heart is also merrier,
Because I can see you beside me,
Marry me, be my wife!
When you dance, my heart is happy,
When you sing, my heart breaks,
Come back to me,
Marry me, be my wife!

Marry me, be my wife!
