Dzelem Dzelem is akin to a national anthem for many Romanes in the former Yugoslavia.
Performed by Muzo Bizlim
Dzelem Dzelem- English
I went, I went
I went, I went, far away on a long road
And I met happy Roma
Ah Roma, where did you come from
With your children, happy Roma
Ah! Roma
Ah! Roma
I had a big family too
But the black legionnaires killed them
Ah! Roma
Ah! Roma
Open dear lord your black gates
So that I can see where my people are
Their black faces and black eyes I love them like two black grapes
Ah! Roma
Ah! Roma
O lord! I know that there is more time
Stand up Roma
Again I will go far away a long road
And I will walk with happy Roma
Ah! Roma
Ah! Roma
