Djelem Djelem
I traveled, I traveled a long way,
Met many happy Roma
Ahai, you Roma, where do you come from
With the children, with the hungry children
Refrain:
Ahai, Roma, ahai children,
Ahai, Roma, ahai children!
I too had a big family
The Black Legion [the SS] murdered them
They killed everyone, men and women,
Among them were also little children.
Ahai, Roma, ahai children,
Ahai, Roma, ahai children!
Ahai, Roma, ahai children,
Ahai, Roma, ahai children!
