Zigeuner [English translation]

The starry sky would be my tent

My homeland would be the whole world

Brown-skinned women in multicolored skirts

Never long in the same spot

On a white beach I play flamenco

Or pull my way through the lands with dance clubs

Every night around the campfire

Every day an adventure

A Gypsy would I be

To be a Gypsy, that would be fine

Mysterious wise old women

Smoking and looking into my future

My bride, the one with the big earring

She was just a tinker's child

And she dances wild, just wild in the Pusstawind

A Gypsy I would be

To be a Gypsy, that would be fine

In the other world, I’d be living in the ghetto

Right behind the lower plaza, that would be really great

In the hotels, I hear “get out! Gypsies not allowed in here!”

They mean, Gypsies lie and steal

Shy of work, but quick with a knife

My parents were gassed in the concentration camp

Being a Gypsy was really nice.

But a Gypsy would I be

If I were a Gypsy…
