The same song is performed by Eleni Vitali "The song of the Gypsies" or by Remedios Silva Pisa from Tony Gatlif's Spanish movie Vengo (Naci en Alamo).

Eleni Vitali - "Balamo" ="Song of the Gypsy" (Roma lyrics from Greece and English translation):

Den eho topo, den eho elpida
I don't have a place, I don't have a hope
de tha me hasi, kamia patrida
no homeland will ever lose me
ke me ta heria mou ke tin kardia mou
and with my hands and my heart
ftiahno tsantiria sta onira mou
I make chadir (arabic-gypsy tent) in my dreams

Nas balamos, nas balamos
go away outsider(non gypsy), leave outsider
kai to loumno to afentiko
and the mean boss
nagia domles atze I balamo
does not accept the outsider (non-gypsy = white)

Ke ta ganikia mas otan chorevoun
and when our women dance
ne chastaromata pou se magevoun
with perfums and colours that put a spell on you
kounoune somata kai ta pite tous
they move their bodies and their jewels
mesa se klinoune stis agalies tous
they take their arms around you..
Note: Instead of "Naglia domles atze," Eleni uses different words in this version.
This song is originally sung by Giorgos Katsaris, the music and the lyrics are written by Dionysis Tsaknis.

It's sung also by Tsaknis himself, Eleni Vitali, Dalaras.. Thanos Petrelis and Foteini made a great duet too.

The Spanish cover version "Naci en Alamo" ("I Was Born in Alamo") is included in the soundtrack of Tony Gatlif's movie "Vengo", but it was sung by the gypsy girl Remedios Silva Pisa, not by Yasmin Levy. Levy just made a cover of the cover.

"Balamos" is what gypsies call the the non gypsies, i.e. something like "white man". (Depends on the dialect of course, it could be also "gadje". "Balamo" is non-Roma specifically in Greek Romany. )
"Nais" is "thanks". If I remember right, "adje" is "to stay, to stop".

The song "Nací en Palestina" is based on "Nací en Alamo"
(lyrics by Tony Gatlif, music by Dionisis Tsaknis, Gritos de Guerra, and Tony Gatlif), which was performed by Remedios Silva Pisa for the film Vengo (Dir. Tony Gatlif, 2000).

"Nací en Alamo" has also been performed by Jerusalem-born singer Yasmin Levy, whose father Isaac Levy, an ethnomusicologist from Turkey, had collected 14 volumes of Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino) songs before his death, lovingly preserving the cultural heritage from the times before modern nationalisms and nation-states...

I have no place
I have no country
I have no homeland

With my finger I make fire
and with my heart I sing for you
my heartstrings weep

I was born in Palestine
I was born in Palestine

I have no place
I have no country
I have no homeland

Emel Mathlouthi, born in Tunis,
is a singer-songwriter based in Paris.

Piękna piosenka, utrwalony letni klimat na fotkach oraz fachowy montaż sprawia, że film potrafi wzruszać i cieszyć, a ogladany w mroźny zimowy wieczór, taki jak dzisiaj - wywołać tęsknotę za ciepłem i latem.
