Djelem Djelem Gypsy Roma Anthem Odessa Ukraine, Джелем, джелем

Translation of the Romani Anthem, Djelem, Djelem:
(Romani: language spoken by Roma also known as gypsies)

I have travelled over long roads
I have met fortunate Roma
I have travelled far and wide
I have met lucky Roma
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Roma, from wherever you have come

With your tents along lucky roads
I too once had a large family
But the black legion murdered them
Come with me, Roma of the world
To where the Romani roads have been opened
Now is the time - stand up, Roma,
We shall succeed where we make the effort.
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth.

LOL, this song is a well-known Romanian party song,writtten in 1937 by Romanian composer George Sbarcea, for a Romanian musical in Alhambra Theatre Bucharest. Gypsies did steal a musical song from Romanians and make it 'anthem"? LOL.The composer was a Hitler an Mussolini admirer.Those Gypsies steal music like hillarious fools! LOL

@MrCraiessou Can you document your 3 claims, please, by sending me an email with your facts: 1, that it was written in 1937 by Romanian composer George Sbarcea for a Romanian musical in Alhambra Theater Bucarest, 2, that the composer was a Hitler and Mussolini admirer. I am a Canadian with neither rom nor romanian origins and I will not leave here, in these comments, unsupported claims. If you provide these facts, I will include them here above.

@MrCraiessou Can you document your affirmations please by sending me an email with your facts: your first affirmation that it was written in 1937 by Romanian composer George Sbarcea, for a Romanian musical in Alhambra Theatre Bucharest and your second affirmation that the composer was a Hitler an Mussolini admirer. I am a canadian with neither rom nor romanian origins and I will not leave here, in these comments, unsupported claims. If you provide these facts, I will include them here above.

@MrCraiessou

The facts you present are interesting;however the world unfortunately requires proof - this is how acadamia works! Please be so kind as to put up on Youtube examples (or direct to examples) justifying your declarations.Let it not be said you are victimised - please adequately defend yourself before people decide they have had enough of you.

Best wishes.

Craiessou it's right. This is nothing but a slow-downed part of a well known Romanian song from pre WW2 era called "Ionel, Ionelule".

@Churchillsrevenge Just google the names..You are the victims.The 1971 Congress gave you a fake anthem,fake name,fake history.If you feel comfortable with an 1937 Far Right youngsters hit as an anthem,that's fine with me.A new wailing sound and new lyrics do not change a light music-hall Romanian tune.You can easily delete my comm.but you cannot delete the truth.

[Tziganee]

I think they who decided or made this to be Rom Anthem, did lyrics for Rom ppl and it have great message to all Roma over the world. Beautifful music why fight over it just play it

@bojycs Truth hurts!Jelem jelem is a combination of two stolen tunes.Apart the refrain,the rest is "Ionel,Ionelule"by G.Sbarcea,composed in 1938.Sorry if you are deaf!Cat despre partea in romana se vede clar ce nivel intelectual ai!Insultele de la idioti afoni ca tine ma onoreaza!Tiganii sa inceapa si ei sa compuna melodii originale nu sa fure de unde pot,cum fac si cu manelele.
