Anthem: Gelem, gelem

Anthem lyrics:

Gelem, gelem

I have travelled over long roads
I have met fortunate Roma
I have travelled far and wide
I have met lucky Roma

Gypsy musicOh, 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
