Básně anglických mladých "Romů"
Pomalinku, polehounku navazujeme přátelství i na dálku "Kunčičky - Southampton".

Your proud of who you are
You’re fighting for the gypsy pride
And for that you are a star
So all you gypsy haters
Step back and you will see
There invite you in there trailers
Sit you down and give you tea
And when you’ve been there half an hour
You will start to find
There really just the same as you
Honest true and kind
So proud tobeagypsy
Keep up your gypsy pride
And maybe one day very soon
We can all live side by side

Hurry Home
Wherever you go my gypsy boy your never on your own,
Because my love go’s with you no matter where you roam.
Your gypsy girls here waiting with you in my heart,
And I pray to god to keep you safe wail we are apart.
So think of me my darling boy, setting sad and all alone,
I’m waiting with my empty arms for you to hurry home
Zog (14 years old Roma girl from India)

My father’s a traveler an old gypsy man,
He lives in a trailer he calls his old tan,
He set’s around a yog, till late in the night,
Story’s he’ll rocker to its almost day light.
My mother’s a traveler with old gypsy blood,
her heart filled with gypsy motherly love,
she knows how to cook to scrub and to clean,
and she will bring a good shine, to any old thing.
They live in a trailer that sparkles and shines,
With china around there’s all different kinds,
Crown Darby and Ainslie and lots off cut glass,
Collected by my mum in the years that have past.
They live on a site that’s just out of sight;
there are woods to the left and fields to the right.
My father as a dog it’s an old lurcker juk,
they go get a rabbet for my mother to cook.
On Sunday they have rabbet pudding or stew,
Wash down with tea and one cup won’t do.
Mum makes the best tea we all know that it’s true
that’s why for my father no one else’s will do
My father as a lorry it’s an old transit truck
He takes it to work with his ladders on the back
He looks for a gronta to cut down her trees
If he gets her money then his eager to please
My father and mother are two of the best
Their love for us chivvy’s we don’t have to test
That’s why their chivvy’s all live around
Because no better place could we ever have fond
