Sa o Roma babo, e bakren chinen
A me crorro, dural vesava
Amaro daje, amaro dive
Amaro dive, Ederlezi
Ediwado babo, amenge bakro
Sa o Roma babo, e bakren chinen
Sa o Roma babo babo
Sa o Roma o daje
Sa o Roma babo babo
Ederlezi, Ederlezi
Sa o Roma daje

Translated from Romani:
All the Roma dad, sacrify sheep
But me, poor drummer, I must stay away
Oh yes, mummy, it is our celebration
It is our celebration, Ederlezi
A sheep for us , a sheep for us
All the Roma dad, sacrifice sheep
All the Roma dad, dad
All the Roma oh mummy
All the Roma dad, dad
Ederlezi, Ederlezi
All the Roma mummy
