Hi All

Does anyone have or know where I can get the original possibly Croatian or Sinti ??? lyrics to this song.

    Hi, these are the lyrics as sung by Schnuckenack Reinhardt in romanes:


    O Letschto Kurko

    O letschto gurko his
    kaj me givam a tuke
    kaj me Baschram a tuke
    O letschto molo

    O letschto gurko his
    kaj me givam a tuke
    kaj me baschram a tuke
    i letschti rat

    kana vela ku ziro
    kaj dschas menge vri fun ku tem
    mit maro vago, maro graj
    avar tu hal nit kaj

    O graj chas mur love
    O graj chas mur sonnekaj
    maro bravlepen
    i maro vago, maro graj
    avar tu hal nit kaj

    Kana vela…


    Best,
    Barengero

    Would making up a parody translation of these lyrics be offensive to any Sintis or Croats who may be lurking out there?

    Cause right now I'm in bed too sick to play my guitar.... but somehow feeling just well enough to make up parody lyrics...
    Paul Cezanne: "I could paint for a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing."

    Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."

    Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."

    AS you wish ... I have to learn them in the original .... one of two songs where I am supposed to sing ... the other being J'Attendrai which is fine cuz my French ain't terrible ... I just speak it like a slow 6 year old

    I find it easier to learn when I have some idea of what they are saying even if I don't have a clue of the meaning. the feelings come through loud and clear .... I think I am a good at parrot :shock: or mimic perhaps. :lol:

    Hope your better soon

    "O Uncle Letschto!"

    O Letschto, prince among uncles
    Don't give me a toque
    No, not a toque for Christmas do I ask
    Most beloved Uncle Letschto

    But you know that little grey goat
    The one that chewed up grandma's best brassiere?
    I think her name is either Maro Vago or Maro Graj?
    Anyway, you know precisely the one I mean...

    That little grey goat we've both loved so well:
    Can I alone borrow her, just for Christmas Eve?
    How sweetly she sings when mounted from behind
    It's almost as if she calls my name to the stars!

    I won't keep her, for I know she is your sweet prize
    But just one night only do I ask!
    Most beloved Uncle Letschto---
    Just one night only do I ask!

    (repeat and fade)

    Most beloved Uncle Letschto---
    Just one night only do I ask!

    OK, Uncle Letcho, I just posted a looooooong detailed explanation of how to slow down Django for Mac users.

    You'll find it way down in the "Recording" section.

    May the farts be with you.
