Drunken Gypsies Words and Translation by Arash Sobhani
One man says it’s too late One man is tired The distances are too great The roads are all blocked One man says it’s too early One man says, not now! The light hearted gypsies Are drunk from the smell of the road
Behind the seas, behind every mountain Behind these borders of sorrow and separation Every stranger, is a new friend And with friends, life is so simple
One man stayed and he didn’t go Closed his eyes so he couldn’t see Shut his ears so He wouldn’t hear the song of hope
Another man made a bridge Like a rainbow Colored the sky And reached for tomorrow
Behind the seas, behind every mountain Behind these arbitrary man made borders of sorrow Every stranger, is a new friend And with friends, life is so simple
The world is full of “Parts Unknown” to fly to Unheard stories, unsung melodies The light hearted gypsies, are drunk in the road They are dancing and singing and blocking the sorrow
