I am a gypsy girl with a free heart and mind.
Whoever loves me like a fire will win my heart
if he would only love me then I would give my heart completely
as soon as I see him I start to do an aching dance.
I am a gypsy girl my soul is clean
When his love is bitterly untrue is the revenge
when he looks at another with a glance of his eyes,
I stab a knife and I go for an aching dance.
Oh gypsy girl come and fly away with me.
Oh my gypsy girl I love you alone
you will be my light and shine
grant me love grant me luck
grant me happiness and a glance
Oh gypsy girl come fly away with me!
