Gypsy Songs


Gypsy Caravan

By Pebyr ap Cucorin (David Sequin)
I whiled away all the years of my youth Tending my fields searching for the truth Gazing past horizons to the west Hoping I'd see them before my death. Then one day they rumbled by A gypsy caravan the color of the sky Water sparkled as the wheels turned round Across the river into the town. Chorus: There's a gypsy caravan, Rolling across the land, They got singers and a dancing girl That can make you dream about the wide wide world. And their captain was a handsome man He had a sword and what looked like a plan But there was something wrong in his eyes Bloodshot and bleary from too many nights So we stayed up late in that inn Drinking over our secret sins Each one wanting what the other one had We both said the "You're the lucky man." Chorus Late the morning we agreed to trade Each other's lives for a later date Twenty years later again we'd meet And see if we'd both really found our dreams So I finally got to see the world And found for myself a blue eyed girl We raised three kids in the back of that tent Rolling through the night they were heaven sent Chorus Twenty years later again I returned Only to find out what the we both had learned He had three kids and a wife of his own And those green fields had turned into his home We agreed to go our separate ways And I'll not see him til my dying day The man who gave my dreams to me Where I found a love for eternity Chorus (Fini.)

Gypsy Soul

By Dallé de Sallé (Brandon Carpenter)
I see rivers and mountains, I see valleys and meadows, I see all the land about you, For I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul and love no one, that's why it is easy for me to roam. I hear the stories and tales, I hear the songs and music, I hear the joys of mankind, For I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul and love no one, that's why it is easy for me to roam. I see the war and peace, I see the death and birth, I see all the bloodshed, For I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul and love no one, that's why it is easy for me to roam. I feel the stares and jeers, I feel the envy and fear, I feel the spite against me, For I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul, I have a gypsy soul and love no one, that's why it is easy for me to roam.
