MAURICE YVAIN <strong>at</strong> his home in 1951<br />
VI. La Zingarella<br />
La voici, la fille au teint bruni, La voici,<br />
Celle en qui b<strong>at</strong> le sang des sombres<br />
Romanis, La voici !<br />
Mon pays, c’est le ciel infini, mon logis,<br />
Une roulotte où le vent chante un chant d’oubli,<br />
Sans répit, jour et nuit…<br />
Zingarella<br />
Here she is, the girl with the tanned<br />
complexion, here she is,<br />
the girl whose veins throb with Romani<br />
blood, here she is!<br />
My country is the infinite sky, my home<br />
a caravan through which the wind intones<br />
forgotten songs<br />
without respite, day and night…<br />
