Lyrics
How The Gypsy Was Born
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And God saw that his work war nearly done
a green, mighty planet circled round the sun.
Silver fishes increased in the blue seas
all kinds of feathered built their nests in the trees.
And God saw that everything was nice but there
had to be a creature who looked like me and you - so he has realised!
So he took some earth and put it in a form
but the oven wasn't hot enough - so the white man was born!
Walk on, walk on, you can live in the cold zone of the world
'cause you are used to it, since your birth.
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
but one who's no so pale - he has to get a hotter blow!
So he took some earth and put it in a form
bu the oven was too hot now - so the black man was born!
Walk on, walk on you can live in the hot zone of the world
'cause you are used to it, since your bith.
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
but one who's not so dark - he has to get a special blow!
So he took some earth and put it in a form
an the oven as right now - so the gipsy was born!
Go to the top of the mountain and look, do you see this land around?
Go where you like to be 'cause you and the gipssy will be free...
