St George's day - translation
Mike Cox
This is a Yugoslavian gypsy song which was in the soundtrack
of the film ‘Time of the Gypsies (Cannes film winner 1988);
sung to show solidarity with Sans Papiers and romanies. Has been
adopted by Serb nationalists
Spring is landing on my shoulder
With green lillies of the valley
With green lillies of the valley
For everyone but me
Open highways but I cant travel on wards
I cannot see the star Danica
I cannot see the Danica
My travelling companion
I say Hi to the one who has my heart
Scent of lillies of the valley
Scent of lillies of the valley
I’ll never smell them again
Refain:
Dawn is breaking, dawn is breaking
Give thanks for brand new day
Dawn is breaking, dawn is breaking
Ayyy, Heres St Georges day
I’m alone here, without my true love
You can say the name of my true lover
All the year and every week-day
All the year and every week-day
Except the day St George
