Yes, yes, my young ones... you don't know that we used to be birds.
Listen to this old gypsy.
Before, all gypsies had wings.
We flew, like all birds.
We ate the same food as birds.
In autumn, when it got colder and the frosts came
we would go on a long journey.
Yes, Roma, we used to be birds.
To this day we'd fly about as free birds...
if this story hadn't happened.
WE USED TO BE BIRDS Based on a Gypsy parable
