Дълго съм се блъскал над текста на тази песен. Просто ужасно много ми харесва, пък и този цигански мотив допринася за романтичното усещане. Руско-украинско-хамериканско-емигрантска, пънк-джипси-романтика!!!

Певицата се казва Andra Ursuta, от румънско-ромски произход, и освен като вокал и танцьорка в Gogol Bordello (тя е едната от двете яки каки) е известна също като художник и скулптор в Ню Йорк.

Gogol Bordello – Madagascar-Roumania
(Tu Jésty Fáta)

So now you tell me we’re living in a country
Where joys and freedoms they can not be tried
But alone in your mind there are so many rooms
That you never seem to find

There is a room where your toolbox is waiting
But you just never go when you are awake
When most of the time whatever that you look for
You could have just sit down and make

So do ‘the right thing’
Just do ‘the right thing’
How can you do it while you are awake?
Instead I scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp

Cause even in Madagascar
We’ll find some shack below radar
Put two turntables and a film projector in that room
And punk rock ‘n’ roll most faithfully
It will occure-cure-cure-cure-cure-cure
It will occure-cure-cure-cure
Tica tica tica galiga…
(this is a Romanian lullaby song)

Instead you run to your little bird-feeder
And stick your beak in the seeds your masters laid
Where did they came from? Who put them in there?
Oh, you will never know their name

There is a room where bustle merry
And big ceremony could be going on
Where your true talents along with birthrights
Could be dancing can-can

So do ‘the right thing’
Just do ‘the right thing’
How can you do it if you are awake?
Instead I scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp

Cause even in Madagascar
We’ll find some shack below radar
And even in Antarctica,
And even in Azerbaijan
Put two turntables and a film projector in that room
And punk rock ‘n’ roll most faithfully
It will occure-cure-cure-cure-cure-cure
It will occure…
(…and sewing machine, too!)

Tu ești fată care n-are,
You are the girl who hasn’t got,
n-are, n-are, suflet n-are
hasn’t got, hasn’t got, hasn’t got a soul,
n-are, n-are, suflet n-are…
hasn’t got, hasn’t got, hasn’t got a soul…

Haide, fată, tu afară
Come on, girl, go outside
să te vadă toți țiganii,
so that all the Gypsies can see you,
haide, fată, tu afară…
Come on, girl, go outside…

Hai, Doamne, ce-i cu fire,
Oh, my God, what’s happening,
nu-ți găsești ce e cu mine?
Couldn’t you find out what’s wrong with me?
Hai, oi, Doamne, ce-i cu fire? (x2)
Oh, my God, what’s happening?

Tu ești fată, fată bună,
You are a girl, a good girl,
care cu mi’ nu se joacă,
who doesn’t play with me,
care cu mi’ nu se joacă…
who doesn’t play with me…

Haide, fată, tu afară
Come on, girl, go outside
să te vadă toți țiganii,
so that all the Gypsies can see you,
haide, fată, tu afară…
Come on, girl, go outside…

Hai, Doamne, ce-i cu fire,
Oh, my God, what’s happening,
nu-ți găsești ce e cu mine?
Couldn’t you find out what’s wrong with me?
Hai, oi, Doamne, ce-i cu fire? (x2)
Oh, my God, what’s happening?

То ли ведьмы, то ли цыгане,
А мы ни хуя не знаем,
Ай, ой, ни хуя не знаем!
