Lyrics How The Gypsy Was Born - Inga Rumpf

How The Gypsy Was Born

And God saw that his work was 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 realised!
So he took some earth and put it in a form,
but the oven wasn’t hot enough
and 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 not so pale
he has to get a hotter blow!
So he took some earth and put it in a form,
but the oven was too hot now
and 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 birth.
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,
and the oven was right now so the gipsy was born!
Go to the top of mountain and look,
do you see this land around?
Go where you like to be 'cause you and the gipsy will be free…
