| Čigānzēnam dzīve dēku pilna, skaista
| For a gypsy boy, life is full of adventures, beautiful
|
| Mūžam ceļa jūtīs nav kas viņu saista
| Forever, the feelings of the road have nothing to do with him
|
| Pabrauc brīdi, atkal kaut kur jāapstājas
| Drive for a moment, stop somewhere again
|
| Plašā pasaulē tam liekas visur mājas
| In the wider world, it feels like home everywhere
|
| Uzticīgs tas nevar būt nevienai meičai
| It cannot be faithful to any girl
|
| Varbūt rītu būs tā viņam atkal jāatstāj
| Maybe he'll have to leave it again in the morning
|
| Nu bet katru reizi, lai nu šā vai tā
| Well but every time, either this or that
|
| Tai ko mīl, tas savu sirdi uzdāvā
| He gives his heart to what he loves
|
| Tā kā gabalu no sevis, tā viņš meičai skūpstu devis
| As a piece of himself, he gave the girl a kiss
|
| Bet nu brīdī burvīgā tas atkal projām brauc
| But now, in a charming moment, it is moving away again
|
| Palika no mīlas kvēlas tikai atmiņas vien žēlas
| All that remained of love was only memories of pity
|
| Tagad čigānzēns jau citai pakaļ trauc
| Now the gypsy boy is bothering another
|
| Lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lā
| To - to - to - to - to - to - let
|
| Lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lā
| To - to - to - to - to - to - let
|
| Ka čigāni ir tālumā
| That the gypsies are in the distance
|
| Lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lā
| To - to - to - to - to - to - let
|
| Lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lai — lā
| To - to - to - to - to - to - let
|
| Ka čigāni ir tuvumā
| That gypsies are nearby
|
| Katru dienu jaunas dēkas iet un atnāk
| Every day new adventures go on and on
|
| Par tām sapņot vaļā acīm čigānzēns māk
| The gypsy boy can dream about them with his eyes open
|
| Ģitāra, kad naktī atskan ugunīga
| Guitar when it sounds fiery at night
|
| Dziesma prieka pilna mainās un skumīga
| The song is full of joy and changes
|
| Acis kvēl, kad skaistulē tas kāri raugās
| Her eyes glow when she looks beautiful
|
| Tā viņš katru nakti kādu sirdi iekaro
| That's how he wins a heart every night
|
| Nu bet katru reizi, lai nu šā vai tā
| Well but every time, either this or that
|
| Tai ko mīl, tas savu sirdi uzdāvā
| He gives his heart to what he loves
|
| Tā kā gabalu no sevis, tā viņš meičai skūpstu devis
| As a piece of himself, he gave the girl a kiss
|
| Bet nu brīdī burvīgā tas atkal projām brauc
| But now, in a charming moment, it is moving away again
|
| Palika no mīlas kvēlas tikai atmiņas vien žēlas
| All that remained of love was only memories of pity

| Ka čigāni ir tālumā… | That gypsies are far away… |
