Request for Question Clarification by crabcakes-ga on 06 May 2005 16:49 PDT

Hi pembroke9,

   Would you accept lyrics with one or two words missing? I have found
several sites that have the words minus a word or two. It was far
easier to find the music to download, than the lyrics to this song! (I
love the Gipsy Kings too!)

  Let me know if what I have found will do.

  Regards, Crabcakes

Hi Crabcakes,

I suspect the words which are missing are not Spanish, but literally,
from a Gipsy dialect.  Yes, what you have found would be acceptable. 
Thanks for your help.

Hello Pembroke9,

  Thank you for accepting these lyrics, although they are missing a
word or two, and they seem to be the same word or two.
According to the following link, the Gipsy Kings speak in the Gypsy
dialect of Gitane.
http://www.gipsykings.com/bios.html

Here they are:


Somos Gitanos
=============

Yo me siento tan alegre

Yo me siento tan alegre
     
Y de pensar en lo que yo
    
En la vida me dan.

 Son lo hecho mi dicha entera
                     
Son lo que llega a m?ena
     
Son lo hecho me dicha entera
                    
Son lo que llega a m?ena
     
En la vida a m?e dan
    
En la vida que m?e dan 
      
En la vida a m?e dan
      
En l amor a mi me dan
       
Somos gita - nos.


Chorus(2x):

        
Somos gitanos

Tengo mi familia
     
Yo la quiero

Ellos primero
        
Para ellos canto
                          
Tengo la vida que a m?e dan.




  Porque tengo una familia 
               
Tocaron algunas ni?
                 
Y una mujer que me quiere 
                   
Yo los quiero de verdad___


     
En la vida a m?e dan
     
En l amor que m?e dan 
     
En la vida a m?e dan
     
En l amor a mi me dan
       
Somos gita - nos.


Chorus
======


I do suspect the words with the question marks are a dialect, whose
special characters are not interpreted by web browsers.  I tried
changing to numerous fonts, but could not come up with the words.

There's another song by the same name, different artists

Somos gitanos y la amor cantamos
Somos gitanos
Somos gitanos y la amor cantamos
Somos gitanos

Somos gitanos
Canasteros
Somos gitanos
Alegres como niņos

Mi tierra tan llena de sol
Hace cantar mi Corazon ? gitano
Bailan las chicas del pueblo
Salero con palmas al son ? gitano

En este cielo tan azul
Las aves libres como un gitano
Y al perfume andaluz
Mi san gre se vuelve alegre

Soy un gitano
Soy un gitano
Canastero
Soy un gitano
Alegre como un niņo

I hope this helps you. If you're at all like me, by listening to the
song a few times, and armed with these lyrics, you'll be singing along
with the
Gipsy Kings!

Atentamente, Crabcakes
