Gogol Bordello - Madagascar-Roumania (Tu Jésty Fáta) Lyrics
So now you tell me you're living in a country
Where joys and freedom they can not be tried
But alone in your mind there are so many rooms
That you never seem to find
But you just never go there when you are awake
When most of the time whatever that you look for
You could'd just sit down and make
So do "the right thing". just do "the right thing"
How can you do it while you're awake?!
Instead I scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp
'Cause even in Madagascar (Madagascar)
We'll find some shack below radar (below radar)
And punk rock 'n' roll most faithfully
It will occure-cure-cure! ... cure cure cure!
Instead you run to your little birdfeeder
And stick your beak in the seeds your master laid
Where did they came from? Who put them in there?
Oh, you will never know their name!
But there is a room where bustle and 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're awake?!
Instead I scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp
'Case even in Madagascar (Madagascar)
We'll find some shack below radar (below radar)
And even in Antarctica!(Antarctica)
And even in Azerbaijan! (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!
...and sewing machine too!
Tu esti fata care n-are
N-are n-are suflet, n-are
Care n-are suflet, n-are
Haide fata tu afara,
Sa te vada toti tziganii,
Haide fata tu afara
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Tu esti fata, fata buna,
Care cu min' nu se joaca,
Care cu min' nu se joaca
Haide fata tu afara,
Sa te vada toti tziganii,
Haide fata tu afara
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Lalalalalalalalalalala
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Haide Doamne, ce-ai cu Firea
Nu-ti gasesc ce e cu mine
Hai ioi, doamne ce-ai cu Firea
Hai Doamne ce-i cu firea
Nu gasesc ce e cu mine,
Hai oioioioi
Ce-i cu firea
To li wedmi, to li tsigane,
A mi ni huia ne znaem,
Ai oiii
Ni huia ne znaem.

The thief Mazare form Romania bring me here :))
ba coaie se scrie ~tu esti fata
+ Vajna Botond What's your problem, Vajna? Angry at life?
+Vajna Botond nu e drept ! e o melodie tiganeassca care asa e intitulata Tu jesty fata
You just proved you are a SICKO!
lovely song, does the group do anymore like this? I usually listen to Gogol songs when I feel angry but this is a relaxing song
+blakespower Oh yes...Sun Is On My Side, Tribal Connection....tons more. Explore!
Tu ești fată care n-are, n-are suflet n-are, care n-are suflet n-are. Haide fată tu afară să te vadă toți țiganii, haide fată tu afară. This is if somebody needs or wanders about the spelling of the Romanian part of the song. Native.
+spineshivers and what does that mean?
@Tarpe Ćinarf You are a girl that doesn't have a soul x2. Girl. let's go outside so all the gypsies could see you, girl, let's go outside.
+spineshivers Most people can set their PC's to translate automatically,
But it's nice of u to offer.
@Colette Bembenek "No soul" is an expression. Meaning uncaring, maybe even evil.
I think it's meant to shame her, because she toyed with his feelings and broke his heart. "Come outside girl, so all the gypsies can see you", maybe so all the gypsies can see that she's the one who made him suffer, who doesn't have a soul and doesn't care. But that's just my take and I'm not really sure if I'm right about it :)
Nu inteleg tot
"You're the girl who doesn't have a soul"
Tu esti fata... is correct
@Kulina Folk Art Redware corect is Tu jésty fáta....because is in řomanes (romanian gypsy language) the original song is singed by serbian-romanian gypsies
@Skall 161 Thank you for letting me know! I just learned something new.
your welcome
+Skall 161 The woman singing has a distinct Maramures accent. I doubt that's she's roma/gypsy
Tu esti fata care nare, nare nare suflet nare!
He he, just google/youtube for this: Kanizsa Csillagai - Tu jesty fata
Galaţi poperse!
The accent isn't heavy,actually it's one of the cleanest voices I heard.
Translated: "You're the girl that doesn't have soul,you have no soul. Come,girl,outside so the gypsies can see you." the refrain kicks in.
"You are a girl,a good girl,which with me you don't play." and the refrain. The actual translation would make no sense as here they repeat some words,and invert them,in the second half of the proposition.
There’s no actual accent, the female singers are Romanian.
Its Russian. "we're either witches, or gypsies. We dont fucking know, oooh we dont fucking know"
The last few lines aren't in Romanian tho.
Of course Google can't help you. I don't know what made you think that this is the way you spell in Romanian. Even "Tu jesty fata" is wrong. It's "Tu eşti fată" J isn't pronounced like the ee from speed in Romanian. Also, we use the letter y very rarely.
That's because it isn't in standard Romanian. The original song is in Boyash, which has this strange ortography.
Google is no help with "To li ved'my, to li cygane. A my ne huja ne znaem. Aajo ne huja ne znaem"
Vorbeste ba in numele tau.

To woman is needed to transport it :)...
It seems you that are dumb as fuck.
you know it!:>
ne huia ne znaiu / ceva de genu....nicio pula nu stiu
Pret de cateva secunde poti asculta aici si refrenul la Cantecul broastei testoase.
well...you're right, but if you do you should help me out?
If you can't figure this out then sorry. You don't know shit about guitar playing.
someone should post the guitar chords for this
exista 2 constante la tine bogdan: somnul polifazic si gogol bordello xd
da,pizda means the same :)) word taken from the slavic language
"man" is sometimes used to mean "human".
Balkan ftw B)
yes it does
yeah , happend to me too , it's never too late though :)
Isn't Gogol in the standard curriculum, being a world classic and all?
I downloaded this song on LimeWire about 5 years ago and it was the aptly named Gog.mp3
after a few formats and almost giving up you are home Gog.mp3
you mean you're reading Nikolai Gogol's books?
my teacher is awesome, he showed me gogol
'There are so many rules........... even here in Amerika, the Stupid Power......too hostile
to ever find peace. I LOVE THIS SONG AND ANYTHING GOGOL'S TROUPE' DOES !
Ma futuz moartii matii!
GENIAL COMO SIEMPRE....VIVA GOGOL BORDELLO ...VIVA MEXICO !!!!
ten pula mea de deprimat, dupa ce tia largit tactu lorgeanul acum ai figuri, besi in morti mati in pestera, au ajuns si placintarii ca tine sa aiba net, besh la sapat canale.
stie mata si e tot ce conteaza, ea zicea ca-i place, pe langa pula. ii place pula grav.
ma trezesc cand vrea pula mea , te fute pe tine grija, da vad'ca ai asteptat raspunsul meu, pacat e ca esti mascul, ca-ti scoteam un viol la capat.
Um...that "Romanian folk music" is Băieşi music, so it fits perfectly "with their gypsy style" since Băieşi are a branch of Romani.
what about every woman?
Hai ROMANIA !
why are these people mixing romanian folk music with their gypsy style? i love gogol bordello, but this is like a bad joke!
holy shit! thank you for translating that! this is one of my all time favorite gogol songs and i've always wondered if i would ever find out what they were saying! you have made my fuckin' WEEK! thank you!
You're so stupid... You better inform a little before you speak...
you're a short sighted bigot, and people like you should die in a fire.
love this song! great music!
i think you intented to say the oposite
sa nu exageram.
The Romanian part of this song is really beautiful, so sad it makes me want to cry. It is difficult for me to translate as the girl singing has a very heavy Transylvanian accent, but it is something like: "You're a good girl, you're a big girl, but you have no soul. Come out, come out, so all of the gypsies can see you, come out, come play with me!" and the refrain something like "Oh God, what is wrong with me, oh God, what is wrong with me?" Very beautiful, yet very sad.
No problem, stop by my bar, I will buy you a beer! Noroc!
WHAAAAT I was not especting them to actualy sing romanian...tho they are not like the gypsies i know and see... il make a exception and not hate and despise.
land of what? unfortunately you don't know what are you are talking about. romanians are no longer romanians ad gypsies are no longer gypsies in this land. if all our gypsies would play like gogol bordello i would worship them
re....cunosc imi place Voooodka, mai toarna, nene inc-un SHAT !
Esti tare prost, române !
Because people are basically ignorant and evil.
Try my buddies from Iasi, Romania.. They have a couple of videos here on Youtube. Name of the band is Sukar Nation. Good stuff.
Dayum,,,, They are great day or night.... can't stop the east infection , GB Rules!
@bogdan0205 Man, I really hope so. That way we all realize we're all unified in some way huh
@bogdan0205
the term is Bodhisattva
@bogdan0205 the term is Bodhisattva
@sIr3nn3 Man, its a shame shes no longer with the band, she has the best voice Ive heard in a long time
@sIr3nn3 oh cool, thanks for the name and the info
@OmletteDuFromage1 Romanians don't hate them.. the few exceptions who do, do it because they don't understand them or had random few bad experiences with them;
the writing "jesty" is done like this to hint at how it should be read internationally (it is according to the International Phonetic Alphabet); it helps people pronounce it
@KostaVV she's a former member of the band; you can find information about members on wikipedia; her name is Andra Ursuta (percussion, backing vocals, Dance, general performance) - Romania
who is this lady who sings in the latter part? god, her voice is amazing
ca esti o lepra care se vinde altor tari doar pentru ca tara ta nu e cul? zic si eu ah @OmletteDuFromage1
@OmletteDuFromage1 then stop judging people or nations if you're " a kid" . if you're a kid, learn, don't repeat what others are saying. i'm romanian , and probably i'll kill you. and not 'cause i'm a romanian-gypsy. It's just because i hate idiots. But don't forget. This is a comment page of a song which was supposed to bring light in happiness in your sad and bored ass. And as a matter of fact, this is balkanic music. and i think i said enough.
@SearchingForBlood n-am spus asta tampitule.. i didn't said that
Hej, Polacy, nie wiedziałam, że tylu z nas zafascynował gypsy punk :) Pozdrawiam!
For me this piece is what I expect from music. I don't know exactly, what it is, but it gives me peace and my soul is now filled. I simply love this song!
em loop infinito na minha cabeça
To me this is one of the best Gogol Bordello songs there is. I love it so much!
what means jesty???
Megafuckinggreatsong!
SZACUN!
If you listen to their music and then worry about who is a gypsy and who is not then do me a favour: Grind all of your Gogol cd's in to a very fine dust and snort it. Maybe in that manner you will understand what this music is about.
@saranator Don't let the terrorists win! thumbs up!
@TheFunkyBrain
Romani gypsy, not Romanian.. there's differentiation between the two. Learn it.. generally it's not wise to confuse the two.
@Paramantus It's spelled *criticize*
in this band we have :
* Eugene Hütz – Ucraina
* Serghei Ryabtsev –Rusia
* Yuri Lemeshev – Rusia
* Oren Kaplan – Israel
* Thomas Gobena - Etiopia
* Eliot Ferguson – SUA
* Pamela Jitana Racine – SUA
* Elizabeth Sun – Scotia, born from chinez parents
* Pedro Erazo – Ecuador
so... where is that romanian gyspy?? you see here?
srry my bad english but when i see more ppl tell me : you are romanian, you are gypsy .... wtf?!?!? ppl gypsy come from india ;)
Wakes up the gypsy in me :P Love it.
who ever thumbs-downed this is clearly a terrorist.
this reminds me of the mountains for some reason
My favorite Gogol Bordello song, thanks for the upload!
at some point in the song..the girls sing "haide fata tu apare sa te vada toti TIGANII"
And that my friends are the true name of the gipsyes living in My country Romania.
TIGANI!...and it's not a name full of shame..it's how they are named in other countries too. The RROM name that was improper planted by Petre Roman after the revolution in romania is wrong. They are Tigani not rrom. the confusion is awfull between romanians and rroms now..it's starting to get on my nerves.
@SearchingForBlood oh yeah .. in the comment .. it's roma .. sorry ... i thought that in the song..
@DizzyTheWyldesage he said romanian you idiot.. i can understand.. i'm a romanian
@Paramantus Eugene uses wordplay a lot... this might be a mistake but he might be making a pun, a statement, or something else... I don't know for certain in THIS case.. but that being said he does it an awful lot.
@drag0nfig0 he is gypsy blooded and is accepted in the camps... he's not a traditionalist.. but Eugene IS a gypsy... and anyone who disputes the gypsy liniage of Sergei Riabtzev is ignorant, retarded or both.. I was a fan of his years before GB existed... check him out
@ferdin12 because Roma aren't the only true gypsies...ask any sinti! and there are like 7 other ethnic groups that are commonly referred to by the name as well.
Con Son?
@SearchingForBlood he said Roma, not Romanian.. there's a difference sucker.
