Romani Suttur Gillie

Romani Suttur Gillie Jaw to sutturs, my tiny chal; Your die to dukker has jall'd abri; At rarde she will wel palal And tute of her tud shall pie. Jaw to lutherum, tiny baw! I'm teerie deya's purie mam; As tute cams her tud canaw Thy deya meerie tud did cam. GYPSY LULLABY Go to sleep, my tiny boy; Your Mum's out reading palms; When she comes back at close of day You'll sup milk from her breast. Go to sleep, tiny guest! Your Mum's my lovely daughter; Just as you love her gentle breast So once did she with mine. . Author notes A translation from the Anglo-Rom, this time a lullaby by a grandmother to her daughter's baby boy
