I live in the mud,

Yeah, I’m a Gypsy

If you dream about blood, bud

It runs in my family.

 

My life is filled with sadness.

I fight, oh yeah, do I fight.

My life is filled with bitterness,

I make my guitar moan at night.

 

Against society,

I learnt to live though I’m wounded.

I’m wild, but oh, I’m free

Because my strings have sounded.

 

I can play with my fingers.

Even though I have only three

But I lost the others in a fire.

I can ring my "zaïti".

 

My name is Django,

Yeah, I’m a Reinhardt.

I’m not a "gadjo"

And I play with my heart.

 

I’m sitting in the street.

Can’t you hear ? My heart it broke.

My heart skipped a beat,

I’m having a stroke.
