LELLING CAPPI: MAKING A FORTUNE

“AV, my little Romany chel!

Av along with mansar!

Av, my little Romany chel!

Koshto si for mangue.”

“I shall lel a curapen,

If I jal aley;

I shall lel a curapen

From my dear bebee.”

“I will jal on my chongor,

Then I’ll pootch your bebee.

‘O my dear bebee, dey me your chi,

For koshto si for mangue.’

“‘Since you pootch me for my chi,

I will dey you lati.’”

Av, my little Romany chel!

We will jal to the wafu tem:

“I will chore a beti gry,

And so we shall lel cappi.”

“Kekko, meero mushipen,

For so you would be stardo;

“But I will jal a dukkering,

And so we shall lel cappi.”

“Koshto, my little Romany chel!

Koshto si for mangue.”
