Genoem ka tiero lap
Koi wal toe vorbei

The lyrics to Django Wagner's song Kali Sinti are in a language called Romanes, which is the language spoken by the Romani people. The Romani, also known as Gypsies, are a nomadic group with origins in India and a history of persecution in various parts of the world.
The song seems to be about a journey or pilgrimage of some sort, with the singer describing different places and experiences along the way. They mention a "mangil" and a "wirta," which are both Romani words for a camp or settlement, and there are references to passing by things and meeting people. The chorus repeats the word "Kali" several times, which means "black" in Romani and has been interpreted as a reference to the Virgin Mary, who is often depicted as dark-skinned in Romani art.
The lyrics of Kali Sinti are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to reflect the experiences and worldview of the Romani people. The use of the Romani language and cultural references in the song help to preserve and celebrate this unique heritage, which is often overlooked or misunderstood in mainstream society.
