(Words to music.)

Gipsy son, stood on the market
  Among of crowd,
  Gipsy son, on violin played
  Among the laughing-stock...
  Gipsy son! bunch call,
  Why you hum such a sad song? [1]
For a penny let the song will be merry,
And not like a hum of cemetery trees!...

Gipsy son had on shoulder
  A monkey which was faithful to him,
Which danced on the splices of ropes, [2]
  Though she was very wan …

Then to dance upwards! Gipsy accompanies!
  Bunch laughs and claps,
Suddenly Gipsy sang sad song.
  And silently strokes a monkey –

  (prelude)

Off with your song [you] gipsy son!
From where you dragged [you] pagan son!
<sup>*</sup> <sub>*</sub> <sup>*</sup>
And gipsy son went in forest –
  And when moon got up from the North,
Gipsy son swayed on the tree –
  Hung – – ! alone and orphan's ..
Willow by new moon creaked dully
  Gipsy son raged with the winds!
And on the shoulder sat the monkey –
  Terrible this act! damn act!
Damn act!... (prelude )
