A verse from À Gipsy Life, Faria, is quoted in both English and German in the book, Germany and it`s Gypsies, A Post-Auschwitz View, Gilad Margalit. No date is given, but the lines suggest prior to WW1. Lustig ist das Zigeunerleben... Faria, Faria, Ho Er braucht dem Kaiser Kein Zins zu geben; Lustig was es em in grunen Wald, (umlaut u- keyboard acting up) Wo der Zigeuner Aufenhalt. Jolly is the Gipsy`s life...Faria, Faria, Ho He needs to pay The Kaiser no tribute; Jolly it is in the green forest Where the Gipsy lives. A reference is given, but the Google excerpt does not include the references.
