Take each his hammer!\\ Who makes the gipsy's a life with pleasure laden?\\ Who makes the gipsy's a life with pleasure laden?\\ Who? Who?\\ The a gipsy's life a song?\\ Who makes his life one with pleasure laden?\\ The gipsy maiden!\\ \\ Fill me a bumper; both arm and hand\\ New strength and courage draw from flowing beakers.\\ \\ See how the sunlight, radiantly glowing,\\ Borrows new beams from our wine-cups o'er-flowing!\\ Resume our labor!\\ Who makes the gipsy's a life with pleasure laden?\\ Who makes the gipsy's a life with pleasure laden?\\ Who? Who?\\ The gipsy's life a song?\\ The gipsy maiden!\\ The gipsy maiden!\\ The gipsy maiden!\\ \\ The gipsy maiden!\\ \\ ++ *++Salvatore Cammarano|{{search>"Salvatore Cammarano" @cobs}}++ (1801-1852) (finished by Leone Emanuele Bardare), 1853 *//(trans. unknown)//
