By Keith Terrett. By Žarko Jovanović. Arranged by Keith Terrett. Multicultural,Patriotic,Sacred,Traditional,World. 12 pages. Keith Terrett #641347. Published by Keith Terrett (A0.1036240).An arrangement of the Romani Anthem for String Orchestra. "Gelem, Gelem" is a song composed by Žarko Jovanović, often used as the anthem of the Romani people. The title has been adapted in many countries by local Roma to match their native orthography and spoken dialect of the Romani language. Some of the song's many titles include "Đelem, Đelem" (Croatian and Latin Serbian and Bosnian orthography) "Djelem, Djelem" (German and French orthography) "Dzelem, Dzelem" "Dželem, Dželem" (alternative Croatian and Latin Serbian and Bosnian orthography) "Gyelem, Gyelem" (Hungarian orthography) "Jelem, Jelem" "Opré Roma" "Romale Shavale" "Ѓелем, Ѓелем" (Macedonian orthography) "Джелем, джелем" (Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian orthography) "Ђелем, Ђелем" (Cyrillic Serbian and Bosnian orthography) "Џелем, Џелем" (alternative Cyrillic Serbian and Bosnian orthography) In an interview with reporter Mike Kalezić, Jovanović himself titled the song "Opre Roma". After experiencing firsthand the incarceration of Roma during the Porajmos (the Romani Holocaust of World War II), Jovanović later composed the lyrics of "Gelem, Gelem" and set them to a traditional melody in 1949. The song was first adopted by delegates of the first World Romani Congress held in 1971. There are many versions of "Gelem, Gelem", notably those translated by Ronald Lee. In 2004, the band Vaya Con Dios released an interpretation, with lyrics in French by their singer Dani Klein, with the similar sounding title "Je l'aime, Je l'aime".
