Gypsy Talk
By Tatiana Pahlen

What makes you happy, divulge me girl,
I'm prying to know you better;
Luxurious cars, strings of pearls,
Smooth furs or indulgent letters?

Chat artlessly, my poetess,
Drop this shiny shell.
I see your soul despite these drapes.
Watch! I shall ring your bell.

Want a soul mate –
Bind to my hand!
Heed this passionate word.
I am Gypsy, step on my road;
I'll lead you around the world.



December, 1994
