Recordings
Ando foro me gelem is a love song. Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos includes the name of her granddaughter Shireen in the lyrics and sings it in her honour.
Musical transcription based on the booklet accompanying the CD Amare gila - Unsere Lieder / Our Songs
Ando foro me gelem is one of the neve gila, the new songs. It is a love song about a beautiful girl with long hair. Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos includes the name of her granddaughter in the lyrics. The singer wished that Shireen, who showed musical talent at an early age, would one day carry on with her songs.
This is the new version of Ando foro me gelem written and arranged by Ruža's son Sascha Nikolić. He describes the style of the new song as 'Roma Dancefloor' and combines modern elements from soul-jazz and rap with the traditional song. The recording comes from the CD Ruzsa Shej, released by Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos and The Gypsy Family.
