"Tu gelan-tar a lumasa is a new song. Such creations often have echoes of pop songs or South American melodies, but they are rarely consciously used as a whole and translated into Romani language. Individual melody parts or longer passages remained in Ruža and Mišo's memory, they liked them, and a new song was created from them. I witnessed the creation of several such songs myself. It is an extremely creative process and Ruža and her husband complement each other wonderfully. One of them hums a melody, Mišo starts to play it on the guitar and makes up lyrics. It doesn't take long, and the first verse is finished. Mišo usually writes down the finished text, Ruža reads it through a few times and changes it according to her dialect. The two of them often discuss the lyrics for a long time. The melody does not have to be written down because Ruža has an extraordinary musical memory. Tu gelan-tar a lumasa was written about 20 years ago [around 1974] in a creative collaboration between Ruža and Mišo, with unmistakable echoes of a popular Hungarian melody. This song is also said to be based on a true event."
