RedCelt Lyr Req: Rom Song about Holocaust (15) Rom Song about Holocaust 22 Jan 01

Hi...

I'm hoping the ever resourceful Mudcat crew, and/or maybe some of the resident Rom can help me. I heard a song years ago on a PBS Holocaust documentary, sung by a Rom woman who survived the Nazi camps. The song spoke about returning home as a blackbird, and the translation given said that the "blackbird" image was the ashes rising from the incinerator smokestacks (the only way anyone returned home.)

This was an incredibly powerful song that stuck with me for years after one brief hearing, and I'd love to find it again.

Thanks, Jeff
