Do you think it is cool or romantic that Gypsies dance around the fire?

[Mortimer]

That is old school, I dont know how many still do that, but it is a symbolic that gypsies used or it is said that they do dance around the fire. Did you ever heard of that? My dad said "they would just set on fire a old hoop and start dancing around it"

Well, I give up!

[Flub]

It's sort of off-putting imo. Kinda heretical just by the look of it.:ohwell:

Do you also set a fire in Graz?

[Rafael Passoni]

Female gypsies dance around the fire and show their past lives through their body movements. In Brazil they dance around the fire:

IMO its very cool!
They often say "Optcha", but I don't know the meaning.

Also, there are some fammous Gypsy bands there:

Lyrics:

Chei chovorriho nastil te lauto,
Vi te camessa ti nachavauto,
Djal te piral love te lau

Tutar mangal man te ajuqueres,
Tiro ilo chei te pandaves,
Djal te piral love te lau
Codola romá aven te manguento,
Te na rovessa von ninguerento,
Me ti guindonsa sin te meral, sin te meral
Djau ,djau te piral,djau love te lau
Djau ,djau te piral,djau love te lau
Codola romá aven te manguento,
Te na rovessa von ninguerento,
Me ti guindonsa sin te meral, sin te meral
Djau ,djau te piral,djau love te lau
Djau ,djau te piral,djau love te lau

I can't find the translation neither In which language they are singing. When I ask them, they just say that only Gypsies know the meaning.

Looks like they've drawn this symbol on the ground around the bonfire: https://caminhosciganos.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/bandeira-cigana-1.png
