The song was written in the first camp where Raymond Gureme was. It was written by his sisters when Raymond Gureme escaped for the first time. They sang the song in the morning when the guards called the prisoners and when they called Raymond Gureme.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lyrics<\/strong><\/p>

Ce qu\u2019aucun homme n\u2019a pus faire,\u00a0
What no man could ever do<\/strong><\/p>

Un gamin de 15 ans l\u2019a montr\u00e9\u00a0
A 15 years old kid was able to<\/strong><\/p>

Que ce n\u2019est pas une affaire\u00a0
It was no small business <\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

de se sauver tout en \u00e9tant encha\u00een\u00e9\u00a0
To escape while in chains<\/strong><\/p>

C\u2019\u00e9tait pour une bagatelle\u00a0
They locked him away<\/strong><\/p>

Qu\u2019ils l\u2019avaient mus au cagibi\u00a0
For a petty\u00a0 mistake<\/strong><\/p>

Mais sa col\u00e8re en \u00e9tait telle\u00a0
But his anger was such<\/strong><\/p>

Que le soir il est parti\u00a0
That the same night he was away. <\/strong><\/p>

Parti de Lina-Monthl\u00e9ry\u00a0
No longer at the camp<\/strong><\/p>

Les gendarmes se mirent \u00e0 ses trousses\u00a0
The soldiers went in search of him<\/strong><\/p>

Mais ils n\u2018ont pas pu l\u2019attraper\u00a0
But returned empty – handed. <\/strong><\/p>

Ils sont revenus tous bredouill\u00e9s\u00a0
They came back confused<\/strong><\/p>

Le chef avait l\u2019air d\u2019une andouille\u00a0
The chief seemed foolish<\/strong><\/p>

Et si Dieu le veut bien\u00a0\u00a0
And if God wills it<\/strong><\/p>

C\u2019est pas aujourd\u2019hui ni demain\u00a0
We won’t see our brother again<\/strong><\/p>

Que nous reverrons notre frangin\u00a0\u00a0
Either today or tomorrow. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dikh He Na Bister pays tribute to our friend and hero Raymond Gur\u00eame, who died in May 2020. He would be celebrating bis 95th birthday in a few days on 11th August. Raymond was born into a Manouche family of actors and acrobats in France. In Nazi-occupied Europe, his family had been imprisoned in camps, like so many other Romani people under fascism. As a teenager, he would break into these camps to feed and care for his loved ones, before boldly escaping again! His sister Henriette wrote a song about his courage.<\/span><\/p>

Raymond was a warm mischievous soul, at the center of the Dikh He Na Bister youth remembrance meetings. He has become the leading voice and figure of the Romani Resistance movement for dignity, solidarity, human rights and against any form of racism. He invested his last years to encourage young people to continue his fight and to live in freedom and with joy.
This is a collection of memories of our times together! Let us pay tribute to Raymond. Let us preserve and take responsibility for his legacy. Let us stand up and raise your voice: Resist!<\/p>
