Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Miro dad says, “Lachi rat, chavó,”
Keep your head high when the road runs cold
Miri daj keeps a cup by the door
Says, “Come home, rakli, you belong here more”
At school they ask me where I’m from
I name two places, but they hear just one
One hand holds the old songs close
One hand reaches where the gorgi road goes
[Pre-Chorus]
Na bister, don’t forget
The blood, the bread, the names we kept
But I won’t cut my heart in two
To make one half more true
[Chorus]
I’m halfway home, but home is wide
Romani heart and gorgi side
Miri baxt, my luck, let it turn
I carry every bridge I’ve learned
Dikhel, look at me, I won’t hide
Two bright rivers running side by side
If you ask me who I am tonight
I’m both, and both are mine
[Verse 2]
Miro phral laughs, “Tu san gadji now?”
I laugh it off, but I still don’t know how
To explain the ache beneath my skin
When every door says, “Choose which one you’re in”
I know the word for love in the kitchen light
I know the songs that wake the room at night
And I know the gorgi ways I chose
The work, the books, the life I’ve grown
[Pre-Chorus]
Na bister, don’t forget
A name can bend without breaking yet
I can take the road ahead
With every voice behind me led
[Chorus]
I’m halfway home, but home is wide
Romani heart and gorgi side
Miri baxt, my luck, let it turn
I carry every bridge I’ve learned
Dikhel, look at me, I won’t hide
Two bright rivers running side by side
If you ask me who I am tonight
I’m both, and both are mine
[Bridge]
Lachi rat, good night to fear
Me som akate, I am here
Not a question, not a line
Not a border I must mind
Miri daj, hear me say
I carry you in every day
And to the world beyond our gate
I bring my whole heart, not half a name
[Final Chorus]
I’m not halfway, I’m the tide
Romani heart and gorgi side
Miri baxt, my luck, let it turn
Every road is something learned
Dikhel, look at me, I won’t hide
Two bright rivers running side by side
If you ask me who I am tonight
I’m both, and both are mine
[Outro]
Na bister, don’t forget
Me som akate, I am here yet
Lachi rat, and morning time
Every part of me is mine

Style
Warm contemporary folk-pop with Balkan and Romani-inspired acoustic colors: nylon-string guitar, cimbalom-like hammered strings, violin ornaments, hand percussion, rounded bass, and a restrained modern drum groove. Verses feel intimate and conversational; pre-choruses build with layered claps and rising violin; the chorus opens wide with memorable communal harmonies, then a stripped bridge leaves voice, guitar, and violin before the final chorus. Clear expressive female lead vocal, bittersweet but resilient, natural room ambience, organic dynamics, polished radio mix. Use respectful cultural texture without caricature.
