FA.TIMA It all began in 1920 When the wife of a traveling gypsy gave birth to their first born baby girl named Fa.tima. When she was born her father threw a big celebration and invited gypsy's. from all over. As they rushed back to the camp her father big mike also known as Buddha called upon his mother and his sisters and told them to gather all the women to prepare the food for the feast so his mother yelled in a loud voice saying hi.dae girls which means come on girls we have work to do. As the pig's were being roasted over the campfire and the sad.ma was being wrapped which is a traditional stuffed cabbage dish fresh bread was needed by hand all different types of desserts as the woman were cooking, The men begun to play guitars' around the campfire as night true All the guest have arrived Her father stood up and gave thanks to everyone who attended the celebration and all of the Guest who showed up he said in my owner this gift is for all of you he called upon to his sister's to dance for the Guest of the party. normally he would call upon his wife to dance but to the fact that she just had a baby. She was considered ma.de.may which means unclenched. As Frank played the guitar a beautiful sweet seductive gypsy melody played from his fingertips As he stood up and his three sisters approached the Camp fire he began to sing while he was singing his three sisters stood behind him swaying in the background moving there hand's over their head's one Had her hand on her hip and the other hand in the air moving ever so gracefully to the Gypsy music He began to sing his song.. Up on the Terrace where the snow is really deep come little one I have food for you to eat. Oh the gypsy. What a gypsy never again well I watch those gypsy's dance... As the tempo of the song picked up And he's Sister's started to dance faster. He started singing the second verse round and round they go while they dance! While your watch you we'll find romance! Oh the gypsy what a gypsy never again will I watch those gypsy's dance. I saw a gypsy girl grab her bye the hand I tried to kiss her she slapped me and she ran..! Oh. The gypsy what a gypsy never again will I watch those gypsy's dance. Now we were drinking wine and we were feeling fine to a gypsy... Dance!!!!!... As time went on six weeks came to pass and now pea.po was no longer considered ma.dimay she slowly came out of the caravan holding her new baby right away her husband Big mike got the baby from her and presented the baby to his father.
