Caravan is comin', all guitars are strummin'
Chief is sitting high with gold across the chest
I'm just a little chavo, I don't even own a gitar
But mama they got girl that I love the best

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Aah aah aah, aah aah ai!

[??]
Mishto!

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late

Caravan is comin', all guitars are strummin'
And says old Hidano: ''"Boy, forget about the bling,
Here is a gitara for you my little chavo
If you slave to kissing, you gotta play this thing"''

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana aah, aah aah ai!

[??]
Mishto!

Caravan is leavin' and her breast is heavin'
Lord this kind of love cannot be untrue
I'm a little chavo but I learned a one thing
Girls they like the kissing as much as we do!

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
I'm dying, I'm dying, dying after you
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Girls they like the kissing as much as we do

Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana meres, mirala pala late
Lela lela lela, lela pala tute
Jas kana aah, aah aah ai!

It sure does, then a party broke out and everyone started dancing. Great song for those of us that like a good party.

I understand what you mean, and agree that they are not "brilliant" (only a handful of those on the planet, as in "Jimmy Hendrix").

But they have their golden nuggets within the band...
Their violinist Sergey Ryabtsev (born September 11, 1958) is a classically-trained
Russian musician. He was also a teacher in the music school. And he kills it live!

Their (ex?) bassist Thomas "Tommy T" Gobena is also very good.

They changed a lot of musicians in the band, some were really good.

If you haven't seen it, watch Everything is Illuminated (2005). Gogol Bordello's frontman Eugene Hütz's stars together with Elijah Wood in Liev Schreiber's directing debut. The band also makes a cameo appearance. No car chases, but worth the time. And Wood ends up with another ring.

I would normally rate this a six, just because I like Gogol Bordello, and this is a decent example from them. 

But the number of people rating this a 1 makes me like it enough to give it a 7. Does that make me a jerk? Maybe. Maybe...

Might this be the lowest rated song on RP? I'm not used to seeing 4.8s, with 25% giving it a 1.

I was going to crap on it, but the fierce energy is having a good effect on my opinion.

Ha Ha, makes me think of Hava Nagila.  Makes sense, after I checked them out, turns out much of the band's sound is inspired by Gypsy music, mixed with punk and dub.   Very good, very weird.  Its COOL!
