(1972)
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!
Gogol Bordello

Gogol Bordello is an American punk rock band from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, formed in 1999 by musicians from all over the world and known for theatrical stage shows and persistent touring. Much of the band's sound is inspired by Romani and Ukrainian music mixed with punk and dub, incorporating accordion and violin (and on some albums, saxophone).

The band has appeared in several popular films, most notably Everything Is Illuminated (2005) in which lead singer Eugene Hütz co-starred with Elijah Wood in a dramedy/adventure story about the Nazi purges in Ukraine. The group appears playing a brass band in a set that included the "Star-Spangled Banner" and the traditional Yiddish song "Bublitschki". Gogol Bordello contributed the song "Start Wearing Purple" to the film's score. The band is the focus of the 2008 documentary Gogol Bordello Non-Stop. The band recorded the song "Let's Get Crazy" for Coca-Cola's Euro 2012 advertising campaign.

Sounds like someone tossed an accordion into a room full of drunken Russians.

To be honest, these are not brilliant musicians. But they will have the concert hall steaming in just about ten seconds. Marvelous energetic shows. I've seen them perform on numerous festivals and being depressed while there is just no option

Yep.  But a room full of drunken Russians would probably already have an accordion.

 No way are these Russians. Please acknowledge the existence of many more other Slavic nations, that know how to party, but do not threat the world with nuclear war.
 
Sounds like someone tossed an accordion into a room full of drunken other Slavic nations...  Up to a 7!

Just heard Mano Negra's "Sidi H'Bibi" played, and thought it was Gogol Bordello. Then got curious re: how many GB songs might be in the RP playlist. Then noticed that Pala Tute hasn't been played since 2014 (assuming this from the date of the latest comments).

How about reviving Pala Tute, Bill? Pretty please? {#Pray}

5.2 ???? Absurd. Once described as 'sounds like The Pogues and The Clash met in Russia and had a fight'...... One of the most fabulous bands you'll ever see live, 11/10

This track is THE shit!!  Maybe it's the irreverence, sort of a TMBG crossed with Borat sound to it, both of which I really enjoy...so I've rated it an eight and won't look back!  Thanks as always, BnR...and Long Live RP!!

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.
