Lyrics:
Chapite! ("It is True" - Romani)

Verse 1
We would sit around a fire,
With good ol’ Phuro Jango,
The elder we admire,
For his gripping tales and lore,
His age-old memories,
Still stir within our Heart,
To trace the beaten path, back to the start!

Verse 2
That we toiled along the Nile,
Before we crossed the Red Sea
Or that we’re in exile,
‘Cause we adored Ishtari,
And that we still recall,
Tells we’re people of the book!
A peculiar tribe that’s worth another look!

Chorus
Chapite! Let us tell our story out loud,
Chapite! And we’ll shout it out, The world to hear,
Hai Chapite! That we know deep down who we are,
Yes we do! Hai Chapite!

(Repeat Verse 1)

Go to Chorus

Bridge
Chapite! In our own collective mem’ry,
Chapite! Written in our social mores,
Chapite! And we’re not afraid, No more!
Chapite! Hai Chapite! Hai Chapite!
No, not afraid, No more!

Bridge (repeated)

Chorus 2
Chapite! Let us tell our story out loud,
Chapite! And we’ll shout it out, The world to hear,
Hai Chapite! That we know deep down who we are,
Chapite! Say it again! (Repeat Chorus 2)

We’re a people of the Book, Chapite!
