E noiembrie, e singur

În casă, în viață și-n suflet

Iar brațele lui goale strigă

Ca îi e frig te-atâta singur.

E noiembrie și azi și mâine

Și el tot se păcălește singur

Că nu e loc de el in tine

Și se va îndepărta, sunt sigur.

Bucharest, 8th September

There was no question of Romani language being taught in schools and/or being used in the mass media – print or audio-visual – or anywhere else in society. There was no question of Romani literature being supported and promoted during the 45 years of the Communist regime in Romania. Even non-Romani authors such as Georgiana Viorica Rogoz (pseudonym of Viorica Huber), who published a collection of Romani stories and thus publicly acknowledged the group’s existence as well as its plight, were punished and banned from publishing any other works (Remmel 2007, 77–79). That is why the Romani language did not develop openly before 1990, remaining within the walls of Romani houses. Thus, it can be said that Romani literature did not experience a public ‘rebirth’ until after 1989/90.
