are subtle and honest,
others crude and brutal.
No one can avoid them.
Ah, l'll offer you my lips
and my caresses, Zobar.
Ah, my love will be
so sweet.
You'll forget the whole world.
You won't miss those wild
gallops over the plain.
Tomorrow you will submit to me
like to your elder.
You'll bow down before me
in front of my people.
And you'll kiss my right hand.
When you do, l'll become your wife.
And then...
Then we'll have our night.
l will come to you,
naked as a newborn child.
And we shall be reborn together,
Luiku.
Come here.
May your love lie heavy
upon your thoughts,
and upon your heart
and on the hands that caress me.
Drink!
Don't be afraid of me,
Luiku, don't.
l was... l was even more
beautiful than your Rada.
Where is she? Where's Rada?
Your Rada's gone away,
she left, my dear.
They set out
at sunrise.
- Why have you stayed?
- l'll wait for the first frost.
l must gather herbs,
then l'll join them.
Just before winter kills herbs,
their poison is strongest.
- Where did they go?
- Toward the mountain pass.
They'll stop in Bucovina
and make camp.
Vanity...
lt's all vanity.
And your suffering is vain, too.
l'll give you a potion,
it will make you stronger.
And you'll forget your love for Rada.
Ah, Zobar...
You'll go there for your death.
What will you have?
Nothing.
l'll rest a little, then l'll go.
Go on, rest if you like.
Everyone only wants to rest today.
That cursed Friday.
What's the matter, Zobar?
Why do you look so sad?
Go wash up.
Wake up, man!
Hey, lnnkeeper, fill up four big jugs
with wine and hang them on my saddle.
Right away, Zobar.
Today we're going to celebrate!
Drink, my friends!
Take me to her.
You'll be my best man.
You've forgotten.
l told you to have
three locks on you.
One for your lips, one for your
heart, and one for your thoughts.
They've all been broken.
Take me to her.
l know, Zobar, you've broken
many a wild horse,
only so far they've always
been easy ones.
That's so.
You are right.
Listen, Danilo,
a wild horse needs a strong hand.
Will you give me your daughter
in marriage?
Take her, Zobar, if you can.
No one can escape his destiny.
The fastest horse in the world cannot
help you run away from yourself.
l take you for my wife, Rada,
upon my honour,
before your father,
before all our Gypsy
brothers and sisters.
He got a bridle on her!
He's got her! What a man he is!
- You're an idiot!
- Why do you say that?
We'll see who's got a bridle on whom.
l warn you, Rada,
don't go against my will.
Remember, l was born free
and l will go on living as l will.
Oh, Zobar!
What did you do that for?
lt isn't funny, is it?
l think you're safer on horseback.
Yes, l think you're right.
What are you doing that for, girl?
He's my best friend!
- Please help me...
- Get away!
Last night, brothers,
l looked
into my heart.
And l discovered that the old free
life no longer matters to me.
Only Rada matters.
Only she is in my heart.
And so l have decided,
brother Gypsies,
to bow down in front of her,
as she asked me to, to show everyone
that her beauty's conquered Zobar.
l who until now went to any woman
as a stallion goes to a mare.
Ah, Zobar, Zobar...
No, don't go, Chudra.
Stay and watch how Zobar
bows before your Rada.
What a long speech you're making,
Zobar.
Never mind.
Don't be in a hurry.
Now witness this... brothers.
Your hand.
Your hand!
No, Zobar,
you must bow down before me
and kiss my right hand,
as you promised.
Your hand.
No.
Zobar!
Mama...
Mama...
l knew that...
Danilo!
Danilo!
Rada...
l didn't want to...
The EndYou can feel in the air
a moisture like in the grave.
Smells like this from six months.
Gipsies are not like they used to be...
Now they trade their horses for gold.
Who knows more?
The dumb or the wise?
The dumb. The wise
is not suer about anything.
Too much thinking
brings lots of trouble.
What advice can you give me
if we won't meet
