This is what Ruby was saying in Romani in Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders fans were so happy to see Tommy Shelby and the gang back on the BBC last night [27 February], but in many ways the episode left viewers with more questions than answers about their future.

The final scene saw Lizzie telling Tommy that their daughter, Ruby, had fallen ill with a fever, and had been repeating the Romani words, "Tickna mora o'beng".

"[She] kept saying these gypsy words, 'tickna mora… tickna mora o'beng, o'beng' over and over," Lizzie (Natasha O'Keeffe) explains to Tommy, adding that she could see "a man with green eyes."

Tommy (played by Cillian Murphy) commanded Lizzie keep Ruby out of school and away from the river and horses, as well as having a Black Madonna placed around her neck.

While fans on social media have been speculating about what the words mean, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has now revealed all. "It's difficult to translate from the Romani, but it means 'devil'," he told Digital Spy.

"It means a bit more than that, but yeah. So it's not good. It's not a good thing."

He later told, Den of Geek "Tommy's biggest fear is that [the devil is] him, but it's not. Tommy in series six, and to an extent series five, discovers that he's a good man when he comes across something more evil than him.

"And when he does come across that evil – which is Fascism – he discovers that actually, he will do things against his own interest, to prevent that from happening, which I think is one definition of being good."

Interestingly, this Fascism is presumably a link to Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), who has green eyes - much like the man in Ruby's dream.
