It looks to me like the song is about religion. It's Ukranian, which stems back to gypsy folklore. Gypsy's are often linked to Paganism, and when they sing "In the Old Time/ It was not a crime" they're singing about a time where the gypsy, and in the end, Paganism, way of life was not rediculed, but embraced. To me it looks like a song about freedom to be whomever you chose to be, religion, sexual orientation, race, creed, or whatever.
