Armata - Pavel Stratan Übersetzung ins Englische

Armata

Bun gasit! Va scriu din departari, de unde fac armata,
Tot e bine si frumos, da′ tot mai bine-i in sat.
Complimente dau intregii tari, dar mai ales lu' tata.
Eu inca de ieri am vrut sa va scriu, da′ nu eram asa de beat...
R.:
Dorm dimineata pan' la zece,
Dupa zece beu...
Vreau - nu vreau, da' timpul trece
In folosul meu.
Doua saptamani am implinit de cand mi-am dat cuvantul
Ca am sa fiu asa cum tre′ sa fiu, si uite: ca pan′ azi
Inca nimeni dintre ofiteri n-a reusit s'ma prinda,
Pan′ atunci, de-atunci, si pan' amu macar o data treaz!
R.:
Dorm dimineata pan′ la zece,
Dupa zece beu...
Vreau - nu vreau, da' timpul trece
In folosul meu.
Am trei lucruri care fir cu fir ma caracterizeaza
Poate de vi se pare ca-s usoare, dar sa le faci e greu:
Sa mananci, sa bei si sa te uiti la altii cum lucreaza,
Mai ales daca aceia altii lucreaza-n locul tau!
R.:
Dorm dimineata pan′ la zece,
Dupa zece beu...
Vreau - nu vreau, da' timpul trece
In folosul meu.
Cam atata am avut de spus, mai beu ceva si... nani
Dac' aveti nevoie de parale, trimiteti saci vreo cinci
Daca n-aveti saci, probleme nu-s: trimiteti macar banii!
Ca de′o vorba: saci de-acei de-ai nostri gasesc ei si pe-aici.
R.:
Dorm dimineata pan′ la zece,
Dupa zece beau...
Vreau - nu vreau, da' timpul trece
In folosul meu.

Armata

Nice to meet you! I'm writing to you from afar, where I'm doing military service,
Everything is good and beautiful, but it's still better in the village.
I give compliments to the whole country, but especially to my father.
I wanted to write to you yesterday, but I wasn't that drunk...
R.:
I sleep until ten in the morning,
After ten I drink...
Whether I want to or not, time passes
For my benefit.
I have completed two weeks since I gave my word
That I would be as I should be, and look: until today
Still none of the officers have managed to catch me,
Until then, since then, and until now at least once sober!
R.:
I sleep until ten in the morning,
After ten I drink...
Whether I want to or not, time passes
For my benefit.
I have three things that characterize me thread by thread
Perhaps it seems to you that they are easy, but it is difficult to do them:
To eat, to drink and to watch others work,
Especially if those others work in your place!
R.:
I sleep until ten in the morning,
After ten I drink...
Whether I want to or not, time passes
For my benefit.
That's about all I had to say, I'll have another drink and... nighty-night.
If you need money, send about five sacks
If you don't have any sacks, no problem: just send the money!
As they say: we can find sacks like ours here too.
R.:
I sleep until ten in the morning,
After ten I drink...
Whether I want to or not, time passes
For my benefit.
