Paroles et traduction Margineanu - Jana Era Croitoreasa

Jana Era Croitoreasa

Jana era croitoreasă
Jan frizeru' o iubea
Şi-a murit tuberculoasă
Jan frizerul o jelea

Nu mai plânge Jane
Plânsul e de formă
Jana nu e moartă
Jana să transformă.

Şi când a fost la înmormântare
Plângea şi ultimu' calic
Şi când Jănel mai puse o floare
Doamne plângea şi caii dă la dric

Nu mai plânge Jane
Plânsul e de formă
Jana nu e moartă
Jana se transformă.

Colo-n deal la croitorie
Stătea cearceafuri la uscat
Curgea bacilii de fizie
Curgea încet treptat treptat

Nu mai plânge Jane
Plânsul e de formă
Jana nu e moartă
Jana se transformă.

Stă paduchii întinţi la soare
Stă paduchii câte doi
Păi cum stăteau odinioară
Jan şi Jana amandoi.

Nu mai plânge Jane
Plânsul e de formă
Jana nu e moartă
Jana se transformă.

Jana, the Dressmaker

Jana the dressmaker
Jan, the barber, loved her
And she died of consumption
Jan the barber grieved for her

Don't cry any more, Jane
Crying is useless
Jana is not dead
Jana will transform.

And when he was at the funeral
Even the last beggar was crying
And when Jan placed one more flower
My, the horses pulling the hearse were crying

Don't cry any more, Jane
Crying is useless
Jana is not dead
Jana is transforming.

On the hill at the tailor shop
The sheets were drying in the sun
Tuberculosis bacilli were flowing
They were flowing slowly, gradually

Don't cry any more, Jane
Crying is useless
Jana is not dead
Jana is transforming.

The lice lie stretched out in the sun
The lice lie two by two
Just as they lay once upon a time
Jan and Jana, both of you.

Don't cry any more, Jane
Crying is useless
Jana is not dead
Jana is transforming.
