Paroles et traduction Pavel Stratan - Când eram mitel

Când eram mitel

Cand eram mitel, tata ma batea,
Nu stiu pentru ce, dar sora ma pisa si ea
Parca tot faceam ca lumea, peste tot dov deam,
Curatel era prin curte si la pui dadeam.
Nu mai zic de rati, porci erau vreo trei
Nu mai zic de vaca Floarea si vitelul ei,
Rata o duceam la balts, vaca la paduri,
Nici de porci nu stam in laturi, le fierbeam laturi.
De cate ori ma uit la cineva mitel,
De-atatea ori mi-aduc aminte... parca-s el,
S-asa de tare-as vrea sa fiu in locul lui,
Dar inteleg ca-i prea tarziu, si ce-a fost de-acum nu-i!
Si-asa de tare-as vrea sa fiu in locul lui macar un ceas de vreme,
Dar inteleg ca-i prea tarziu si ce-a fost de-acum nu-i.
Anii imi cuprind varsta tot mai greu
Cand ms uit nu-mi vine-a crede ca acesta-s eu.
Cel care fugeam de-acasa la ciresii copti,
Unde imi faceam parintii sa nu doarma nopti.

When I Was Little

When I was little, my father used to beat me,
I don't know why, but my sister used to piss on me too,
It seemed like I was always doing something wrong, I was always getting into trouble,
There was always a mess in the yard, and I was always giving the chickens food.
Not to mention the ducks, there were about three pigs,
Not to mention the cow Floarea and her calf,
I used to take the duck to the pond, the cow to the forest,
And I didn't stay away from the pigs, I used to boil slop for them.
Every time I look at a little kid,
I remember all those times... it's like I'm him,
And I wish so much that I could be in his place,
But I understand that it's too late, and what's done is done!
And I wish so much that I could be in his place for at least an hour,
But I understand that it's too late and what's done is done.
The years are weighing down on me more and more,
When I look back, I can't believe that this is me.
The one who used to run away from home to the cherry trees,
Where I used to make my parents stay up all night.
