Copilăria

I:
Imi aduc aminte cand
Ii faceam la matza vant
Si zbura ca pasarea
Dar pica ca mazarea de picase jos
Si daca matza mai traia
Si daca mai putea mergea
Noi de coditza moale
Legam conserve goale
Si tot era frumos, frumos...
Mama mea, tatal meu
Nu ma bateti nu-s de vina eu
Matza cred ca singura vrea
Sa se-nvete a zbura
Drept ca fratele jos
Trebuia s-o prinda dar n-o fost
Si matza cand ne vede
Nici amu′ nu-i vine-a crede
Ca ase ceva o fost.
Si matza cand ne vede
Nici amu' nu-i vine-a crede
Ca ase ceva o fost.
Unde-s doamne zilele
Cand ne scaldam cu canele
Cand el la suprafata vrea
Dat noi cu-o atza il mai tineam sub val
Si canele facea ′bul-bul'
Dar noi radeam ca cei nebuni
Si printre apa verde vedeam ca nu se vede
Noi scoteam la mal la mal.
Mama mea, tatal meu
Nu ma bateti, nu-s de vina eu
Canele cred ca singur vrea
Sa invete a-nota
Drept ca fratele o vrut ca sa-l scoata
Cred ca n-o putut
Si canele cand ne vede
Nici amu' nu-i vine-a crede
Cata apa o baut.
Si canele cand ne vede
Nici amu′ nu-i vine-a crede
Cata apa o baut.

Childhood

I:
I remember when
I used to fan the cat
And it would fly like a bird
But it would fall like a pea and crash to the ground
And if the cat was still alive
And if it could still walk
We would tie empty cans
To its soft tail
And it was still beautiful, beautiful...
My mother, my father
Don't beat me, it's not my fault
I think the cat just wants
To learn how to fly
Just like my brother below
He had to catch it but he didn't
And the cat when it sees us
Still doesn't believe it
That such a thing happened.
And the cat when it sees us
Still doesn't believe it
That such a thing happened.
Where are the days
When we bathed with the dogs
When he wanted to be on the surface
But we would hold him under the water with a string
And the dog would make 'bubbles'
But we laughed like crazy
And through the green water we saw that he couldn't see
We brought him to the shore, to the shore.
My mother, my father
Don't beat me, it's not my fault
I think the dog just wants
To learn how to swim
Just like my brother wanted to get him out
I guess he couldn't
And the dog when it sees us
Still doesn't believe it
How much water it drank.
And the dog when it sees us
Still doesn't believe it
How much water it drank.
