Paroles et traduction Pavel Stratan - La City

La City

Odata seara
De pasca lunec un tarnic,
Aprind tigara,
La nime-o buchie nu zic,
Si stau cuminte,
Eu vreau la City′.
Numai acolo se-ntampla tot din tot ce vreu,
Numai acolo
Te duci si tu, ma duc si eu.
Papusi ca floarea
Cand vad, in doua ma indoi,
Ma ia 'salvarea′,
Dar ma aduce inapoi.
Acolo unde, nu ai cand,
Cand macar s te gandesti in gand
Ce se intampla-n tampla-atunci
Cand vrei s-ajungi
Acolo unde, nu numai se uita,
Da s te vad,
Acolo, unde nu numai te-asculta,
Da s te cred,
Acolo unde, nu numai te-ntreaba,
Da si-ti dau raspuns,
De unde singur te-ai pornit
Si unde ai ajuns.
Acolo unde, n-ai pentru ce sa te feresti,
Cand esti la 'City',
Tu esti mai liber decat esti,
Acolo unde, n-ai pentru ce s′te dai in dos,
Acolo unde, toti se duc,
De unde numeni nu s-a-ntors.
Cu bani?
De unde?
Odata-n piata
Cu o tiganca cap in cap,
Ea: ′Hai la siti!',
Sa-i zic ceva? Mai bine tac.
Te pui cu dansii!
Dar parca nu m-a luat in ras,
Eu nu stiu unde,
Da-mi pare ca la ′City'-a zis.
Eu is cuminti,
Dar daca trebu′ noi 'vorbim′!
Ai vrut la 'City'?
Deseara-acolo ne-ntalnim.
Tiganca rade,
Si eu cand am vazut radeam,
Ea vinde site,
Dar eu la ′City′ ma gandeam,
Acolo unde, daca vrai,
Traind, sa vezi ce-nseamna Rai,
Unde si fete si baiet
Danseaza tat!

La City

One night
At Easter, a young guy, is passing by,
Lights a cigarette,
He doesn't say no to an occasional joint,
And keeps quiet,
I want to go to City′.
Only there happens everything I want,
Only there
You go too, I go too.
Dolls like flowers
When I see them, I'm doubled over,
The ambulance takes me,
But it brings me back.
There, where you don't have time,
When you even think in your mind
What happens at the temple then
When you want to get there
There, where they don't just look,
But they see you,
There, where they don't just listen to you,
But they believe you,
There, where they don't just ask you,
But they give you an answer,
Where you started from alone
And where you ended up.
There, where you don't have to hide,
When you're at 'City',
You're freer than you are,
There, where you don't have to back down,
There, where everyone goes,
From where no one has returned.
With money?
Where from?
Once at the market
With a gypsy woman, cap to cap,
She: 'Come to the site!',
Should I say something? I'd rather keep quiet.
You're messing with them!
But she didn't seem to laugh at me,
I don't know where,
But it seems to me she said 'City'.
I'm a good boy,
But if we need to, we'll 'talk'!
Did you want to go to 'City'?
We'll meet there tonight.
The gypsy laughs,
And when I saw it, I laughed,
She sells sites,
But I was thinking of 'City',
There, if you want,
Living, to see what Heaven means,
Where both girls and boys
Dance like crazy!
