Paroles et traduction Pavel Stratan - O Secunda

O Secunda

Ii bine acasa da eu plec
In spate usa s-o inchis
Nu imi pasa
Stiu prin ce o sa trec
Eu cred ca asa
Imi o fost prescris
De ajuns cat mama m-o crescut
De ajuns cat altii m-o furat
Eu plec sa-mi caut ce am pierdut
De fapt ce n-am si am meritat
O secunda
Sa-o vad pe mama mea zambind
Cum face si in alte dati
O secunda
Sa-l vad pe tata linestit
Macar amu la batrineti
O secunda
Sa aud ca sora ca o ajuns
Acolo unde s-o pornit
O secunda
Sa-mi spuna fratele intr-o zi
Ca el e cel mai fericit
M-a intrebi la vama ce am ascuns
"Ascuns am limba dupa dinti"
Un nod in gat imi pui strans
Si imi sufli dorul de parinti
Ma trec fiori peste Prut
Speranta imi spune "Fii barbat"
Eu plec sa-mi caut ce am pierdut
De fapt ce n-am si am meritat

One Second

I know home is best, but I'm leaving
I closed the door behind me
I don't care
I know what I'll go through
I think this is the way it
Was meant to be
I've had enough of being raised by my mother
I've had enough of others taking advantage of me
I'm leaving to find what I've lost
Actually, what I've never had but deserved
One second
To see my mother smile
Like she does so often
One second
To see my father at peace
At least now in his old age
One second
To hear that my sister has achieved her dreams
Where she set out to
One second
To hear my brother tell me one day
That he's the happiest man alive
At customs, they'll ask me what I'm hiding
"I'm hiding my tongue behind my teeth"
A lump in my throat tightens its grip
And I'm overwhelmed by longing for my parents
Crossing the Prut River gives me goosebumps
Hope whispers to me, "Be a man"
I'm leaving to find what I've lost
Actually, what I've never had but deserved
