Paroles et traduction Pavel Stratan - Peste ani cincizeci

Peste ani cincizeci

Bate tata vrana la butoi
Si ascunde cheia de la beci
Da′ eu stau si curat papusoi
Si ma uit acolo unde,
Unde tata o ascunde.
Nu stiu dac-ar exista vreun loc
Unde s-ar putea sa n-o gasesc
Doar sa-i deie drumu-n poloboc
Dar si de-acolo cred c-as scoate-o
Bate vrana ori nu bate-o!
Deseara iara toti in drum
Ne gramadim care si cum
Sa mai petrecem inc-o seara
Care, niciodata, e clar ca
Inapoi n-o sa se-ntoarca.
Eu stiu ca peste ani cincizeci
Vor scoate altii vin din beci.
Si altii o sa aiba parte
Sa steie-n locul nostru,
Dar noi in alta parte
Nu mai bate tata vrana, nu!
Da lacata las-o-n treaba ei,
Ca de varsta mea ai fost si tu.
Hai mai bine-n drum cu mine
Sa cinstim pe toti vecinii.
Las-sa creada lumea ca la noi
Izvoraste vinul in butoi
Si de fericire ca traim,
Hai sa bem din vinul rece,
Sa uitam ca viata trece!

Over Fifty Years

The raven pecks at the barrel
And hides the key to the cellar
But I sit and clean corn
And I look where,
Where my father hides it.
I don't know if there is any place
Where I can't find it
Only let him go in a cellar
But I think I'd get it out of there
Whether the raven pecks or not!
Tonight we are all in the street again
We hurry how and where
To spend one more evening
Which, it is clear,
Will never return.
I know that in fifty years
Others will take wine from the cellar.
And others will have a share
To stand in our place,
But we are elsewhere
Don't peck the raven, dad, no!
Leave the lock doing its job
Because you were my age.
Come on with me
To toast all the neighbors.
Let the world think that
Wine springs up in our barrel
And for the happiness that we live
Let's drink from the cold wine
To forget that life passes!
