Paroles et traduction Pavel Stratan - Țigara

Țigara

Cand prima data din ograda
Au vrut sa-mi deie drumu-n drum,
Eu am aflat unde sa afla
Tu numai spune-mi cum sa-i spun,
Cum se numeste pe deal ce creste?
Cu frunza mare o cunosc
De la un kilometru-drum,
Suceste-o in ceva hartie,
Tu da-i scanteie, ea-ti da fum
Si costa scump? Nu! Unu de 1.
Eu vreau sa lepad,
Dar nu stiu cum.
Nu dati la nimeni
Drumu-n drum!
Ori de cate ori pachetu′
L-am botit si de Sin Chetru (Sf. Petru)
Eu am zis,
Dar vad ca nu leaga.
Cine a suferit cunoaste,
Cine s-a ferit, nu paste
Iarba ...Nu! Ea n-o sa te aleaga!
Mi-aduc aminte cum acela
Care ne-a-nvatat pe tat
Acum incearca sa ma invete
Cum sa fac sa ma dezvat
Si costa scump?...Nu! Unu de 1.
El zice ca in primul rand
Si intr-al doilea, daca esti,
Cu-o mana-ncet spre gura cand
O duci, cu alta o opresti.
- Si costa ieftin?
- Aproape ieftin!
Eu vreau sa lepad
Si de-acum stiu cum,
Si pentru asta
La toti dati drumu-n drum.

The Cigarette

When I first left my yard
They wanted to send me on my way,
I found out where to find it
Just tell me how to tell it,
What's the name of what grows on the hill?
I know it by its big leaves
From a mile away,
Roll it up in some paper,
You light it up, it gives you smoke
And how much does it cost? Not much!
I want to quit,
But I don't know how.
Don't give anyone
Your way out!
Every time I finish a pack
I have prayed to St. Peter
I said,
But I see it's not working.
Those who have suffered know,
Those who have avoided it, won't fall
Grass...No! It won't choose you!
I remember how that guy
Who taught us how to do it
Is now trying to teach me
How to quit
And how much does it cost?...Not much!
He says that first of all
And secondly, if you are,
When you slowly reach for your mouth
With one hand, stop it with the other.
- And is it cheap?
- Almost cheap!
I want to quit
And now I know how,
And for that,
I'll let everyone go.
