| Era o data un catelus frumos
| He was once a beautiful puppy
|
| indragostit peste urechi,
| in love over the ears,
|
| de o catelusa care nu credea in basme vechi
| by a puppy who didn't believe in old fairy tales
|
| De atata dragoste catelul avea versuri,
| For so much love the puppy had lyrics,
|
| ne mai vorbid ca ce vorbea,
| I'm still talking about what he's talking about,
|
| vorbea deja in versuri.
| he was already speaking in verse.
|
| Ca de atatea ori de unde aparea aveai senzatia ca dicteaza cand mergea la brat
| Like so many times where he came from, you had the feeling that he was dictating when he was walking on his arm
|
| cu ea,
| with her,
|
| iar cuvintele lui sa intelegi cat erau de grele trebuia pe acelasi cantat sa
| and to understand how heavy his words were, he had to sing them the same way
|
| pui un cer cu stele
| you put a starry sky
|
| Dar toate astea pentru dansa cantarea un pic ea visa la fericire dar nu primea
| But all this for dancing singing a little she dreamed of happiness but did not receive
|
| nimic
| nothing
|
| De unde sa stie ea ca fericita fii
| How does she know she's happy?
|
| numai cautand doar pentru alti ea te va gasi.
| only by looking for others will she find you.
|
| Si uite ca intr-o zi cretu ii spune creta:
| And behold, one day he says chalk to him:
|
| «de vrei sa ma cuceresti imi aduce rata
| "If you want to conquer me, bring me the rate
|
| te duci acolo pac-pac, ai deschis, gata rata,
| you go there pac-pac, you've opened, you're done,
|
| ai bagat-o in sac mi-o aduci si gata»
| you put it in the bag, you bring it to me and you're done »
|
| Refren:
| Chorus:
|
| Catelus cu parul cret
| Curly-haired puppy
|
| Fura rata din cotet
| He stole the duck from the cottage
|
| El se jura ca nu fura
| He swears he doesn't steal
|
| Dar l-am prins cu rata in gura
| But I caught him with the duck in my mouth
|
| Dar la moment acum faptele sunt mai marete Satula catelusa de vorbe ca de mere
| But at the moment the facts are bigger Satula puppy of words like apples
|
| padurete
| wild
|
| Catelul increzut insine isi pregateste saltul stind ca daca nu incearca el,
| The arrogant puppy himself prepares his jump, stating that if he does not try,
|
| o sa incerce altu
| will try another
|
| Pe alocuri focuri il incearca des dar trecand pe langa,
| In some places fires often try it but passing by,
|
| in dreapta inima ii se bate, defapt in partea stanga
| on the right his heart beats, in fact on the left
|
| Iubirea ii se pare dar totusi dulce el,
| Love seems to him but still sweet,
|
| uitand pentru o clipa cand s-o fi nascut si pentru ce.
| forgetting for a moment when she was born and why.
|
| Cu cat mai multa noapte e cu atat mai multa luna
| The longer the night, the longer the moon
|
| E mare riscul dar si catelusa e buna-buna
| It's a big risk, but the puppy is also good
|
| Sosind la locul cu pricina senzatia e strimptina
| Arriving at the place in question, the sensation is strange
|
| Avand nevoie el de vreo mana
| He needed a hand
|
| Ca di cultura de grindina
| As for hail culture
|
| Numai ca din pacate socoteala cum se spune cu cea de acasa aia din targ nu se
| Only, unfortunately, the account, as they say with the one at home at the fair, is not known
|
| presupune
| assume
|
| De unde sa stie el ca rata o sa-i arate ce inseamna sa detii centura neagra la
| How will he know that the duck will show him what it means to own a black belt at
|
| karate
| karate
|
| Refren:
| Chorus:
|
| Catelus cu parul cret
| Curly-haired puppy
|
| Ia bataie in cotet
| Take a beating in the cottage
|
| El se jura ca in viata
| He swears he is alive
|
| Nu maïcalca pe la rata | Don't step on the duck |
