Translation of the song lyrics De Ce? - Cleopatra Stratan

De Ce? (original)

Ma intereseaza totul ce se petrece’n jurul meu
De ce il vad plangand pe tata cand canta despre tatal sau
De ce?
De ce?
De ce tot se vorbeste’n lume precum ca viatza scurta e
Dar nimeni nu ne poate spune in comparatzie cu ce
De ce?
De ce?
Ref: E’o simpla intrebare
Dar s’o intzeleg mai e un pik
Mai e
Pan' ma voi face mare
Acum nu intzeleg nimic
De ce?
De ce pe tata’l aud cantand precum ca bea non-stop
Dar nicioadata nu l’am vazut sa ba shi el macar un strop
De ce?
De ce?
De ce ne trebuie 2 ani pentru a invatza de la parinti
Iar 50 sa tinem limba dupa dinti?
De ce?
De ce?
Ref…
E’o simpla intrebare
Dar s’o intzeleg mai e un pik
Mai e
Pan' ma voi face mare
Acum nu intzeleg nïmïc
De ce?

(translation)

I'm interested in everything that's going on around me
Why do I see my father crying when he sings about his father
Why?
Why?
Why the world is talking about how short life is
But no one can tell us what
Why?
Why?
Ref: It's a simple question
But if I understand it, it's still a pike
Longer
Until I grow up
Now I don't understand anything
Why?
Why do I hear my dad sing like he's drinking all the time?
But I've never seen him take a drop
Why?
Why?
Why do we need 2 years to learn from our parents
And 50 to keep our tongue behind our teeth?
Why?
Why?
Ref…
It's a simple question
But if I understand it, it's still a pike
Longer
Until I grow up
Now I don't understand anything
Why?
