| Merge elefantul singur, seara pe alee
| The elephant walks alone on the alley in the evening
|
| O furnica-i da din mana, chipurile sa steie
| An ant shakes his hand, apparently to stay
|
| El macar nu se uita si nici n-are frica,
| He doesn't even look or be afraid,
|
| Dar furnica cheama inca o furnica
| But the ant calls another ant
|
| Unde-s doi puterea creste spune-o vorba veche
| Where there is power increases, say the old saying
|
| Ai fi tu elefant, dar daca n-ai pereche ii greu
| You would be an elephant, but if you don't have a mate, it's hard
|
| Situatia ii tot mai mult o ploaie,
| The situation is getting more and more rainy,
|
| Furnica-i hotarata sa-l ieie la bataie.
| The ant is determined to beat him.
|
| -Pe elefant?
| -An elephant?
|
| -Pe elefant sa ne-nteleaga!
| - Let the elephant understand us!
|
| -Exista lege.
| -There is a law.
|
| -Exista lege, dar nu leaga
| -There is a law, but it does not bind
|
| -Nu te supara,
| -No offense,
|
| Vede elefantul cum ca treaba-i tot mai sluta,
| He sees the elephant as if it's getting slower,
|
| Cheama garda, dar nici garda sigur nu-i ajuta.
| He calls the guard, but the guard certainly doesn't help either.
|
| Poate-ar fi mai bine sa se impace cu furinca
| Maybe it would be better to reconcile with the fury
|
| Ca daca nu, nu-i mai ajuta, nici Baba-Nica
| If not, Baba-Nica won't help them either
|
| In sfarsit, dupa atatea conditii puse
| Finally, after so many conditions
|
| Elefantul cade de acord cu partile opuse.
| The elephant agrees with the opposing parties.
|
| Dar la urma situatia cand era mai calma
| But in the end, the situation was calmer
|
| Furnica pe neprins de veste, cand ii arde-o palma! | The ant suddenly catches the news, when his palm burns! |
