Lyrics of Elefantul Si Furnica - Cleopatra Stratan

Elefantul Si Furnica (original)

Merge elefantul singur, seara pe alee
O furnica-i da din mana, chipurile sa steie
El macar nu se uita si nici n-are frica,
Dar furnica cheama inca o furnica
Unde-s doi puterea creste spune-o vorba veche
Ai fi tu elefant, dar daca n-ai pereche ii greu
Situatia ii tot mai mult o ploaie,
Furnica-i hotarata sa-l ieie la bataie.
-Pe elefant?
-Pe elefant sa ne-nteleaga!
-Exista lege.
-Exista lege, dar nu leaga
-Nu te supara,
Vede elefantul cum ca treaba-i tot mai sluta,
Cheama garda, dar nici garda sigur nu-i ajuta.
Poate-ar fi mai bine sa se impace cu furinca
Ca daca nu, nu-i mai ajuta, nici Baba-Nica
In sfarsit, dupa atatea conditii puse
Elefantul cade de acord cu partile opuse.
Dar la urma situatia cand era mai calma
Furnica pe neprins de veste, cand ii arde-o palma!

(translation)

The elephant walks alone on the alley in the evening
An ant shakes his hand, apparently to stay
He doesn't even look or be afraid,
But the ant calls another ant
Where there is power increases, say the old saying
You would be an elephant, but if you don't have a mate, it's hard
The situation is getting more and more rainy,
The ant is determined to beat him.
-An elephant?
- Let the elephant understand us!
-There is a law.
-There is a law, but it does not bind
-No offense,
He sees the elephant as if it's getting slower,
He calls the guard, but the guard certainly doesn't help either.
Maybe it would be better to reconcile with the fury
If not, Baba-Nica won't help them either
Finally, after so many conditions
The elephant agrees with the opposing parties.
But in the end, the situation was calmer
The ant suddenly catches the news, when his palm burns!
