Lyrics of Țărăncuță, Țărăncuță - Dan Spataru

Țărăncuță, Țărăncuță (original)

Cand iese badea la cosit
Iese si mandra la prasit
Si la hora duminica e tot cu ochii dupa ea
Si cand e joc de alunel, mandruta e tot langa el
Pai tarancuta cum e ea
E drept ca Bade i-ar placea
Dar cand ii cauta vorba el
Ea fuge si nu vrea de fel
Dar intr-o zi n-a mai rabdat
Si i-a spus Badea suparat
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
De ce-mi cauti tu pricina
Vrei sa uit ca mi-esti vecina
Cand imi tii calea-ngradina
Noaptea cand e luna-n nor
Tocmai cand e luna-n nor
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu fuiorul prins in brau
Iti merge vestea de sfioasa
Ca te-ncui si ziua-n casa
Daca ziua esti fricoasa
Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
De data asta mai fata
Zi ba-da-proste c-ai scapat
Dar de te prind eu alta-data
Sa stii ca intru in pacat
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
O sa ma aduci in stare
Sa te prind de cingatoare
Ziua in amiaza mare
Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
Ea fraga buzelor i-a dat
Si-apoi l-a luat si de barbat
Si-apoi la nunta au jucat cu toti prietenii din sat
Si au mancat si au baut
Trei zile nunta a tinut
Trecut-au ani si ani de-atunci
Si-acolo in satul dintre lunci
Gospodarie ca a lor si voie buna ca a lor
Nu mai gasesti cat ai cauta
Nu mai gasesti la nimenea
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Te-au nins florile de mar
Nu mai esti tu tinerica
Dar esti inca frumusica
Si-ti sta bine ca mamica
Cu trei fire albe-n par
Cu trei fire albe-n par
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cine e ca tine-n sat
Ai acum o fata mare
Si de ea esti mandra tare
Ca-i din cap pana-n picioare
Cum erai tu altadat'
Cum erai tu altadat'
Pai sa-ti traiasca fetita
Si sa o vezi la casa ei
Si sa-ti traiasca si Badita
Si sa va vad cu nepotei
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
Si ne mai facusi surata 2 baieti pe lang-o fata
Ce vor creste mari odata
Mandri de maicuta lor
Mandri de maïcuta lor

(translation)

When the badea comes out to mow
She goes out and prides herself
And on Sunday the choir is still watching her
And when it's a student's game, the proud one is all next to him
Well, she's as stupid as she is
It's true that Bade would like it
But when he seeks her word
She runs away and doesn't want to
But one day he couldn't wait
And Badea said angrily
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies on the cheeks
Why are you looking for my cause?
You want me to forget you're my neighbor
When you keep my way to the garden
At night when the moon is in the cloud
Just when the moon is in the cloud
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With the string on his belt
The shy news is coming to you
That you lock yourself in the house for the day
If you're scared during the day
What are you doing at night in the stream?
What are you doing at night in the stream?
This time before
You're so stupid that you escaped
But I'll catch you another time
Know that I am entering into sin
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies on the cheeks
You will bring me back
To hold you by the belt
The day at noon
Give me lipstick
Give me lipstick
She smacked his lips
And then she took him as a man
And then at the wedding they played with all the friends from the village
And they ate and drank
The wedding lasted three days
Years and years have passed since then
And there in the village between the meadows
Household like theirs and good will like theirs
You can't find what you're looking for
You can't find anyone else
Tarancuta, tarancuta
The apple blossoms have snowed on you
You're not young anymore
But you're still beautiful
And you're fine as a mom
With three white strands in her hair
With three white strands in her hair
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Who is like you in the village?
You have a big girl now
And you're very proud of her
It's from head to toe
How were you once
How were you once
Well, long live your little girl
And see her at her house
And long live Badita
And to see you with your granddaughter
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies on the cheeks
And you made us smile 2 more boys besides a girl
What will grow big once
Proud of their nun
Proud of their mother
