Lyrics of Balada firului de iarba - Ducu Bertzi

Balada firului de iarba (original)

Lumina se topeste in dusumele
Intre acei pereti spoiti cu ger
Si te aflam de-a dreapta vietii mele
Un fir de iarba calator spre cer
Plutea prin casa o mireasma dulce
De datina de iarna si de brad
Iar stelele uitau sa se mai culce
Pe malul Izei dincolo de vad
La capriori se asterneau in iures
Flori moi de fildes dintr-un cer catin
S-acel marunt catun din Maramures
Ni se parea cioplit in infinit
Si-n casa daruita pe cuvant
Te banuiam printr-o laptoasa ceata
Un fir de iarba indoit sub vant
Dui si iara dui
Nopate peste grui
Fir de iarba amarui
Dui si iara duЇ

(translation)

The light melts in the floor
Between those frost-strewn walls
And we find you on the right side of my life
A blade of grass travels to the sky
There was a sweet smell in the house
Of winter and fir tradition
And the stars forgot to go to bed
On the bank of the Iza beyond the ford
The deer lay in jurassic
Soft ivory flowers from a sea buckthorn sky
It's that little hamlet in Maramures
It seemed infinitely carved to us
And in the house given the word
I suspected you in a milky mist
A blade of grass bent in the wind
Two and two again
Night over the crane
Bitter grass
Two and two again
