Lyrics of Dragi Prieteni, Sus Paharul! - Gica Petrescu

Dragi Prieteni, Sus Paharul! (original)

Dragi prieteni, sus paharul, sa ne-nveselim;
Pentru sanatatea noastra cu toti sa ciocnim;
Pune-ti grijile de-o parte, puneti-le-n cui,
Si cu cin' mi-e drag pornesc prin Bucuresti haihui.
La Baneasa la sosea sau chiar la Doi Cocosi,
De ciocniti un paharel cat sunteti sanatosi,
Sa nu mergeti cu masina, de bucluc sa dati,
Politaiu va pune, neica, sa suflati.
La sfarsit de saptamana, un sprit nu-i pacat,
Si cu bateria-n fata te simti mai barbat.
Da de nu sa bei apa sau chiar ceai,
C-altfel te faci locatar cu domiciliu-n rai.
lailailalalalai lailailalalalai…
Dragi prieteni, sus paharul, sa ciocnim cu toti,
Pentru soata sau copii si chiar pentru nepoti;
De bei vin rozet tu o sa vezi viata in roz,
Chiar si sfanta din poveste e frumoasa coz.
De bei Riesling sau Feteasca te crezi mai voinic,
Si te vezi inalt si chipes cat ai fi de mic;
Ai mai vrea sa ai si forta uriasului
Cand bei vin Puterea Ursului.
De bei vin de razaclaclie o sa uiti pe loc
Ca ai fost certat cu socrul si-l saruti cu foc;
De nevasta ti-e plinuta, o vezi c-a slabit,
Iara soacra ca-i frumoasa si cam tineric'.
lailailalalalai lailailalalalai…
Hei, hei, ha.
tine-o asa… n-o lasa…

(translation)

Dear friends, up with the glass, let us rejoice;
For our health we all clash;
Put your worries aside, put them in your hands,
And with what I love, I'm leaving through Bucharest.
At Baneasa on the road or even at Doi Cocosi,
If you have a glass while you are healthy,
Don't go by car, don't worry,
Politaiu will make you breathe.
At the end of the week, a spirit is not a sin,
And with the battery in front of you, you feel more manly.
If you don't drink water or even tea,
Otherwise you become a tenant with a home in heaven.
lailailalalalai lailailalalalai…
Dear friends, up with the glass, let's all clash,
For wife or children and even for grandchildren;
If you drink rosé wine, you will see life in pink,
Even the saint in the story has a beautiful tail.
Do you think you are stronger than Riesling or Feteasca,
And you look tall and handsome as a child;
You also want to have the strength of the giant
When you drink, the Power of the Bear comes.
If you drink wine, you'll forget about it
That you were quarreling with your father-in-law and kissing him with fire;
Your wife is full, you see she's lost weight,
And the mother-in-law is beautiful and a bit young '.
lailailalalalai lailailalalalai…
Hey, hey, ha.
keep it that way… don't leave it
