Translation of the song lyrics Pierduti in Timp - Kepa

Pierduti in Timp (original)

Daca grijile ar arde cu flacara
Multi am avea caldura in case ma
Si daca ar fi sa fie bani pentru toata lumea
Lumea ar fi mai buna, mai sincera
Dar astia toti o ard de-an pulea
Au trecut atatia ani de la revolutie
Si nu, nu tin, nu te minti, mai bine nu ne
Uita-te-n stanga in dreapta, sunt toti ai nostri bre
Ne-a dat viata la palme, pana si-a rupt falangele
Domnu' politician esti tot o zdreanta
Nu te-am vazut in viata mea, dar simt ca te cunosc de-o viata
E o incercare grea, sa ramai integru
Pe aici e saracie, si curcubeul e alb-negru
Si voi la fel ca si comunisti
Ne luati painea de la gura ca nutritionistii
Eu si multi alti ne-am hranit cu Parazitii
Dar pe toti sfinti, ne-ati ingenunchiat parintii
Injuri de sfinti, iti blestemi destinu'
Banca iti ia casa, femeia iti ia copilul
Timpu iti ia anii, stresu sanatatea
Alcoolul mintile, puscaria libertatea
Visezi la un pai pe sezlong in Hawaii
Realitatea te trezeste pe un scaun in tranvai
Viata-i doar o lupta, fericirea-i scumpa
Unii se duc la furat pana-si gasesc de munca
Sa fi roman, asta-i testul suprem
Sa-ti doresti, si sa na-i, dar sa continui sa speri
Dar cui sa-i pese?
Cand fiecare pentru el
Principiile se schimba cand te uiti in portofel
Sistemul te tine ca pe sclavi in beci
Iar cand n-ai nici o optiune atunci esti liber sa alegi
Cu statu' nu-i de joaca, iti ia tot cat ai clipi
Ai grija sa nu mori ca-i bagi pe ai tai in datorii
Tre' sa sti, e greu sa fii mai bun ca ieri
E mai mult decat oferi, vrei mai mult decat ceri
Degeaba speri, regretele te pun la colt
Daca te inseala memoria, tre' sa bagi divort
Injuri de sfinti, iti blestemi destinu'
Banca iti ia casa, femeia iti ia copilul
Timpu iti ia anii, stresu sanatatea
Alcoolul mintile, puscaria libertatea

(translation)

If worries would burn with a flame
Many of us had heat in our houses
And if there were to be money for everyone
The world would be better, more honest
But all of them burn it from year to year
So many years have passed since the revolution
And no, I don't, don't lie, better not us
Look left and right, they are all our brothers
He gave us life in the palm of his hand, until he broke his phalanges
Mister politician, you are still a rag
I haven't seen you in my life, but I feel like I've known you for a lifetime
It's a hard attempt to stay whole
There is poverty here, and the rainbow is black and white
And you as well as communists
You take the bread from our mouth as nutritionists
I and many others fed on Parasites
But all saints, you brought our parents to their knees
You curse the saints, you curse your destiny'
The bank takes your house, the woman takes your child
Time takes years, it stresses your health
Alcohol is the mind, prison is freedom
You dream of a straw on a deckchair in Hawaii
Reality wakes you up on a seat in the tram
Life is just a struggle, happiness is expensive
Some go to steal until they find work
To be Romanian, that is the ultimate test
To wish, and to not have it, but to keep hoping
But who cares?
When to each his own
The principles change when you look in your wallet
The system keeps you as slaves in the dungeon
And when you have no option then you are free to choose
It's not to be played with status, it takes you as many moments as you have
Be careful not to get your parents into debt
You have to know, it's hard to be better than yesterday
It's more than giving, you want more than you ask
You hope in vain, regrets corner you
If your memory is wrong, you have to get a divorce
You curse the saints, you curse your destiny'
The bank takes your house, the woman takes your child
Time takes years, it stresses your health
Alcohol is the mind, prison is freedom
