Lyrics of Banii - Pavel Stratan

Banii (original)

Eu cu fratele si sora din saltarc de la masa
I-am furat lu' tata banii si-am fugit de acasa
N-or trecut nici 2 zile tata cand ii cata
Banii nu mai sunt acolo unde-au fost odata
Unde-s banii ma intreaba tata cu rabdare
Nu stiu tata, stie poate fratele mai mare
Poate banii din saltar i-o mancat vreo mata
Poate Ghita stie unde-s, haidem la dansul
Dar in timpul asta Ghita curata o nuca
Cand o vazut ca tata vine o incercat sa fuga
Tata cand o vazut ca fuge l-o palit cu palma
Ghita n-o dovedit macar, sa strige… mama
Tata mult nu rabda si incepe sa se-nerveze
Dupa ce degeaba Ghita o luat-o-n freza
Vrei sa numeri bani dar daca nu-s nu poti sa ii numeri
Tata se uita la noi, noi strangeam din umeri
Gata tata stiu, in urma cu vreo doua zile
Pe la noi pe acasa ziua o trecut Vasile
Chiar si azi l-am vazut la apa se ducea cu manzul
Poate el de bani sa stie, haidem la dansul
Merge tot ca pe rotile cand speranta creste
Am ajuns si la Vasile cat ai zice «peste»
Fara nici o galagie se petrece drama
Daca si ceva se aude, se aude… mama
Banu' nu usor se face dar usor se pierde
Mai ales in casa daca ai in cine crede
Nu zic, poate pe la altii altfel merge roata
Cel putin asa se intampla intre noi si tata
Unde noi ne-om duce parca invers bate vantul
Gandul nostru cu al tatei — cerul si pamantul
Ne-ntorceam incet spre casa tata in partea stanga
Fratele mai mare dupa, eu cu sora langa
Dar in timpul asta, timpul parca o vrut sa steie
Multe usi or fost deschise asta n-are cheie
De-as putea vreo data in viata as intoarce anii
Macar ca sa ii spun lui tata, unde-s…baniï

(translation)

My brother and sister jumped from the table
I stole my father's money and ran away from home
It wasn't even 2 days before my father saw them
The money is no longer where it once was
Dad asks me patiently where the money is
I don't know Dad, maybe my older brother knows
Maybe the money from the mattress was eaten by some mate
Maybe Ghita knows where I am, let's go to the dance
But during this time Ghita cleans a walnut
When she saw her father coming, she tried to run away
When my father saw her running away, he slapped her
Ghita didn't even prove it, to shout… mom
Dad doesn't have much patience and starts to get nervous
After vainly Ghita took it in the mill
You want to count money, but if you don't, you can't count it
Dad was looking at us, we were shrugging
Dad, I know, about two days ago
Vasile spent the day at our house
Even today I saw him at the water going with the foal
Maybe he knows the money, let's go to the dance
It goes on like wheels when hope grows
I got to Vasile as you would say "over"
The drama takes place without any fuss
If something is heard, it is heard… mother
Money is not easy to make but easy to lose
Especially at home if you have someone to believe in
I'm not saying, maybe the wheel works differently for others
At least that's what happens between us and Dad
Where we go as if the wind were blowing in the opposite direction
Our thoughts with my father's - heaven and earth
We were slowly returning to my father's house on the left
Big brother after me and my sister next to me
But during this time, time seemed to want her to stay
Many doors have been opened, this is not the key
If I could ever go back in my life, I would go back in time
At least to tell Dad where the money is
