| Imi aduc aminte cand
| I remember when
|
| Ii faceam la matza vant
| I was making them windy
|
| Si zbura ca pasarea
| And it flies like a bird
|
| Dar pica ca mazarea de pe casa-n jos
| But it fell like peas on the house downstairs
|
| Si daca matza mai traia
| And if Matza was still alive
|
| Si daca mai putea mergea
| And if he could still walk
|
| Noi de coditza moale
| New soft cod
|
| Legam conserve goale
| We tie empty cans
|
| Si tot era frumos, frumos…
| And everything was beautiful, beautiful…
|
| Mama mea, tatal meu
| My mother, my father
|
| Nu ma bateti nu-s de vina eu
| Don't beat me, it's not my fault
|
| Matza cred ca singura vrea
| I think Matza only wants to
|
| Sa se-nvete a zbura
| Learn to fly
|
| Drept ca fratele jos
| Just like brother down
|
| Trebuia s-o prinda dar n-o fost
| She was supposed to be caught, but she wasn't
|
| Si matza cand ne vede
| And matza when he sees us
|
| Nici amu' nu-i vine-a crede
| He can't even believe it
|
| Ca ase ceva o fost.
| It was like something.
|
| Si matza cand ne vede
| And matza when he sees us
|
| Nici amu' nu-i vine-a crede
| He can't even believe it
|
| Ca ase ceva o fost.
| It was like something.
|
| Unde-s Doamne zilele
| Where are the days of God?
|
| Cand ne scaldam cu canele
| When we bathe with cups
|
| Cand el la suprafata vrea
| When he wants to surface
|
| Dat noi cu-o atza il mai tineam sub val
| Given that we were still holding him under the wave
|
| Si canele facea 'Bul-bul'
| And the cups made 'Bul-bul'
|
| Dar noi radeam ca cei nebuni
| But we laughed like crazy
|
| Si printre apa verde vedeam ca nu se vede
| And among the green water I could see that it was not visible
|
| Noi scoteam la mal la mal.
| We were going from bad to worse.
|
| Mama mea, tatal meu
| My mother, my father
|
| Nu ma bateti, nu-s de vina eu
| Don't beat me, it's not my fault
|
| Canele cred ca singur vrea
| The cups I think he wants alone
|
| Sa invete a-nota
| To learn the note
|
| Drept ca fratele o vrut ca sa-l scoata
| As if her brother wanted her out
|
| Cred ca n-o putut
| I don't think she could
|
| Si canele cand ne vede
| And the canes when he sees us
|
| Nici amu' nu-i vine-a crede
| He can't even believe it
|
| Cata apa o baut.
| How much water do I drink?
|
| Si canele cand ne vede
| And the canes when he sees us
|
| Nici amu' nu-i vïne-a crede
| He couldn't believe it
|
| Cata apa o baut. | How much water do I drink? |
