| Mama (original) | Mama (translation) |
|---|---|
| Cand noaptea intra in odai | When night falls in the room |
| Si lumanarea se aprinde | And the candle lights up |
| Iar pe obraji, din ochii tai | And on your cheeks, from your eyes |
| Incet, o lacrima asfinte | Slowly, a tear fell |
| Si te cufunda in gandiri | And it immerses you in thoughts |
| Ca tine griji cine mai are? | Who cares who else has it? |
| Si cate nopti tu n-ai dormit | And how many nights did you not sleep |
| Pan' m-ai vazut atat de mare… | Until you saw me so big… |
| Mama, mama… nu mai plange, sterge-ti lacrima… | Mom, Mom… Stop crying, wipe away your tears… |
| Mama… nu mai plange, sterge-ti lacrima… | Mother… don't cry anymore, wipe away your tears… |
| Mama… nu mai plange | My mother doesn't cry anymore |
| Mama… mama…mama…mama | Mama… mama… mama… mama |
