Lyrics of Tarancuta, tarancuta - Pepe

Tarancuta, tarancuta (original)

Cand iese badea la cosit
Iese si mandra la prasit
Si la hora duminica e tot cu ochii dupa ea
Si cand e joc de alunel, mandruta e tot langa el
Pai tarancuta cum e ea
E drept ca Bade i-ar placea
Dar cand ii cauta vorba el
Ea fuge si nu vrea de fel
Dar intr-o zi n-a mai rabdat
Si i-a spus Badea suparat
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
De ce-mi cauti tu pricina
Vrei sa uit ca mi-esti vecina
Cand imi tii calea-ngradina
Noaptea cand e luna-n nor
Tocmai cand e luna-n nor
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu fuiorul prins in brau
Iti merge vestea de sfioasa
Ca te-ncui si ziua-n casa
Daca ziua esti fricoasa
Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
De data asta mai fata
Zi ba-da-proste c-ai scapat
Dar de te prind eu alta-data
Sa stii ca intru in pacat
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
O sa ma aduci in stare
Sa te prind de cingatoare
Ziua in amiaza mare
Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
Ea fraga buzelor i-a dat
Si-apoi l-a luat si de barbat
Si-apoi la nunta au jucat cu toti prietenii din sat
Si au mancat si au baut
Trei zile nunta a tinut
Trecut-au ani si ani de-atunci
Si-acolo in satul dintre lunci
Gospodarie ca a lor si voie buna ca a lor
Nu mai gasesti cat ai cauta
Nu mai gasesti la nimenea
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Te-au nins florile de mar
Nu mai esti tu tinerica
Dar esti inca frumusica
Si-ti sta bine ca mamica
Cu trei fire albe-n par
Cu trei fire albe-n par
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cine e ca tine-n sat
Ai acum o fata mare
Si de ea esti mandra tare
Ca-i din cap pana-n picioare
Cum erai tu altadat'
Cum erai tu altadat'
Pai sa-ti traiasca fetita
Si sa o vezi la casa ei
Si sa-ti traiasca si Badita
Si sa va vad cu nepotei
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Cu bujori in obrajori
Si ne mai facusi surata 2 baieti pe lang-o fata
Ce vor creste mari odata
Mandri de maicuta lor
Mandri de maïcuta lor

(translation)

When he goes out he goes to mow
It also comes out with pride
And on Sunday, he's still eyeing her
And when it's a game of peanuts, the pride is always by his side
She's such a curmudgeon
It's only fair that Bade would like it
But when he talks to her
She runs away and doesn't want to
But one day he couldn't take it anymore
Badea told him angrily
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies in the cheeks
Why are you looking for my reason?
You want me to forget that you are my neighbor
When you keep my way-garden
The night when there is a moon in the cloud
Just when the moon is in the cloud
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With the whistle caught in the arm
The news of shyness is going well for you
To lock yourself in the house all day
If you are scared during the day
What are you looking for at night at the beach?
What are you looking for at night at the beach?
This time before
Say ba-da-stupid that you escaped
But I'll catch you another time
Know that I am in sin
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies in the cheeks
You will bring me to the state
To grab you by the belt
High noon day
Give me a kiss on the lips
Give me a kiss on the lips
She kissed him on the lips
And then he also took it as a man
And then at the wedding they played with all the friends from the village
And they ate and drank
The wedding lasted three days
Years and years have passed since then
And there in the village between the meadows
Household like theirs and good will like theirs
You can no longer find what you are looking for
You can't find it at anyone else
Tarancuta, tarancuta
The apple blossoms snowed on you
You are no longer the young woman
But you are still beautiful
And you look good as a mother
With three white hair strands
With three white hair strands
Tarancuta, tarancuta
Who is like you in the village?
You now have a big face
And you are very proud of her
Like from head to toe
How were you before'
How were you before'
Long live your little girl
And to see her at her house
And long live Badita
And to see you with your grandchildren
Tarancuta, tarancuta
With peonies in the cheeks
And you made us laugh 2 boys next to a girl
What will grow big once
Proud of their mother
Proud of their mother
