| Cand iese badea la cosit
| When he goes out he goes to mow
|
| Iese si mandra la prasit
| It also comes out with pride
|
| Si la hora duminica e tot cu ochii dupa ea
| And on Sunday, he's still eyeing her
|
| Si cand e joc de alunel, mandruta e tot langa el
| And when it's a game of peanuts, the pride is always by his side
|
| Pai tarancuta cum e ea
| She's such a curmudgeon
|
| E drept ca Bade i-ar placea
| It's only fair that Bade would like it
|
| Dar cand ii cauta vorba el
| But when he talks to her
|
| Ea fuge si nu vrea de fel
| She runs away and doesn't want to
|
| Dar intr-o zi n-a mai rabdat
| But one day he couldn't take it anymore
|
| Si i-a spus Badea suparat
| Badea told him angrily
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Cu bujori in obrajori
| With peonies in the cheeks
|
| De ce-mi cauti tu pricina
| Why are you looking for my reason?
|
| Vrei sa uit ca mi-esti vecina
| You want me to forget that you are my neighbor
|
| Cand imi tii calea-ngradina
| When you keep my way-garden
|
| Noaptea cand e luna-n nor
| The night when there is a moon in the cloud
|
| Tocmai cand e luna-n nor
| Just when the moon is in the cloud
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Cu fuiorul prins in brau
| With the whistle caught in the arm
|
| Iti merge vestea de sfioasa
| The news of shyness is going well for you
|
| Ca te-ncui si ziua-n casa
| To lock yourself in the house all day
|
| Daca ziua esti fricoasa
| If you are scared during the day
|
| Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
| What are you looking for at night at the beach?
|
| Ce cauti noaptea la parau?
| What are you looking for at night at the beach?
|
| De data asta mai fata
| This time before
|
| Zi ba-da-proste c-ai scapat
| Say ba-da-stupid that you escaped
|
| Dar de te prind eu alta-data
| But I'll catch you another time
|
| Sa stii ca intru in pacat
| Know that I am in sin
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Cu bujori in obrajori
| With peonies in the cheeks
|
| O sa ma aduci in stare
| You will bring me to the state
|
| Sa te prind de cingatoare
| To grab you by the belt
|
| Ziua in amiaza mare
| High noon day
|
| Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
| Give me a kiss on the lips
|
| Sa-mi dai fraga buzelor
| Give me a kiss on the lips
|
| Ea fraga buzelor i-a dat
| She kissed him on the lips
|
| Si-apoi l-a luat si de barbat
| And then he also took it as a man
|
| Si-apoi la nunta au jucat cu toti prietenii din sat
| And then at the wedding they played with all the friends from the village
|
| Si au mancat si au baut
| And they ate and drank
|
| Trei zile nunta a tinut
| The wedding lasted three days
|
| Trecut-au ani si ani de-atunci
| Years and years have passed since then
|
| Si-acolo in satul dintre lunci
| And there in the village between the meadows
|
| Gospodarie ca a lor si voie buna ca a lor
| Household like theirs and good will like theirs
|
| Nu mai gasesti cat ai cauta
| You can no longer find what you are looking for
|
| Nu mai gasesti la nimenea
| You can't find it at anyone else
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Te-au nins florile de mar
| The apple blossoms snowed on you
|
| Nu mai esti tu tinerica
| You are no longer the young woman
|
| Dar esti inca frumusica
| But you are still beautiful
|
| Si-ti sta bine ca mamica
| And you look good as a mother
|
| Cu trei fire albe-n par
| With three white hair strands
|
| Cu trei fire albe-n par
| With three white hair strands
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Cine e ca tine-n sat
| Who is like you in the village?
|
| Ai acum o fata mare
| You now have a big face
|
| Si de ea esti mandra tare
| And you are very proud of her
|
| Ca-i din cap pana-n picioare
| Like from head to toe
|
| Cum erai tu altadat'
| How were you before'
|
| Cum erai tu altadat'
| How were you before'
|
| Pai sa-ti traiasca fetita
| Long live your little girl
|
| Si sa o vezi la casa ei
| And to see her at her house
|
| Si sa-ti traiasca si Badita
| And long live Badita
|
| Si sa va vad cu nepotei
| And to see you with your grandchildren
|
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
| Tarancuta, tarancuta
|
| Cu bujori in obrajori
| With peonies in the cheeks
|
| Si ne mai facusi surata 2 baieti pe lang-o fata
| And you made us laugh 2 boys next to a girl
|
| Ce vor creste mari odata
| What will grow big once
|
| Mandri de maicuta lor
| Proud of their mother
|
| Mandri de maïcuta lor | Proud of their mother |
