| Refren: X2
| Chorus: X2
|
| Iarna-i grea, omatul mare
| It's a hard winter, big man
|
| Vara-i de sarbatoare
| Summer is a holiday
|
| Toti flacaii se aduna
| All the lads gather
|
| Mandrele le iau de mana.
| Proud ones take them by the hand.
|
| Stai, ridica o mana in sus
| Wait, raise your hand
|
| Cealalta la brau si alta pana la apus
| The other at the waist and the other at sunset
|
| Si, sus, sus, tot mai sus, hei
| And, up, up, up, hey
|
| Fa un pas la dreapta, fa un pas la stanga, sus
| Take a step to the right, take a step to the left, up
|
| Ia Maria-n brate si-nvarte-o mai cu foc
| Take Maria in your arms and turn her around with fire
|
| Si-n anul care vine sa avem mai mult noroc
| And next year we will have more luck
|
| Si, sus, sus, tot mai sus, hei
| And, up, up, up, hey
|
| Fa un pas la dreapta, fa un pas la stanga, sus.
| Take a step to the right, take a step to the left, up.
|
| A-nceput de ieri sa cada cate-un fulg de nea
| A snowflake started falling yesterday
|
| Un an nou cu sanatate pentru tine, mandra mea!
| Happy New Year to you, my proud one!
|
| Un an nou cu fericire si belsug pe masa
| A new year with happiness and abundance on the table
|
| Iar tu, bade, nu uita: esti din nou acasa.
| And you, bade, don't forget: you're home again.

|
| Iaca vin cu sanioara ca m-asteapta Marioara
| Here I come with the sleigh because Marioara is waiting for me
|
| Prin troiene am tot umblat si-am ajuns barbat in sat
| I kept walking through the Trojans and I became a man in the village
|
| Iarna-i grea, omatul mare, dar aicea-i sarbatoare
| It's a hard winter, big man, but it's a holiday here
|
| HaЇ sa dam noroc-noroc, sa jucam acum cu foc.
| Let's get lucky, let's play with fire now.
