| I use music like a shield
|
| earned in hard years, not overnight at the bearded man
|
| and I address young people in particular
|
| it is an identity crisis, a national phenomenon
|
| the same scratched plate can be heard from behind
|
| I want to do good for this whole world
|
| and I don't need proof
|
| when I sing doina or listen to ballads
|
| I know it's the spark in the trash
|
| what will ignite the belief that Romania is leaving us
|
| And I don't want to become your conscience, Dad
|
| I just want you to learn from my mistakes, but wait
|
| People will misunderstand me
|
| Look at the tired Romanian figures
|
| I have a national spirit, but I'm not a fanatic
|
| Folklore is oxygen for an asthmatic people.
|
| The past and the present define me as Romanian
|
| even if I'm atypical in the way I say it
|
| The name doesn't say it, the documents say it
|
| and more recently I would like to tell you the facts
|
| I have firs like cousins and spruces like brothers
|
| and the world around the country calls us the Subcarpathians
|
| When I say language, you mean Romanian
|
| Romanian language, Romanian language.
|
| Folklore is oxygen for an asthmatic people.
|
| Put it on, me!
|
| The past and the present define me as Romanian
|
| even if I'm atypical in the way I say it
|
| The name doesn't say it, the documents say it
|
| and more recently I would like to tell you the facts
|
| I have firs like cousins and spruces like brothers
|
| and the world around the country calls us the Subcarpathians
|
| When I say language, you mean Romanian
|
| Language… Romanian language. |
