Lyrics of Maria - Zdob si Zdub

Maria (original)

Cand am fost o data-n sat
Cand am fost eu la Revaca
La o margine de sat
Intalnitu-m-am cu-o fata
Ea frumoasa ca o floare
Luminoasa ca un soare
Gingasa ca un apus
In suflet mi-a trezit un blues:
II:
Foaie verde de mohor
Ma usuc amar de dor
Ziua cand se face noapte
Eu sunt beat de-a tale soapte
Curge vinul in pahar
Tu de mine n-ai habar
Luna-n nouri s-a ascuns
La chitara cant eu blues
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Unde esti Maria mea?
Plangi chitara-n ritm de blues
Mi se zbate inima
Pentru tine acest blues
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
III:
Viata a trecut ca un vis
Si eu sunt de ea aprins
Doar in suflet chipul tau
Draga mea Maria
Primavara vine-n plai
As mai vrea ca tu sa stai
Si s-auzi cum pentru tine
Din strafunduri vine
Blues-ul tau, Maria
Viata a trecut ca un vis
Focul dragostei s-a stins
Doar in suflet chipul tau
Draga mea Maria
Draga mea Maria
Pom de mar in floare
Am cunoscut iubirea
Ai disparut in zare

(translation)

When I was in the village once
When I went to Revaca
On the outskirts of the village
I met a girl
She is beautiful as a flower
Bright as a sun
Gentle as a sunset
A blues awoke in my soul:
II:
Mohor green leaf
I dry up bitterly
Day and night
I'm drunk on your whispers
The wine flows into the glass
You have no idea about me
The moon in the clouds hid
The guitar I sing blues
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Where are you my Mary?
Cry the blues rhythm guitar
My heart is pounding
This blues for you
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
III:
Life passed like a dream
I'm on fire with her too
Only in your soul your face
My dear Maria
Spring is coming
I'd like you to stay
And it sounds like it's for you
It comes from the depths
Your blues, Maria
Life passed like a dream
The fire of love has been extinguished
Only in your soul your face
My dear Maria
My dear Maria
Apple tree in bloom
I met love
You disappeared into the distance
