lyrics

// Mama cînd mo legănat, //
// Numai de dor mio cîntat. //
// Mio cîntat de dor șio plîns, //
// Dorul de mine so prins. //
// De cînd dorul la inima, //
Numai am nici o hodină,
Nici la prînz și nici la cină.
// Cîte doruri leles grele, //
// Toates pă braţăle mele. //
// Dar nu moare de bătrîn, //
// Nu ști dorul de cei bun. //
// Dar eu știu că lam purtat, //
// De cînd mama mio cîntat. //

When mama rocked me,
She only sang to me of longing.
She sang to me of longing and I cried,
And longing took me.
Since then I carry longing to my heart,
And I have no respite,
Neither during the day nor in the evening.
So many hard longings are severe,
All are on my arms.
One dies from old age,
You don’t know what good it is.
But I know that I carried it,
Since mama sang of it to me.
