Maria Tănase - Lume, Lume
The web translations I found don't seem to be that great... For instance, the title is translated as "World, World," while the CD that someone brought me from Romania has "Life, oh Life"... A friend of mine tried to translate it, but it ended up being a personal interpretation. I can try to translate it myself too, but I want a translation that retains the original meaning and feel. Here are the lyrics: Lume, lume, soră lume Lume, lume, soră lume Când să mă satur de tine Când să mă satur de tine Lume, soră lume Când s-o lăsa sec de pâine Şi păhăruţul de mine Poate-atunci m-oi sătura Poate-atunci m-oi sătura Când o suna scândura Când o suna scândura Lume, soră lume Când m-or băga in mormânt Şi n-oi mai fi pe pământ Lume, soră lume Aşa-i lumea trecătoare C-aşa-i lumea trecătoare Unul naşte altul moare Unul naşte altul moare Lume, soră lume Ăl de naşte necăjeşte Ăl de moare putrezeşte Lume, soră lume C-aşa-i lumea trecătoare Unul naşte altul moare Lume, soră lume Ăl de naşte necăjeşte Ăl de moare putrezeşte Lume, soră lume 1 person has voted this message useful | |

World*, world, sister world
World, world, sister world When I get tired of you When I get tired of you World, sister world When leaving a dry bread And my little (liquour) glass Maybe then I'll get fed up Maybe then I'll get fed up When a sound 'scans'** When a sound 'scans' World, sister world When they'll put me in the grave And I'll not be anymore on the earth World, sister world Thus the world is transient It's like that, the transient world One is born, another dies One is born, another dies World, sister world At birth (it) annoys** At dying (it) rots World, sister world It's like that, the transient world One is born, another dies World, sister world At birth (it) annoys At dying (it) rots World, sister world * "lumea" first and foremost means 'the world', but it can also means 'people' (in general) ** to 'scan' like when you recite a poem - but 'suna' is often used about ring tones and bells, so the meaning could be "when the bells toll" *** obscure, but probably meaning something like "the one who is (at) being born, it annoys the one who is (at) dying, it (lets) rot" Edited by Iversen on 18 August 2011 at 1:20am 2 persons have voted this message useful |
