Translation of the song Mondo Cane artist Mircea Vintilă

Am pierdut un caine rosu, concurent la maraton,

I lost a red dog, marathon runner

Niciun caine nu e rosu daca n-are si melon.

no dog is red if it doesn't wear a bowler hat

Poate a fost un caine verde, cu stapanul anonim.

Maybe it was a green dog with anonymous master

Ce sa fac-un caine verde daca nu-l chema Senin?

What can I do with a green dog if it's name ain't Senin?

Dar era un caine albastru, angajat intr-un hotel

But it was a blue dog working in a hotel

Lasa cainele albastru, c-a fugit cu Charles Martel.

let the blue dog, for it ran with Charles Martel

Nu e niciun caine ocru,niciun caine violet

There's neither a brown dog, nor a violet dog

Niciun caine mare socru,niciun caine Capulet.

Neither big father-in-law dog, nor Capulet dog

Numai cainele cel negru,imbracat intr-o livrea,

Only the black dog dressed in uniform

Sta si-mi face semn cu ochiul, dintr-o ceasca de cafea.

sits giving me a wink from a coffee cup.

Dar era un caine albastru, angajat intr-un hotel

But it was a blue dog working in a hotel

Lasa cainele albastru, c-a fugit cu Charles Martel.

let the blue dog, for it ran with Charles Martel

Numai câinele cel negru, îmbrăcat într-o livrea

Only the black dog dressed in uniform

Stă şi-mi face semn cu ochiul dintr-o ceaşcă de cafea.

sits giving me a wink from a coffee cup.

Numai câinele cel negru, îmbrăcat într-o livrea

Only the black dog dressed in uniform

Stă şi-mi face semn cu ochiul dintr-o ceaşcă de cafea.
