Translation of the song Bana di ficior artist Pindu

Aromanian

Bana di ficior

English translation

The life of the young

Tufechi câḑură ńil’i di ori

Many thousands of time, weapons have fired

Pisti mârate vlahi hori

Over the poor vlach villages;

Di ńil’i di ori pi-a noşţă fraţ

Many thousands of time, we have found our brothers

I-aflăm pit căl’iuri vâtâmaţ

Laying wounded on the road;

Ma l-agiunḑi, ia sculaţ

But enought, arise,

Bre giońi ficiori, bre giońi ficiori!

You young lads, young lads!

Noi himu a Pindului ficiori

We are the sons of Pindu,

Noi himu ş-buńi, noi him ş-arăi

We are nice but fierce if needed be;

Tufechili ştim s-li mânuim

We know how to wield weapons,

Nu nă-i africă ta s-murim

We aren't afraid of dying,

Că pitu aestă va s-duchim

Because that's how we will feel

Că himu armâńi dit Munţăl’i Pind

That we are aromanians from the Pindu Mountains.

Nu-aveţ în vini sânḑâ-n voi

You don't have what it takes, [1]

Nu hiţ armâńi, nu hiţ ca noi

You aren't aromanians, you're not like us;

Ma cându-a s-grim a nostru zbor

When we will utter our words

Va s-hibă zbor căḑut dit nior

It will be words descending from the clouds; [2]

Aestă-i bana di ficior

That's the life of the young,

Aşi vrem noi, aşi vrem noi!

That's what we want, that's what we want!
