Prin pădure, pe cărare, măi. măi,
Through the woods, on the path,
Prin pădure, pe cărare,
Through the woods, on the path,
Ies cu mândra la plimbare.
I go out for a walk with my darling.
Mână caii, vizitiu,
Drive the horses, coachman,
Şi-adă bere, bragagiu!
And bring me beer, waiter!
Şi-adă două, mititele,
And bring me two little ones
Şi-un scaun mândruţei mele!
And a chair for my darling.
I-auzi, i-auzi, i-auzea,
Hear it, hear it, hear it,
I-auzi, i-auzea, hei!
Hear it, hear it, hey!
I-auzi, i-auzi, i-auzea,
Hear it, hear it, hear it,
I-auzi, i-auzea, hei!
Hear it, hear it, hey!
Când punguţa mi-era plină, măi,măi,
When my little coin bag was full,
Când punguţa mi-era plină,
When my little coin bag was full,
Mândra mă ţinea pe mână.
My darling was holding me on her arm.
Când punga mi-era pe sfert, măi, măi,
When my coin bag was on quarter,
Când punga mi-era pe sfert, măi,
When my coin bag was on quarter,
Mândra mă ţinea la piept, măi.
My darling was holding me to her chest.
Când punguţa mi-era goală, măi.măi,
When my little coin bag was empty,
Când punguţa mi-era goală,
When my little coin bag was empty,
Mândra mă dădea afară.
My darling was kicking me out.
