Translation of the song Mama artist Elena Gheorghe
Mama
Mother
Mama inca nu ti-am spus,
Mother, I haven't told you yet
Ca nimic nu-i mai presus,
That nothing means so much for me
Decat insemni tu pentru mine,
As you do
Ma cuprinde teama!
Fear takes over me!
Teama c-ai sa pleci, pe meleaguri gri si reci
Fear that you'll be gone in some grey and cold place
De langa mine Mama inca nu ti-am spus,
Away from me
Ca nimic nu-i mai presus,
Mother, I haven't told you yet
Decat insemni tu pentru mine,
That nothing means so much for me
Ma cuprinde teama!
As you do
Teama c-ai sa pleci, pe meleaguri gri si reci
Fear takes over me!
De langa mine
Fear that you'll be gone in some grey and cold place
Cei mai sinceri ochi si-o fata prea blanda
Away from me
Palmele ridate, batute de atata munca
The most sincere eyes and such a gentle face
Nu ti-am spus-o mama, dar in inima ta stii
Wrinkled hands from to much work
Esti cel mai bun exemplu cand voi avea copii
I never told you, mother, but in your heart you know
Prea multi oameni au batut la usa sufletului meu
You are the best example when I'll have children
Dar numai mama a ramas atunci cand mi-a fost mai greu
Too many people knocked at the gate of my soul
Am vazut barbati, femei, ce se mananca-ntre ei
But only my mother stayed when I had a hard time
Vocea ta imi repeta: mama tu nu fi ca ei!
I've seen men, women, eating each other 1
Nu-i deloc usor,
Your voice keeps telling me: My child,2 don't be like them!
Mi-e frica de gandul c-odata tu nu vei mai fi!
It's not easy at all!
Anii trec in zbor,
I'm afraid to think that on one day you'll be gone!
O viata n-ajunge-i prea scurta sa-ti pot multumi!
Years pass by flying,
Si se-ntreaba ce-o mai fi cu mine,
One life is not enough, it's to short to thank you!
N-am sunat-o de cateva zile,
And she's wandering what am I doing
Nu-ti fa griji inca sunt bine,
I didn't call her for a few days
Am sa ma intorc acasa si-o sa fii mandra de mine mama!
Don't worry, I'm still OK
Mama inca nu ti-am spus,
I'll be back home and you'll be proud of me, mother!
Ca nimic nu-i mai presus,
Mother, I haven't told you yet
Decat insemni tu pentru mine,
That nothing means so much for me
Ma cuprinde teama!
As you do
Teama c-ai sa pleci, pe meleaguri gri si reci
Fear takes over me!
De langa mine Mama!
Fear that you'll be gone in some grey and cold place
Esti un magic tablou,
Away from me, mother!
Un cuvant cu ecou,
You are a magical painting
Cel mai mare cadou,
A word with an echo
Te port in sufletul meu!
The biggest present
Trec si saptamani cand uit sa sun,
I keep you in my soul!
Grijile pe primul loc le pun
Weeks pass by and I forget to call you
Dar ai o inima atat de mare
My worries come first
Si ma-ntelegi fara suparare
But you have such a big heart
Dar cand bat la usa casei tale,
And you understand me without getting upset
Imi deschizi, pe fata ta e soare,
But when I knock at your door
Imi pui tot ce ai mai bun pe masa,
You let me in, there is sun on your face
Copilul tau e din nou acasa.
You put the best food on the table
Nu-i deloc usor,
Your child is back home again
Mi-e frica de gandul c-odata tu nu vei mai fi!
It's not easy at all
Anii trec in zbor,
I'm afraid to think that on one day you'll be gone!
O viata n-ajunge-i prea scurta sa-ti pot multumi!
Years pass by flying,
Mama inca nu ti-am spus,
One life is not enough, it's to short to thank you!
Ca nimic nu-i mai presus,
Mother, I haven't told you yet
Decat insemni tu pentru mine,
That nothing means so much for me
Ma cuprinde teama!
As you do
Teama c-ai sa pleci, pe meleaguri gri si reci
Fear takes over me!
De langa mine
Fear that you'll be gone in some grey and cold place
Mama inca nu ti-am spus,
Away from me
Ca nimic nu-i mai presus,
Mother, I haven't told you yet
Decat insemni tu pentru mine,
That nothing means so much for me
Ma cuprinde teama!
As you do
Teama c-ai sa pleci, pe meleaguri gri si reci
Fear takes over me!
De langa mineeee
Fear that you'll be gone in some grey and cold place
