Cand noaptea intra in odai
When the night enters the rooms
Si lumanarea se aprinde,
And the candle lights up
Iar pe obraji,din ochii tai
And on your cheeks, out of your eyes
Incet,o lacrima asfinte...
Slowly, a tear falls down
Si te cufunda in gandiri,
And it makes you think
Ca tine griji cine mai are?
Who else has worries like yours?
Si cate nopti tu n-ai dormit,
And how many nights you haven't slept
Pan' m-ai vazut atat de mare....
Until you've seen me so grown up...
Mama,mama....nu mai plange...sterge-ti lacrima...
Mother, mother, stop crying, dry your tears...
Mama....nu mai plange...sterge-ti lacrima...
Mother, mother, stop crying, dry your tears...
Mama,mama....nu mai plange...[nu maï plange]
Mother, mother, stop crying... (stop crying)
Mama...Mama....Mama....Mama
Mother...Mother...Mother...Mother.
