Cred că poţi pleca deja,
I guess that you can leave
Cred că poţi pleca deja
I guess that you can leave
Acolo de unde eşti,
to the place where you came from,
Acasă-n Olteniţa...

Cred că poţi pleca deja,
I guess that you can leave
Cred că poţi pleca deja
I guess that you can leave
Acolo de unde eşti,
to the place where you came from,
La tine-n Olteniţa...
home in Olteniţa
După-atîţia ani
After so many years,
Te cred că ţi-e greu,
I guess it's hard for you
Dar ştim amîndoi:
but we both know
Nu-i ăsta locul tău !
that this ain't your place!
Cred că poţi pleca deja,
I guess that you can leave
Acolo de unde eşti,
to the place where you came from,
Acasă-n Olteniţa...
home in Olteniţa
Nu mai ţii tu minte,
You may not remember
Da' precis o să-ţi placă:
but I guess that you'll love it:
Ai acolo de toate
You got everything
Şi-n plus, ai şi apă !
and plus, you got water!
Cred că poţi pleca deja,
I guess that you can leave
Acolo de unde eşti,
to the place where you came from,
Acasă-n Olteniţa...

Ai fost la Timişoara,
You were at Timişoara
Ai fost şi la Iaşi,
You were even at Iaşi
Ai văzut şi Bucureştiul,
you saw Bucureşti,
Poţi să ne laşi !
you can leave us alone!
Cred că poţi pleca deja,
I guess that you can leave
Acolo de unde eşti,
to the place where you came from,
Acasă-n Olteniţa...
