Translation of the song Blues-ul magazinului artist Alexandru Andrieș

Chiar la uşa casei mele s-a deschis un magazin...

Just at my place's door, a shop was open

Chiar la uşa casei mele s-a deschis un magazin...

Just at my place's door, a shop was open

Toate rafturile-s goale,

All the aisles are empty,

Da-năuntru-i de lume plin !

but it's crowded inside!

După jumate de-oră a venit maşina,

After half an hour, the van had come,

După jumate de-oră a venit maşina,

After half an hour, the van had come,

Da' nu ştim ce-a adus pentru că s-a stins lumina.

But we don't know what they brought, because the light went out

Am stat la coadă două ore jumate,

I sat at the queue for two hours and a half

Am stat la coadă două ore jumate,

I sat at the queue for two hours and a half

Noi aveam buletine, ei cereau paşapoarte !

We had IDs, they had passports
