Translation of the song La Rovine artist Alexandru Andrieș
La Rovine
At Rovine
Vorbind pe şleau şi fără sfială
Talking clearly and without shyness,
Nu aveam o bază tehnico-materială,
we had no technical-material basis
Teoretic vorbind şi privind obiectiv
Theoretically speaking and looking objectively,
Recunoaştem deschis că era cam frig,
we must recognize that it was a little cold,
Din punct de vedere numeric susţin
Numerically speaking, i must say
Că prin comparaţie eram cam puţini, dar
that in comparison (with nowadays) we were a few, but
La Rovine (La Rovine)
At Rovine (At Rovine)
La Rovine (La Rovine)
At Rovine (At Rovine)
O mare victorie am obţinut !
We gained a big victory!
La Rovine (La Rovine)
At Rovine (At Rovine)
La Rovine (La Rovine)
At Rovine (At Rovine)
O mare victorie am obţinut !
We gained a big victory!
Din punct de vedere al vîrstei vorbind
Talking from the point of the age,
Mircea era bătrîn şi puţin suferind,
Mircea was old and a little ill,
Duşmanul, prin spate, încet şuşotea
the enemy whispered on the back
Cum că-i tremura mîna fiindcă-i plăcea să bea.
that his hand was shaking because he liked to drink,
Cert e însă că părul i se cam albise
The fact is that his hair got kinda white
Şi că pe la tîmple i se cam rărise, dar
and kinda rare on the temples, but
La Rovine (La Rovine)
At Rovine (At Rovine)

O mare victorie am obţinut !
We gained a big victory!
La Rovine (La Rovine)

O mare victorie am obţinut !
We gained a big victory!
Turcii şi-astăzi susţin că nu-s ei de vină,
The turkish people still say that it wasn't their fault,
Că erau condiţii grele de-orientare şi climă,
that there were hard conditions of climate and orientation,
Că erau bani puţini şi pericol de boală,
that there were little money and sickness danger,
Că noroiul n-avea densitatea normală,
that the mud had no normal density
Că metoda de luptă era demodată,
that the fighting technicque was old-fashioned
Că mlaştina fusese evident trucată, dar
and the swamp was fake, but
