Azi a fost un fel de zi
Today was a sort of day,
Niţel cam aşa:
a little this way:
Un fel de soare puţin obosit
A sort of sun a little tired
Cu raze-n pijama,
with rays in pajamas,
Cu miliţieni timizi
with timid militians
Şi cu mulţi bani lichizi
and many cash
De cheltuit cumva...
to spend somehow...
M-a oprit o cucoană,
A lady stopped me
Caut o fetişcană
I'm looking for a girl
Şi mi se pare ciudat:
and it seems strange:
Semeni cam mult cu ea,
You look a lot like her;
Spune-mi, pe dumneata
Tell me, for you
Nu te-ar şoca ?
Won't that be shocking ?
Dacă vreau dulceaţă
If I want sweetness,
Se face dimineaţă
morning is coming
Şi eu tot aş mînca !
and I still would eat.
Se-ascunde fiecare
Everybody's hiding
Cu ce-are mai bun de mîncare...
with anything good for eating...
Am dat un telefon, suna ocupat;
I made a phone call, the line was engaged;
Am lăsat pe mai tîrziu
I let it for later
Şi m-am mai plimbat,
and took a little walk,
Strada se-aglomera,
the street was full
Lumea se-nghesuia
everyone was clinging
La ce altceva ?
what else?
