Umbla vorba de soroc, Verde inrourat
There is a rumour abroad, Dewy green
Ca noi n-am ave noroc, Verde inrourat
That we would be unlucky, Dewy green
// Da vantu bate, apa trece, pietrele raman
// But, the wind blows, water flows, the stones remain
E si grea e si frumoasa viata de roman //
Romanians' life is hard, but beautiful, too //
C-avem suflet imbatranit, Verde inrourat
For we have aged soul, Dewy green
De la truda ce-am trudit, Verde inrourat
From harsh times of hard working, Dewy green
Noi murim spre a renaste, Verde inrourat
We die to be born again, Dewy green
Ca Isus in zi de Paste, Verde inrourat.
As Jesus on Easter Day, Dewy green.
