Translation of the song Carul cu boi artist Romanian Folk

Pân’ ce electricitate

Before electricity

Căi ferate și vapori

Train tracks and steams

Încă nu erau aflate

Were discovered

Mergeau toate fără zor

Everything went smoothly 1

Câci bâtranii erau moi

Becouse the elders were carefree

Își mânau carul cu boi

They were leading the ox driven cart

Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea1 !

To the left, to the right! To the left, to the right!2

Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea !

To the left, to the right! To the left, to the right!

Azi zburăm pe căi ferate

Today we fly on the trains tracks 3

Prin vagoane îndesate

In boxy waggons

Sosind cu capetele sparte

We arrive (to the destinaton) with broken heads

Nemâncați și degeraţi

Famished and frozen

De cât cu atâtea nevoi

Its better to lead an ox driven cart

Mai bine cu car cu boi

Than to have so many worries

Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea ! Hâis, cea !

To the left, to the right! To the left, to the right!
