Translation of the song Mica ţiganiadă artist Phoenix
Mica ţiganiadă
Little ţiganiadă*
Trec ţigani pe drum, drumu-i plin de fum
Gypsies pass on the road, the road is full of smoke,
Fumu-i plin de scrum, foc ardea
The smoke is full of ashes, fire was burning
Vai ţigani, ţigani, gipsy şi gitani
Oh tziganes, tziganes, gypsies and gitanes
Fără cer şi ani, trec pe drum
Without a sky and years, pass on the road.
Ţigănie rai, rai care erai
Gypsiness heaven, heaven that you were
Caravan serai giacardea
Caravan palace giacardea**
Raiul meu beteag de pe alt meleag
My ill heaven from another place
Cât îmi eşti de drag, nu ştiu cum
How dear you're to me, I don't know.
Trec ţigani prin colb, colbul este orb
The gypsies pass trough the dust, the dust is blind,
Orbul e un corb giacardea
The blind man is a crow giacardea
Cade seara-n câmp soarele-i scălâmb
The night falls over the field the sun is deformed
Cortul este strâmb foc ardea
The tent is bent, fire was burning.
Fac ţiganii foc, focu-i la mijloc
The gypsies are making the fire, the fire is in the middle
Fete cu ghioc
Girls with ghioc
Şi cu cărţi de joc, hai noroc, noroc
And with playing cards, come on cheers, cheers
Vino la soroc
Come to see your destiny.
Vino să-ţi ghicesc cărţile vorbesc
Come so I can guess your future the cards talk
Şi nu ne minţesc, giacardea
And they don't lie to us, giacardea
Fată de caro sub cer indigo
Queen of diamonds under a indigo sky
Să-ţi spun încotro foc ardea
So I can tell you where fire was burning
Că mulţi ani s-au scurs de când el s-a dus
Because lots of years passed since he was gone
Cu un pui de urs pe un drum
With a bear cub on a road
Cu belciug şi lanţ fără nici un sfanţ
With a piercing and a chain without a dime
Spre un târg bizanţ foc ardea
To a byzantine fair fire was burning
Zaiafet acum lăutari duium
Zaiafet now a crowd of fiddlers
Numai tu nicicum, giacardea
Only you no way, giacardea
Noaptea de-ar veni pe pământul gri
The night would come over the gray ground
De ne-ar adormi orişicum
But it would make us fall to sleep anyway
O dar azi dar azi ceru-i de atlaz
Oh but today today the sky is of satin
Soarele-n extaz
The sun is in ecstasy
Ei se duc la pas spre un alt popas
The go by foot to another camp
Şatră de pripas
Camp of starngers
Până nu-i mai vezi, până nu-i mai crezi
Until you can't see them anymore, until you don't believe them anymore
Şi din ochi îi pierzi
And they go out of sight
Printre ceţuri verzi, ceţuri de livezi
Through green mists, mists of orchards
Vezi că nu-i mai vezi
You see you can't see them anymore
Giacardea, cardea
Giacardea, cardea*****
