Bate vantul, cica frunza indura
The wind blows the leaf on its side
Cantaretii, cica, mi-i alunga
They say it blows my singers away
Cerul tace, cica, vantu-i mut
The sky is quiet, they say the wind is mute
Eu stau cu urechea in pamant si ascult
I stay with my ear in the ground and I listen
Cand ‘oi fi cu capu-n nori
If I should be with my head in the clouds
Vantule sa ma cobori
Wind, you should get me back down
Fara ploaie, cica, fara vant
Without rain, without wind they say
Crengile, cica, la pamant
The branches to the ground they say
Astazi inger, cica, maine sfant
Today angel, tomorrow saint they say
Eu stau cu urechea in pamant si ascult
I stay with my ear in the ground and I listen
Cand ‘oi fi cu capu-n nori
If I should be with my head in the clouds
Vantule sa ma cobori
Wind, you should get me back down
Vantul nu mai bate, cica, s-a oprit
The wind is not blowing any longer, they say it stopped
Pasarile toate, cica, au adormit
The birds all, they say, that they have falllen asleep
Frunzele stau, cica, stau stingherite
The leaves stay lonely they say
Eu stau cu urechea in pamant si ascult
I stay with my ear in the ground and I listen
Cand ‘oi fi cu capu-n nori
If I should be with my head in the clouds
Vantule sa ma cobori…
Wind, you should get me back down
