Ma s-yineai nâ searâ acasâ
Only if you'll come home as soon as it gets dark,
Bârbate, mushate.
My beautiful man.
Nu-amu a curi s-alasu, moi, oili
There's no one to help me take care of the sheep,
Bârbate, mushate.
My beautiful man.
Unâ searâ las'-li s-kearâ,
One night I'm gonna leave them to die,
Bârbate, mushate.
My beautiful man.
Mi tukii, mi feciu ca tsearâ,
I'm melted, I'm like candle wax, 1
Bârbate, mushate...
My beautiful man.
