Translation of the song Versus artist The Motans
Versus
Versus
Mi-ai placut pentru ca erai nice si pentru ca citeai:
I liked you because you were nice, and because you used to read:
Bucowski, Bradbury si Wilde.
Bucowski, Bradbury and Wilde.
Pentru ca nu te-ai speriat.
Because you didn't got scared
De un tip ca mine plin de haos si avangard.
By a guy like me, full of chaos and avangard.
Pentru ca mi-ai parut un exemplar de blonda desteapta,
Because, to me, you seemed like an exemplar of a smart blonde,
Superdotata, extrastilata.
Highly gifted, extra stylish.
Pentru ca aveai caracter,
Because you had character,
Mi s-a parut ca vezi si tu lumea altfel.
I thought that you also see the world differently.
N-am stiut ca tu incluzi fercirea in cec, iarasi am calcat pe bec,
I didn't knew that you included happiness in the check, I did wrong once again.
Trebuia s-apas pe stop, sau poate pe butonul rec.
I should have pressed stop, or maybe on the REC button.
Vara cu Jimi Hendrix, toamna cu Miles Davis
Summer with Jimi Hendrix, autum with Miles Davis
La usa mea doar room service
At my door only room service
Astept macar o data sa vii tu,
I’m waiting for you to come at least once,
Sa-ti aduc aminte cum
To remind you how
Mi-ai spus: Denea poti sa sari din barca.
You told me: Denea you can jump out of the boat
Pentru ca si la mine sufletul o inceput sa arda.
Because my soul started burning too.
Tu nu te teme, sari, iar eu sar dupa tine.
Don’t you be scared, jump, and I'll jump after you.*
Aaaahhh, n-am stiut ca poti vasli atat de bine
Ahhh, I didn't know that you can row so well
Pentru tine e doar un lucru ordinar,
For you it's only an ordinary thing,
Un prost cu dragostea in buzunar,
A fool with love in his pocket,
Versus.
Versus.
Un plescat pe Lexus
A bald man on a Lexus
Poti sa numeri pan' la 10 sau macar pan' la o mie,
You can cont 'till 10 or at least 'till one thousand,
N-am de gand sa ma ridic pentru una ca tine,
I'm not going to get up for someone like you,
Presupunem c-am pierdut, in technical K. O.
Let's suppose that I lost, technically K.O.
P. S. Adio.
P.S. You whore.**
Si parca nu-s cascat, dar totusi am cazut.
And maybe I'm not silly, but I still fell.
Si parca nu-s naiv, dar totusi am crezut.
And maybe I'm not naive, but I still believed.
In povesti de genul stiintifico-fantastic,
In science-fiction kind of stories,
In cuvinte goale, in zambete din plastic,
In empty words, in plastic smiles,
In zambete de unica folosinta,
In single-use smiles,
Tu o faceai doar din obisnuinta,
You used to do it out of habbit,
Tu o faceai doar pentru borderou,
You used to do it only for the tally-sheet,
Prefer sa-i spun acum depou.
I prefer to call it depot now.
Si inca o dimineata.
And one more morning.
Adorm cu forta, ma trezesc cu greata.
I forcibly go to sleep, I relucantly wake-up.
Si ma intreb cine am fost,
And I wonder who was I?
Regele lumii sau inca un prost.
The king of the world or just another fool?
Vara cu Jimi Hendrix, toamna cu Miles Davis
Summer with Jimi Hendrix, autum with Miles Davis
La usa mea doar room service
At my door only room service
De la prieteni cer macar un sfat.
From my friends, I only ask for one advice.
Dar toate sticlele goale de Jack tac
But all the empty bottles of Jack are silent.
Tu m-ai distrus femeie, no stress, doar din interes.
You destroyed me woman, no stress, just for the convenience of it.
De parca m-ai fi cumparat de pe AliExpress,
Like you bought me from AliExpress,
De parca m-ai gasit in pagini aurii,
Like you found me in Golden Pages,***
Compartimentul dragoste si fleacuri pentru copii.
Compartment love and trifles for children.
Pentru tine e doar un lucru ordinar,
For you it's only an ordinary thing,
Un prost cu dragostea in buzunar,
A fool with love in his pocket,

Vara cu Jimi Hendrix, toamna cu Miles Davis.
Summer with Jimi Hendrix, autum with Miles Davis.
La usa mea doar room service.
At my door only room service.
Candva am asteptat sa vii doar tu,
I once waited for only you to come,
Dar acum nuuu.
But now, not anymore.
