Translation of the song Racul, ştiuca şi-un brotac artist Nicu Alifantis
Racul, ştiuca şi-un brotac
The crab, the pike and a frog
Racul, ştiuca şi-un brotac
The crab, the pike and a frog
Vor, vor, vor dovleacul
want, want, want the pumpkin
Să-l transporte peste-un lac
to carry it on a lake
dus, dus, dus cu sacul
with with with the bag
Ştiuca a-notat ceac-pac
The pike swimmed
Cu-cu-cu dovleacul.
with with with the pumkin
Sprinten el sărea brotacul,
The frog jumped fast
Racul da-napoi, că-i rac.
The crab went backwards as he's a crab
S-au căznit îngrozitor
They struggled hardly
cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
Numai muncă fără spor
Only work in vain
cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
Fiindcă sacul neclintit
For the bag
cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
sta pe loc împotmolit
was stuck
cu dovleacul...
with the pumpkin
Cum să treacă peste lac
How could they pass on the lake
Coşcogeamite dovleac
such a huge pumpkin
Racul, ştiuca şi-un brotac?
The crab, the pike and a frog?
(Racul ştiuca şi brotacul
(The crab, the pike and the frog
Racul ştiuca şi brotacul
The crab, the pike and the frog
Racul ştiuca şi brotacul
The crab, the pike and the frog
Racul ştiuca şi brotacul)
The crab, the pike and the frog)
Racul ştiuca şi brotacul
The crab, the pike and the frog
N-au aflat pe semne leacul
didn't find, they say, the solution
Care să urnească sacul
to move the bag
unde stă pitit dovleacul.
where was the pumpkin
Ei n-au priceput că sacul
They didn't get that the bag
A rămas pe loc săracul
was stuck, poor thing,
că a tras mai fiecare
because each of them pulled it
cum l-a dus pe el dovleacul.
the way they thought
Racul, ştiuca şi brotacul,
The crab, the pike and the frog
Hmmmmm...
Hmmm
S-au căznit îngrozitor
They struggled hardly
cu-cu-cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
Numai muncă fără spor
Only work in vain
cu-cu-cu-cu-cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
Fiindcă sacul neclintit
For the bag
cu-cu-cu-cu-cu dovleacul
with the pumpkin
sta pe loc împotmolit
was stuck
cu dovleacul...
with the pumpkin
