Translation of the song Nu-i lumină nicăiri artist Grigore Leșe

Nu-i lumină nicăiri,

There is no light anywhere,

Or murit tăți oamenii.

All the people have died.

Numa’ la mândruța me’

Only at my sweetheart's,

Arde lampa ca ș-o ste’.

a lamp burns like a star.

Ş-atâta m-oi duce-n noapte

And I would walk into the night

Până m-oi ‘tâlni cu moarte’.

Until I'd meet the dead.

Și m-oi pune-n copârșeu

And I would put myself in a coffin

La un loc cu Dumnezeu,

in a place near God,

Copârșeu cu scânduri late,

A coffin with thick shelves,

Unde moartea nu străbate,

Where death doesn't get through,

Copârșeu cu scânduri ude,

A coffin with wet shelves ,

Unde moartea nu pătrunde.

where death doesn't get into.
