Zdob și Zdub – Sunt Hoinar sunt Lautar English Lyrics

Romanian

Foaie verde, trei salcii
N-am nevasta, n-am copii
Casa n-am si n-am parale
Numai cantece de jale

Foaie verde, bob naut
De ce mama m-ai nascut
Sa cutreier lumea toata
Sa sparg inima de fata

Foaie verde, bob naut
De ce mama m-ai nascut
Sa cutreier lumea toata
Sa sparg inima de fata

Foaie verde, Duhul Sfant
Tata m-a invatat sa cant
Si la fluier si la drimba
Si la muchie de limba

Foaie verde, varf de cruce
Cantecul in cer ma duce
Maicai Domnului sa-i cant
Ca e jale pe pamant

Foaie verde, varf de cruce
Cantecul in cer ma duce
Maicai Domnului sa-i cant
Ca e jale pe pamant

Foaie verde, Duhul Sfant
Tata m-a invatat sa cant
Si la fluier si la drimba
Si la muchie de limba

Foaie verde, trei salcii
N-am nevasta, n-am copii
Casa n-am si n-am parale
Numai cantece de jale

Am un singur super dar
Lacrimi acre in pahar
Toata viata-i in zadar
Sunt hoinar, sunt lautar

English

Green Leaf, three willows
I don’t have a wife or kids
I don’t have a wife or money
All I have is songs of sorrow

Green leaf, chickpea seed
Why did mother give birth to me
To roam the world
And break girls’ hearts

Green leaf, chickpea seed
Why did mother give birth to me
To roam the world
And break girls’ hearts

Green leaf, Holy Spirit
Father taught me how to play
Both the whistle and the jaw harp
And my edge of the tongue

Green leaf, top of the cross
The song takes me in the sky
To sing to the Mother of God
Because there is sorrow on earth

Green leaf, top of the cross
The song takes me in the sky
To sing to the Mother of God
Because there is sorrow on earth

Green leaf, Holy Spirit
Father taught me how to play
Both the whistle and the jaw harp
And my edge of the tongue

Green Leaf, three willows
I don’t have a wife or kids
I don’t have a wife or money
All I have is songs of sorrow

I have only one great gift
Sour Tears in my glass
All this life is in vain
I’m a wanderer, I’m a fiddler
