Tudor Gheorghe "Cîntec oltenesc" lyrics

Cîntec oltenesc

Muică, noi sîntem un neamCa frunza lucind pe ram.Dacă n-aveam Jiu de soi,Trăgeam Oltul mai la noi.

Cerul, cît e de-nflorit,De la noi s-a-mpodobit,Din ștergarul nostru-a luatCurcubeul lui vărgat.

Luna plină, cînd e roată,Dupe pîinea-n țăst e luată,Iar sprinceana ei măiastră,Dupe cobilița noastră.

Serilor, ca să lucească,Le-am dat ia olteneasca,Cloșca lui cu puii goiEste cloța de la noi.

Muică, sîntem neam de piatrăCînd e vorba pentru vatră,Sîntem pui de Brîncoveni,De panduri și de Jieni.

Dacă n-aveam munți cum sînt,Îi scoteam și din pămînt,Dunăre dacă n-aveam,Jiul Dunăre-l făceam.

Song of Oltenia

Mother, we are a peopleLike the bright leaves on branches.If we hadn't had any Jiu river,We would have pulled Olt river closer to us.

The sky, as flowery as it is,Got its garment from us.He took his striped rainbowFrom our garment peace of cloth1.

The full moon, round as a wheel,has the shape of bread taken from the stove2,While its beautiful eyebrow3Has the shape of our shoulder pole4.

To the nights, for them to be bright,We gave them our Oltenian blouse,Its5 Hen and (golden) featherless chicken constellation6Is actually the hen from our poultry yard.

Mother, we are a rock-solid peopleWhen our land is at stake,We are children of Brâncoveanu,Of Pandurs and of Iancu Jianu.

If we hadn't had mountains like the ones we do,We would have pulled them out of the earth,If we hadn't had the Danube,We would have turned Jiu river itself into a Danube.
