Nicu Alifantis "Romanta" lyrics

Translation to:en

Romanta

De cîte ori pe înseratÎn tîrgul mic te-am aşteptatCînd tremurînd că n-ai să viiUmblam pe străzile pustii

Se însera şi-n cîte-o poartăPica domol o floare moartăCe risipea un stins parfumDe liliac sau de salcîm

Prin case albe, cu zoreleClipea o lampă sub perdeleŞi răsuna un vechi pianPrin vălul serii sub castan

O ceaţă cobora uşorSimţeam in suflet un fiorIar lampagiul cap de uliţ'Prindea o stea in virf de suliţ'

Şi se pierdea cu pasul rarPrin tupla serii pe trotuarCînd eu cîntam ca şi-alte dăţiPe-acelaşi drum să te arăţi

Cînd te iveai intr-un tîrziuPrin tîrgul ce dormea pustiuPărea că pomii toţi sînt pliniDe flori de cîntec şi lumini

Romance

How many times, at dawnIn the little town I've been waitingTrembling you wouldn't comeI was walking on empty streets

It was getting dark, and at some gatesGently fell a dead flowerThat gave a fade perfumeOf lily or acacia*

Through white homes, with flowers**A lamp blinked under curtainsAnd an old piano sangThrough the evening's veil under the chestnut

A fog descended lightlyI felt a shiver in my soulAnd the lamp man, at the end of the alleyCaught a star, at a spear's end

And he was gone, walking lowThrough the evening's fog*** on the sidewalkWhen I was singing like the other dayOn the same road, to show yourself

When you arrived, so lateThrough the town that slept silentlySeemed like the trees are fullOf singing and light flowers
