Am gasit o melodie evreieasca veche despre Romania, si e foarte amuzanta

Versuri traduse in engleza:

Oh! Rumania, Rumania, Rumania …

Once there was a land, sweet and lovely.

Oh! Rumania, Rumania, Rumania …

Once there was a land, sweet and fine.

To live there is a pleasure;

What your heart desires you can get;

A mamalige, a pastrami, a karnatzl(carnat),

And a glass of wine, aha … !

​

Ay, in Rumania life is so good;

No one knows of care;

Everywhere they’re drinking wine –

And having a bite of kashtaval(cascaval)

Hay, digadi dam …

​

Ay, in Rumania life is so good;

No one knows of worry.

They drink wine, though it’s late;

And have a bite of kastrovet(castravete)

Hay, digadi dam …

​

Oh, my, help, I’m going crazy!

I care only for brinze and mamalige

I dance and jump up to the ceiling

When I eat a patlazhele(patlagea)

Dzing ma, tay yidldi tam …

​

What a pleasure, what could be better!

Oh, the only delight is Rumanian wine.

Rumanians drink wine

And eat mamalige;

And he who kisses his own wife,

Is the one who’s crazy.

Zets, dzing ma, tay yidl di tam …

​

“May salvation come from heaven … “

Stop and kiss the cook, Khaye,

Dressed in rags and tatters;

She makes a pudding for the Sabbath.

Zets! Tay ti didl di tam …

​

Moyshe Khayim comes along

And takes away the best part;

Moyshe Khayim, Borukh Shmil –

Tickle her on the sly.

Zets! Tay tidl di tam …

​

And the girl pouts, alas,

Seems unwilling, but allows it.

Tshu!

​

It’s good to kiss a lass

When she’s sweet sixteen;

When one kisses an old main,

She begins to grumble.

Zets! Tay yidl di dam …

What a pleasure, what could be better!

Oh, the only delight is Rumanian wine …
