Here are the lyrics. My whole family loves her, from my 2.y.o. daughter to my husband. We tell people about her all the time here and hope her album will move beyond Romania.

La o margine de lume
Fara cineva ca sa-l indrume...
Ajunge omul la Dumnezeu.
"Doamne am venit la tine
Ca sa cer doar ce mi se cuvine...
Aj vrea pamant
Pe pamantul meu.."
"Bine..[bine]
Asa va fi maine[maine]
In zor de zi
Pana unde o sa ajungi mergand
Cu piciorul tau
Pana acolo vei avea pamant"
Zise Dumnezeu...

Iar a doua zi din vise,
Omul nici macar nu se trezise...
Iesind pe poarta,a disparut
Si in loc s-o ia incetu'
A fugit cum nu fugise bietu'
In viatza lui,pana a cazut...
Tuc-tuc [tuc-tuc]
Se-aude-n zori
Tuc-tuc[tuc-tuc]
De mii de ori.
Nu e sansa cu pareri de rau
Pentru k din toate
Sansa care-ï de la dumnezeu
Doar o data bate!
Doar o data bate!...

[Lady_A]

THE CHANCE

La o margine de lume
AT ONE END OF THE WORLD
Fara cineva ca sa-l indrume...
WITHOUT ANYONE LEADING HIM
Ajunge omul la Dumnezeu.
MAN REACHES GOD
"Doamne am venit la tine
GOD, I'VE COME TO YOU
Ca sa cer doar ce mi se cuvine...
TO ASK FOR WHAT I AM IN TITLE TO RECEIVE
Aj vrea pamant
I WOULD LIKE A PIECE OF LAND
Pe pamantul meu.."
ON MY LAND (that is on my territory)
"Bine..[bine]
FINE.
Asa va fi maine[maine]
THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GONNA BE FROM TOMORROW ON
In zor de zi
IN THE MORNING
Pana unde o sa ajungi mergand
TILL WHERE YOU BE ABLE TO WALK
Cu piciorul tau
WITH YOUR FEET
Pana acolo vei avea pamant"
TILL THERE YOU'LL HAVE YOUR LAND
Zise Dumnezeu...
GOD SAID.

Iar a doua zi din vise,
THE SECOND DAY
Omul nici macar nu se trezise...
THE MAN WASN'T EVEN AWAKE FROM HIS DREAMS
Iesind pe poarta,a disparut
AND HE WENT OUT THE DOOR, HE DISAPPEARED
Si in loc s-o ia incetu'
AND INSTEAD OF GOING SLOWLY
A fugit cum nu fugise bietu'
HE RAN LIKE NEVER BEFORE
In viatza lui,pana a cazut...
IN HIS LIFE, UNTIL HE FELL
Tuc-tuc [tuc-tuc]
KNOCK-KNOCK
Se-aude-n zori
HE HEARD IN THE MORNING
Tuc-tuc[tuc-tuc]
KNOCK-KNOCK
De mii de ori.
THOUSANDS OF TIMES
Nu e sansa cu pareri de rau
IT'S NOT THE CHANCE, SORRY
Pentru k din toate
BECAUSE OF ALL CHANCES
Sansa care-ï de la dumnezeu
THE CHANCE THAT GOD GIVES YOU
Doar o data bate!
KNOCKS ONLY ONCE
Doar o data bate!
KNOCKS ONLY ONCE

Thanks so much! I love the meaning of the song.

You're welcome
She is the daughter of Pavel Stratan and is her father that composes the songs. She sang in a concert for 2 hours, how did you find out about her?

A friend sent us a link to her Ghita video on Youtube. Gradually we've been able to find her singing a couple more songs, and a small part of her concert, and a commercial. It's amazing she had a concert that lasted 2 hours! Some adults can't sing that long!

Finally I got on iTunes and downloaded her album. My very favorite is Noapte Buna, which I know means Good Night, but those are the only words I know in that one. :-) I may post the lyrics later for that one, and the one from the commercial that sounds in English like it starts out "Hoop shot". My 2-year-old daughter is constantly singing it, and it sounds like she's singing about basketball! :-D

GOOD NIGHT

Cum se lasa noaptea-n casa
WHEN NIGHT COMES
Somnul vine la copii
SLEEP COMES TO CHILDREN
Sa ne spuna NOAPTE BUNA
TO TELL THEM "GOOD NIGHT"
Sh povesti la jucarii
AND TO TELL STORIES TO THEIR TOYS
In casuta prea micutza
IN THE LITTLE HOUSE
Stau piticii neclintiti
DWARFS STAY STILL
Unde zana ii da mana
WHERE THE FAIRY GIVES HER HAND
Printului sh toti sunt fericiti... x3
TO THE PRINCE AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY

Iar din ceruri te cununa
AND FROM THE SKY
Luna plina de mister
THE FULL MOON WED YOU
Unde stele se aduna
WHERE STARS GATHER
Fara numar sus pe cer
COUNTLESS IN THE SKY
In hainutza-i de vapaie
IN HER TINY COAT
Sh frumoasa ca un vis
BEAUTIFUL LIKE A DREAM
Ne patrunde in odaie
SHE GETS IN OUR ROOM
Chiar de geamul nu mai e deschis... x3
EVEN IF THE WINDOW ISN'T OPEN ANYMORE

Iar dimneatza prinde viata
AND IN THE MORNING SHE COMES TO LIFE
A povestilor e roz
THE PINK LIFE OF FAIRYTALES
Sta in soapta sh ne-asteapta
SHE WAITS QUIET
Sa se joace , iar cu noi
TO PLAY WITH US AGAIN
Fiecare jucarie
EVERY TOY
Universul ei intreg
HER WHOLE UNIVERSE
Are suflet sh e vie
HAS A SOUL AND IT'S ALIVE
Numai cei maturi nu ïnteleg... x3
ONLY GROWN-UPS DON'T UNEDRSTAND...

THIS SONG IT'A LIKE A SMALL FAIRYTALE...

[Lady_A]

Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Daca ma intelegi
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME
Da` daca nu nu te-ntrista
BUT IF YOU DON'T, DON'T BE SAID
Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-le-li
Daca stii sa numeri numara 1,2 si..!
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COUNT...SAY 1, 2 AND...

Cateodata seara stau pe spate
I LIE SOMETIMES AT NIGHT
Si ma uit in sus,
AND I LOOK ABOVE
Altii numara cate stele-s
OTHERS COUNT HOW MANY STARS ARE THERE
Da` eu cate nu-s
I COUNT HOW MANY THERE AREN'T
Nu -ncerca degeaba ca oricum nu reusesti
DON'T TRY IN VAIN, CAUSE ANYWAY YOU WON'T SUCCEED
Doar de numeri pana la unu fara sa te opresti
ONLY IF YOU COUNT TO 1 WITHOUT STOPPING

Nu conteaza care-i faza daca nu renunti
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO IF YOU DON'T GIVE UP
Important e sa tii minte ce trebu` sa uiti
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE TO FORGET
Eu as spune ce-i pe bune
I WOULD SAY WHAT IS RIGHT
Si ce nu-i perfect
AND WHAT ISN'T PERFECT
Dar ma tem ca o sa ma intelegeti corect
BUT I AM AFRAID YOU WILL GET ME RIGHT

Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Daca ma intelegi
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME
Da` daca nu nu te-ntrista
BUT IF YOU DON'T, DON'T BE SAID
Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-le-li
Daca stii sa numeri numara 1,2 si..!
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COUNT...SAY 1, 2 AND...


Cine-ar vrea sa afle in ce zodie se afla racul,
WHO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S THE CANCER'S SIGN
Cum se-ajunge intr-o secunda in Cuba cu bacul
HOW YOU CAN GET TO CUBA IN ONE MINUTE WITH A FERRYBOAT
Si cu ce viteza-ar trebui sa ne oprim,
WITH WHAT SPEED SHOULD WE STOP
Care-i antonimul la cuvantul sinonim.
WHAT'S THE ANTONYM OF THE WORD SYNONYM

Ori mai bine-ar fi sa afli cum e cand e bine,
OR IT WOULD BE BETTER TO KNOW HOW'S TO BE WELL
Daca nu gasesti raspuns ,il gasesti la mine
IF YOU DON'T FIND AN ANSWER, ASK ME
Pentru ca deja sunt mica si am inteles
BECAUSE I AM ALREADY LITTLE AND I'VE UNDERSTOOD
La ce varst-am implinit trei ani.
AT WHAT AGE I'VE TURNED 3 (YEARS OLD)
Mama,ce succes !
WOW, WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT!

Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Daca ma intelegi
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME
Da` daca nu nu te-ntrista
BUT IF YOU DON'T, DON'T BE SAID
Hop sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-le-li
Daca stii sa numeri numara 1,2 si..!
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COUNT...SAY 1, 2 AND...

This song it's about contrasts, about saying things up side down, a words game. In Romanian sounds really nice, i hope i've expressed it well enough in English so you can get the idea.
Best regards.

[TuscanyTrace]

The fairy tale is so imaginative. Is it from a traditional story? Whoever wrote both these songs is quite a poet! Her dad? Or someone else?

Yes, you did convey that it's a word game. I kind of wondered about that from the sounds of the words.

Thanks so much!

[Lady_A]

You're welcome!
I don't know about Good Night, but the other one was written by her father.
