I will tell you now
ITI VOI SPUNE ACUM
About the difficult fate of a child
DESPRE DESTINUL ANEVOIOS AL UNUI COPIL
How it is difficult to be a child
CAT E DE GREU SA FII COPIL
I don’t have enough words to describe…
NU AM DESTULE CUVINTE SA DESCRIU
I’m being told day till night:
MI SE SPUNE ZI SI NOAPTE:
“Be serious and behave like a grown up”
"FII SERIOASA SI COMPORTA-TE CA UN ADULT!"
And I don’t know what to do
SI NU STIU CE SA FAC
With my fragile soul of a child
CU SUFLETUL MEU FRAGIL DE COPIL
Choreography from the morning
COREGRAFIE DE DIMINEATA
Music scales at dinner time
OCTAVE LA CINA
Painting, and figure skating
PICTURA SI PATINAJ
Chess, classical ballet
SAH, BALET CLASIC
Fencing, football and embroidery
SCRIMA, FOTBAL SI BRODERIE
Saxophone and equestrian sports
SAXOFON SI SPORTURI ECVESTRE
I’m still being told by parents and neighbours:
INCA MI SE SPUNE DE CATRE PARINTI SI VECINI:
“Always be a good girl”
"SA FII MEREU O FETITA CUMINTE"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
DA, DA, DA
But…
DAR...
I will secretly confess to you
ITI VOI MARTURISI IN SECRET
That I am deeply in love
CA SUNT FOARTE INDRAGOSTITA
Not with a poet, not with a dancer
NU DE UN POET, NU DE UN DANSATOR
But with a hooligan pugnacious boy
DAR DE UN GOLAN VIOLENT
He doesn’t want to become president
CARE NU VREA SA DEVINA PRESEDINTE
And he is the terror of excellent pupils
SI CARE ESTE TEROAREA ELEVILOR EXCELENTI
But Shakespeare couldn’t even dream of
DAR SHAKESPEARE NU PUTEA NICI MACAR SA VISEZE
These blue eyes
ACESTI OCHI ALBASTRI
Together we will put dad on points
IMPREUNA IL VOM PUNE PE TATA LA PUNCT
We will force mum to paint
O VOM FORTA PE MAMA SA PICTEZE
There are music scales for granny
PENTRU BUNICA AVEM OCATVE
And we will teach grandpa to embroider
SI PE BUNICUL IL VOM INVATA SA BRODEZE
Choreography at night
COREGRAFIE SEARA
And music scales at dinner time
SI OCTAVE LA CINA
My life is like a schedule
VIATA MEA ESTE CA UN PROGRAM
And there is no Romeo in these plans
SI NU EXISTA NICIUN ROMEO IN ACESTE PLANURI
Football and embroidery
FOTBAL SI BORDERIE
Saxophone and equestrian sports
SAXOFON SI SPORTURI ECVESTRE
I’m still being told by parents:
PARINTII MEI INCA-MI MAI SPUN
“Always be a good girl”
"SA FII INTOTDEAUNA O FETITA CUMINTE"
Yes, yes, Always!
DA, DA, INTOTDEAUNA!
