Can anyone translate this song? Thanks in advance.

Nicu Alifantis - Ploaia in luna lui martie

Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
prin mansarde...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
prin cerul oval,
norii curgeau,in luna lui marte..
Peretii odaii erau
nelinistiti,sub desene de creta..
Sufletele noastre dansau
nevazute-ntr-o lume concreta..
"O sa te ploua pe aripi"spuneai..
Ploua cu cu globuri pe glob si prin vreme
"Nu-i nimic"iti spuneam "lorelai"
"Mie imi ploua zborul cu pene!"

Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
prin mansarde...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
prin cerul oval,
norii curgeau,in luna lui marte..
Si ma inaltam si nu mai stiam
ca-mi lasasem in lume odaia,
tu ma strigai din urma:
"Raspunde-mi cine-s mai frumosi?
Oamenii?Ploaia?"

"O sa te ploua pe aripi"spuneai..
Ploua cu cu globuri pe glob si prin vreme
"Nu-i nimic,nu-i nimic!"iti spuneam "lorelai"
"Mie imi ploua zborul cu pene!"
Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
prin mansarde...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
prin cerul oval,
norii curgeau,in luna luï marte..

[Lady_A]

My try:


Nicu Alifantis - Ploaia in luna lui martie
Rain in March

Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
There was a pouring rain and we were loving each other
prin mansarde...
in the penthouses...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
Through the window's sky
prin cerul oval,
through the oval sky
norii curgeau,in luna lui marte..
the clouds were flowing, in March...
Peretii odaii erau
The room walls were
nelinistiti,sub desene de creta..
restless, under the chalk-made drawings
Sufletele noastre dansau
Our souls were dancing
nevazute-ntr-o lume concreta..
invisible in a concrete world...
"O sa te ploua pe aripi"spuneai..
"The rain will fall on your wings" you were saying...
Ploua cu globuri pe glob si prin vreme
It's raining with balls on the globe and through time
"Nu-i nimic"iti spuneam "lorelai"
"It's okay" I was telling you "lorelai"
"Mie imi ploua zborul cu pene!"
"It's raining on my flight with feathers!"

Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
There was a pouring rain and we were loving each other
prin mansarde...
in the penthouses...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
Through the window's sky
prin cerul oval,
through the oval sky
norii curgeau,in luna lui marte..
the clouds were flowing, in March...
Si ma inaltam si nu mai stiam
And I was going higher and higher and I wasn't aware anymore
ca-mi lasasem in lume odaia,
that I left my room somewhere in the world
tu ma strigai din urma:
you were calling me from behind:
"Raspunde-mi cine-s mai frumosi?
"Answer me: what's more beautiful?
Oamenii?Ploaia?"
People? The rain?"

"O sa te ploua pe aripi"spuneai..
"The rain will fall on your wings" you were saying...
Ploua cu globuri pe glob si prin vreme
It's raining with balls on the globe and through time
"Nu-i nimic,nu-i nimic!"iti spuneam "lorelai"
"It's nothing, it's nothing" I was telling you "lorelai"
"Mie imi ploua zborul cu pene!"
"It's raining on my flight with feathers!"
Ploua infernal si noi ne iubeam
There was a pouring rain and we were loving each other
prin mansarde...
in the penthouses...
Prin cerul ferestrei,
Through the window's sky
prin cerul oval,
through the oval sky
norii curgeau,in luna lui marte..
the clouds were flowing, in March...

Thank you very much.

Actually, "mansarda" it's better translated as "attic", not "penthouse". And "luna lui Marte", although it refers to March, sounds much better "the month of Mars". So the poem is "Rain in the month of Mars".

This song is difficult to translate because the lyrics are from a poem of a very esteemed Romanian poet, Nichita Stanescu. If you have the possibility, look for a book of him translated in English and you'll not be dissapointed.
