Hello Romania I'm officially in love with your language so I' might be annoying you guys a bit during the following days
here's my first request:

Iti dau

Fericire daca vrei
Iti dau...
Si iubire daca vrei
Iti dau ...
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
Si stau ...

Este pentru prima oara
Cand in suflet se strecoara
Ce ? ... Iubirea...
Este pentru prima oara
Cand iubirea ma-nfioara ...
Stai, stai, stai...

N-ai sa crezi cat te iubesc acum,
N-ai sa ma crezi, nu...
N-ai sa stii cat sunt eu de nebun,
N-ai sa ma crezi...

Iti dau ...
Fericire daca vrei
Iti dau...
Si iubire daca vrei
Iti dau ...
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
Si stau ...

Te-am cautat si te-am gasit
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea...
Te-am cautat si te-am gasit
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea...

Dupa atata cautare
Vreau sa-mi dai o sarutare...
Vreau ...sa-mi dai...
Vreau o noapte de iubire,
Vreau un strop de fericire...
Vreau, vreau...

N-ai sa crezi cat te iubesc acum,
N-ai sa ma crezi, nu...
N-ai sa stii cat sunt eu de nebun,
N-ai sa ma crezi...

Iti dau ...
Fericire daca vrei
Iti dau...
Si iubire daca vrei
Iti dau ...
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
Si stau ...

thanks in advance

Can I try to translate songs as a learning exercise? Maybe someone can correct my mistakes.

Is this allowed? This one seems pretty easy. No problem if it isn't. I thought I could ask.

@Måneblomst, Who sings this song? I'd like to hear it.

@mike123 of course it is allowed this is a great way to practice the lang and improve it

and the singer is mihai traistariu

good luck with the translation looking forward to see it

Thanks kmmy!

All, Please feel free to edit the post directly if you have the ability. Or post the corrections and I'll fix this post.


Iti dau / I give to you.
by mihai traistariu

Fericire daca vrei
Happiness if you want
Iti dau...
I give to you.
Si iubire daca vrei
Also love if you want
Iti dau ...
I give to you.
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
You will tell me that you love me
Si stau ...
And I stay


Este pentru prima oara
It is for the first time.
Cand in suflet se strecoara
When it sneaks inside the soul.
Ce ? ... Iubirea...
What?... The Love...
Este pentru prima oara
It is for the first time
Cand iubirea ma-nfioara ...
When the love frightens me.
Stai, stai, stai...
Stay, stay, stay...

N-ai sa crezi cat te iubesc acum,
You're not going to believe how I love you now
N-ai sa ma crezi, nu...
You're not going to believe me, no
N-ai sa stii cat sunt eu de nebun,
You're not going to believe how much of a fool I am.
N-ai sa ma crezi...
You're not going to believe me...

Iti dau ...
Fericire daca vrei
Iti dau...
Si iubire daca vrei
Iti dau ...
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
Si stau ...

Te-am cautat si te-am gasit
I searched for you and I found you
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea...
My love, My love
Te-am cautat si te-am gasit
I searched for you and I found you
Iubirea mea, iubirea mea...
My love, My love

Dupa atata cautare
After so much searching
Vreau sa-mi dai o sarutare...
I want you to give me a kiss
Vreau ...sa-mi dai...
I want you...to give me...
Vreau o noapte de iubire,
I want a night of love,
Vreau un strop de fericire...
I want a pearl of happiness.
Vreau, vreau...
I want, I want...

N-ai sa crezi cat te iubesc acum,
N-ai sa ma crezi, nu...
N-ai sa stii cat sunt eu de nebun,
N-ai sa ma crezi...

Iti dau ...
Fericire daca vrei
Iti dau...
Si iubire daca vrei
Iti dau ...
Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
Si stau ...

A really solid translation! :B I'm still learning too! But here are some of the things that I saw. And if any one of the teachers or anybody sees that I did something wrong, PLEASE TELL ME! I don't wanna make a mistake and teach somebody wrong... If I do just tell me and I'll delete it, thank you! D

Tu sa-mi spui ca ma iubesti
You will tell me that you love me

You will tell me would be Ai sa-mi spui. What he says here is just kind of putting it out there as a suggestion or a desire. "For you to tell me that you love me."

N-ai sa crezi cat te iubesc acum,
You don't have to believe how I love you now
N-ai sa ma crezi, nu...
You don't have to believe me, no
N-ai sa stii cat sunt eu de nebun,
You don't have to know how I am crazy.
N-ai sa ma crezi...
You don't have to believ me...

This part has the "popular future tense." The popular future is made up of the conjugated verb of "a avea" combined with the subjunctive of the verb that's going to happen.

Ex. (Because they're easier to understand)

(Eu) am să cred I'm going to believe
(Tu) ai să crezi You're going to believe
(El) a să creadă He's going to believe
(Noi) am să credem We're going to believe
(Voi) aţi să credeţi You guys are going to believe
(Ele) au să creadă They're going to believe

The other thing is that "cat" can be like "how much," too. So you could translate it as, "You're not going to believe how much I love you now" and "You're not going to believe how much of a fool I am."

Dupa atata cautare
After so much searching

I think it makes just a little more sense phrasing it that way

Like I said, really good translation! I'm uber jealous :P

Hi junjou,

I hadn't thought about the popular future tense. I think you will be right here.

Anyway, Thanks for the compliment! And thanks for posting too. You made this more fun for learning. I appreciate your corrections and look forward to the official word.

@mike123: u've done a great job! bravo! keep it up!

Vreau sa-mi dai o sarutare...
I want you to give me a kiss.
Vreau ...sa-mi dai...
I want you...to give me...

@jounjoulover: nice explanations you are right with everything u said

"You will tell me would be Ai sa-mi spui" --- hmm this form of the future isn't really used.. the form you will hear often is "(tu) o sa-mi spui"

good job guys!

Vreau ...sa-mi dai...
I want you...to give me...

This threw me off. I knew it didn't sound right to me, but I was thinking:
> Te vreau sa-mi dai = I want you to give me....

Thanks Junjou and Kmmy This was both fun and educational.

I have edited all (I think) the corrections in my original post. Please check once more to make sure I didn't miss anything.

hehe sorry. i was thinking that this will confuse u.. i just wanted to express that i'm the one who receives not the sender as u said.

sa-mi dai - to give me
vreau = i want

so this would be : i want.... to give me but this doesnt sound good.. or at least for me

ahhh okay.

Mersi pentru înţelegerea

(Thanks for the understanding.)

Wow guys, congratulations!!! I'm really impressed, this is the spirit, is ok to compete with others in order to make more and better progresses. :P
Keep up the good work, and as I said before, if you need any help or advices concerning the music or the language, just pm me! Btw, I have the FSI Romanian grammar book.

Thanks a lot everyone for the translation, corrections and so on. that's pretty cool
