In this case, 'om da' is a popular future form of the verb 'a da'.

It goes like this in present tense:
Eu dau
Tu dai
El/ea dă

Noi dăm
Voi daţi
Ei dau

And future:
Eu voi da
Tu vei da
El/ea va da

Noi vom da
Voi veti da
Ei vor da

"Leru-i Doamne"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWeBzBi4fr4

Aduc vâscul de noroc pentru casă
Leru-i, Doamne
Şi tămâie să-i dăm foc, să miroasă
Leru-i, Doamne.

În odăi cu busuioc şi cerci albe
Leru-i, Doamne
Să presară flori de soc pentru fete
Leru-i, Doamne.

Bradul casei îmbrăcat cu orfande/ofrande (don't know which it is)
Leru-i, Doamne
Ca un fiu de împărat din poveste
Leru-i, Doamne.

Fete şi femei gătesc ca în soare
Leru-i, Doamne
Pentru un ospăţ domnesc de Crăciun sfânt
Leru-i, Doamne.

Ne aşteaptă pe la porţi gospodarii
Leru-i, Doamne
Semnul tainicelor sorţi se arată
Leru-i, Doamne.

De Crăciunul românesc se adună
Leru-i, Doamne
Toţi cei care te iubesc, să petreacă
Leru-i, Doamne.

Se aud clopote din cer, bate toaca
Leru-i, Doamne
Pentru tine leru-i ler,
Că şi tu român eşti, Doamne

I guess.. nobody did...so as i promised - i'm here and i translated

"Într-un miez de noapte"
In a midnight

Într-un miez de noapte lină, înstelată
On a smooth star lighted night
Îngeri de lumină la păstori se arată
Light angels show themselves to shepherds

Şi pe când păstorii tare se-nspăimântă
And while the shepherds got seriously frightened
Îngerii, cu grabă, dulce le cuvântă:
Angels, with a rush, with sweet words:

"Nu vă fie teamă, căci v-aduc de sus
"Don't be afraid cause I bring for you from above
Vestea că pe lume s-a născut Isus
The news that Jesus was born to the world

Îmbrăcat cu slavă, dar fără de palate
Clothed with glory, but without palaces
Care mântui-va lumea de păcate
Whom will save the world from sin

Mergeţi dar în staul să-L vedeţi şi voi
Go to the stable so you will see him yourselves
Buni păstori şi vrednici păzitori de oi"
Good shepherds and worthy sheep guardians"

Şi s-au dus păstorii unde li s-a spus
And the shepherds went to where they were told
Şi-au văzut în iesle pe pruncul Isus
and saw the baby Jesus in the manger

Prunc sărac în scutec de sărac la fel
Poor baby in poor diapers as well
Şi-au crezut păstorii cei dintâi în el
And the shepherds believed first in him

Lui Isus atuncea tainic se-nchinară
They devoted to Jesus in secret
Magii ce veniră dintr-o altă ţară
The kings which would come from another country

Şi-au pornit să spună vestea-n lung şi-n lat
And they started to tell the news-n long and wide
Că Isus născutul lumii îi e împărat
That Jesus the born of the world is an emperor

Însă una magii n-au ştiut să spună
But one thing the kings couldn't say
Că Isus purta-va şi de spini cunună
That Jesus worn a crown of thorns also

Sorry i couldn't translate the "leru-i" part... maybe some romanian could help u out better

Şi tămâie să-i dăm foc, să miroasă

.....God
Să presară flori de soc pentru fete
To sprinkle sambucus flowers for the girls

.....God

The sign of hidden lot is shown to us
Leru-i, Doamne.
.....God

De Crăciunul românesc se adună
They gather on the romanian x-mas
Leru-i, Doamne
.....God

Toţi cei care te iubesc, să petreacă
All that love you, should party
Leru-i, Doamne.
.....God

Se aud clopote din cer, bate toaca
Bells are heard from the sky, the semantron strikes
Leru-i, Doamne
...God
Pentru tine leru-i ler,
For you ....
Că şi tu român eşti, Doamne
cause u'r romanian also, God

That's ok, because 'leru-i ler' can't be translated into English. it is a popular expression used in traditional Romanian carols a long time ago and the old version was kept. So, it's a sort of very old 'la la la'

oh thanks any chance you coould please translate "seara de craciun frumos, deschide usa, crestine and florile dalbe" soon?

hey thanks alot (again) I think I forgot to ask before, can I please have the diacritics too - sorry to be a pain . The christmas evening - is it reffering to christmas eve or the actual christmas night? thanks again!

LE:I saw countingstars translated before me...Luckily, I have the diacritics .
Regarding your question, the song refers to the actual Christmas night

Seara de Crăciun frumos,/The beautiful Xmas evening
Seara de Crăciun,/The Xmas evening
Mare bucurie-o fost,/There was a great joy

In oraş era Irod/In the city was Irod
Seara de Crăciun,/The Xmas evening
Imparat peste norod/Emperor over the people
Seara de Crăciun frumos/The beautiful Xmas evening

El n-o/n-a* vrut să le dea pat/He didn't want to give them beds
Seara de Crăciun,/The Xmas evening
şi-într-un grajd au intrat/And they entered a stable
Seara de Crăciun frumos/The beautiful Xmas evening

Pe al'* nostru împărat/To our emperor
Seara de Crăciun frumos/The beautiful Xmas evening

*micuţ means little, micuţi is the plural form of micuţ, so we are using the singular form in this case
*the form used nowadays is "nu a vrut" or the short form "n-o vrut", but the singer (little Cleopatra Stratan) has a Moldavian heritage, so she sings the way she speaks, using some specific forms of some words. So both versions are correct, because "n-o vrut" is a short form of "nu o vrut", and "o vrut" is an ols form, now used in villages.
*"al" means our, while "o" means one, or is a form of the pronoun "her"

I want to congratulate you for your understanding of Romanian. Cleopatra Stratan has a funny Moldavian kind-of accent and it was hard for me, a native speaker to understand exactly what she's saying in some of her songs. Well done, I'll try to translate more this days!

ok so I've tried to put the diacritics in myself - can someone please correct all my mistakes?

Seara de Crăciun frumos,
Seara de Crăciun,
Mare bucurie-o fost, - countingstars, you accidently forgot to translate this sentence. is it something like "the was a lot of joy"?
Seara de Crăciun frumos

Iosif şi Sfânta Maria
Seara de Crăciun,

Seara de Crăciun frumos.

În oraş era Irod
Seara de Crăciun,
Împărat peste norod
Seara de Crăciun frumos

El n-a vrut să le dea pat
Seara de Crăciun.
Şi-ntr-un grajde au intra
Seara de Crăciun frumos

Într-un grajd cu boi şi vaci
Seara de Crăciun
La nişte oameni săraci
Seara de Crăciun frumos

Când de ziuă se făcea
Seara de Crăciun
Maica pe Isus naştea

thanks for explaining all of that for me and thanks for the diacritics, sorry I didn't see your post before, but I was almost right

my little contribution to these language forums - the plural of "Ox" is actually "Oxen"

thanks!

ahaha i read somewhere that leru-i ler...comes from " alle-luia" who knows

tigress- i like your new avatar, is it you?

Oh I just found a better translation for this line "In oras era Irod"

In oras era Irod
In the city was Herod,
Imparat peste norod
The emporer over the people

Irod > Herod, who was a king
