------------
[Verse 1]
In our land, fir forests stand
And fields like silk lie glowing;
So many butterflies we have,
And so much sorrow flowing.
[Verse 2]
From foreign lands, the nightingales
Come hear our doina’s yearning;
We have our songs and flowers here,
And tears forever burning...
[Verse 3]
Up in the sky, the ancient sun
Shines fiercer on our mountains,
Since on our plains it rises now
No longer for our counting...
[Verse 4]
Our forests whisper tales of grief
Within their shaded mazes,
And sorrow rides the Mureș stream,
And all three Crișes’ phases.
[Verse 5]
Our wives, in tears, spin thread and wool,
Their spindles turning faster;
And holding tight their grief, they weep—
The father and the master.
[Orchestral linck]
-------
[Verse 6]
Beneath our tender‑hearted sky
The hora moves more slowly,
For all our songs are filled with tears
In every gaze held lowly.
[Verse 7]
And butterflies grow shy and soft
In blue horizons flying;
Only the dew on roses shows
Our tears that won’t stop crying.
[Verse 8]
And forests twinned with us for life
Feel trembling in their being,
They say the Olt, poor ancient one,
Is woven from our grieving...
[Verse 9]
We hold a dream unfulfilled still,
A child of pain and sorrow;
Its mourning made our elders fade,
And parents of tomorrow...
[Verse 10]
From times forgotten, long ago,
Groaning beneath life’s fire,
The emptiness of such a dream
We water with our tears’ desire.
