Translated lyrics
Doina Play, fiddle, play. Play me a doina. Everyone knows by now That Adam in Paradise Discovered that certain secret: Covered only by a few leaves, Reigning over men and gods Forever there is a Mother-Eve. She has this strange power, Not knowledge or brains, It's a look, a gesture, a spell. Flaming cheeks, colored as plums Red lips, like strings of coral; Sinful secrets hidden In her godlike body. Her blood boiling, as a gypsy's Her teeth, white as pearls, Her youthful charm bubbling over Like the best champagne. I love you I love you I love you, child with all that is in me. I love you I love you You are with me constantly, asleep or awake. Oh, your beautiful eyes Are so strangely fashioned There's a flame leaping from them. And all we both hold dear Is sanctified in their fire As love burns, unquenchably. Our feelings play like tunes on the fiddle Tunes of fields, of melodies, Today's and yesterday's Trees are sighing, flowers singing: She'll be mine, she'll be mine. Doina - my heart's libation Doina - a sapling tree Doina - the eternally young one Doina - my childhood dream. Doina - you have cast your spell With every tender note. Doina- you have made me drunk With the wine of gods. My love, my soul I'm yours, you're mine. Love - today, love - last night. Love for good and love for bad. Hopa - lovely doina, hopa - lovely song Hopa - lovely doina, hopa - lovely song I love you, I love you.
