Lullaby
Original text
Hăita liuliu ş-îi dormi,
Hăita liuliu ş-îi dormi,
Când te-i scula mărişi,
Când te-i scula mărişi,
Mari ca şi paltinu,
Mari ca şi paltinu, măi,
Tari ca şi stejariu,
Tari ca şi stejariu, măi,
Şi şe mari di-ajutor, hăi,
Păi şi şe mari di-ajutor,
Di dat apă pe cuptior,
Di dat apă pe cuptior,
Tatî vara la cosât,
Tatî vara la cosât, măi,
Hăi, şi mami la prăşuit,
Şi mami la prăşuit, măi,
Hăi liuliu, liuliu, liuliu,
Hăi liuliu, liuliu, liuliu.
English Translation
Hi-ta lulu, go to sleep
Hi-ta lulu, go to sleep,
When you get up you'll be bigger
When you get up you'll be bigger,
As tall as a sycamore
As tall as a sycamore, you,
As strong as an oak
As strong as an oak, you,
And you'll be stronger to help,
And you'll be stronger to help, let's go,
To put water on the stove
To put water on the stove,
To harvest all summer long
To harvest all summer long, oh
Let's go, with mommy you'll weed,
With mommy you'll weed, oh,
Let's go lulu, lulu, lulu,
Let's go lulu, lulu, lulu.
