Oh, trandafir fragil, delicat,
De vremuri grele încercat.
Oh, floare-n suflet frântă,
Ce răspândești aromă sfântă!
Fii veselă, nu plânge,
Tulpina-ți nu se frânge.
Te rog, acum nu te-ntrista.
Soarta oricum n-o poți schimba.
De ce să suferi de pe-acum?
Mai ai multe zile de parfum.
Boboc micuț, naiv... Drăguțule,
Abia te-ai deschis, iar ție, prostuțule,
Deja ți-e teamă că te ofilești.
Prea-bună floare, nu lăcrima petale!
Cumva spre moarte te grăbești?
Zadarnic te-am rugat.
Parcă nici n-ai fi ascultat
Și-ai plâns atât de mult
Că ultima-ți petală a căzut.
English Translation:
Tears
Oh, fragile, delicate rose,
Hard times have tried you.
Oh, broken souled flower
a saint aroma you emit!
Cheer up, don't cry,
your stem is not bending in.
Now, please, don't be sad!
It's not like you can change your fate.
Why suffer from now on?
There are many days of perfume left.
Little, naive flower bud... Lovely one,
You've barely spread your petals and you, silly one,
Are already afraid of fading away
Kind flower, don't cry petals!
Are you by chance in a hurry to die?
I begged of you in vain.
It's like you didn't even listen
And you cried so much
That you last petal has fallen.
