Although the world...

 

       ... in memory of   Mihai Eminescu                                        ... in memory of  Corneliu M. Popescu

 
De-or trece anii cum trecură,                                           Although the world would call me free
Ea tot mai mult îmi va plăce,                                                 Each year the more her slave am I,
Pentru că-n toat-a ei faptura                                                 For in her very way to be
E-un "nu ştiu cum" ş-un "nu ştiu ce".                                   There's I don't know what, I don't know why.
 
M-a fermecat cu vreo scânteie                                            Already from the day we met
Din clipa-n care ne văzum ?                                                  Was my freedom mortal shot?
Deşi nu e decât femeie,                                                           She's but a girl as they, and yet
E totuşi altfel, "nu ştiu cum".                                                 There's something more, I don't know what.
 
De-aceea una-mi este mie                                                    
No matter what we speak, or do,
De ar vorbi, de ar tăce:                                                         The moments in sweet silence fly,
Dac-al ei glas e armonie,                                                        For somehow there is music too
E şi-n tăcere-i "nu ştiu ce".                                                     When she is mute, I don't Imow why.

Astfel robit de-aceeaşi jale                                                   
So likely to my dying day
Petrec mereu acelaşi drum...                                                To follow her will be my lot,
In taina farmecelor sale                                                          For in her sweet and candid way
E-un "nu ştiu ce" ş-un "nu ştiu cum".                                   There's I don't know why, I don't know what.
