Poarta-a vintului incet deschide, aspru suier 'ncet purcede |
|
Iarna incuiata, codru inverzit. |
|
Alb si negru sa-mpleteste, timpu tainic daspleteste |
|
Picatura pica, piatra sa daspica, |
|
Hora sa-nvirteste, apa daspleteste, ghiata inchegata, |
|
Da vechi timp purtata, din miaz munte da piatra; |
|
Samn ca timpu sa porneste. |
|
Dalasine. |
|
Si p' ales fagas. |
|
La-ndasitu codrilor, in glasu vinturilor, |
|
Si-n umbra pietrii, chip sfrintat, 'n munte, 'n 'nalt |
|
Ceahlau Ce din gheata inghetata, lua forma ce-i fu data. |
|
Vesnic! Chiparus... prin para si foc, vijelios... joc; |
|
Ca prin foc sa arza, dincolo sa treaca, prin jar si cenusa |
|
Sus pe calea cea apusa, ce-a alesului fagas. |
|
Frati blajini, rohmani! |
|
Din aievea fiind, da dupa apa |
|
Simbetii, |
|
Dupa brazda lu |
|
Novac, Din scorbu pamintului, al din naltu muntelui, |
|
Muntelui caruntului, s-al bradului, |
|
Bradului, viteazului. |
|
La virfsori da munte, la bradui marunti, la stina batrina, |
|
Unde iarba creste, da-n patru sa-mpleteste, |
|
Cerbu runcului, fiara cimpului, s-a pamintului, agale-n plai coboara... |
|
Toti copaci in calea sa, crengile-s pleca |
|
Coarnele-i margaritare s-impunzatoare |
|
Laganat purtat, spre al tainic loc, fagas. |
|
Cum urzica sa nunteste, sa-nunteste s-nfloreste, |
|
Din intins cuprins da lume, scaun da lege sa aduna |
|
Vorba sa o spuna, raspicat si pentru tati. |
|
Legea bitii si cea fricii. |
|
Drept! Pieptu ursului brazdat, |
|
Da Focu Viu, da dupa |
|
Strimba Oilor |
|
In mijlocu poienilor, si-n mijlocu padurilor, |
|
Flacara-i rasfringe, si din foc si singe |
|
Mugur verde da brad, imbucat, insingerat... s-ntrupat... dascatusat. |
|
D-aci, incotro... dincolo... |
|
Fagas! [English translation:] |
|
Open gates of wind, a whistle slowly crawling in |
|
Locked winter, greened forests. |
|
Black and white are blending secretly untwining time |
|
The drop falls, splitting the rock, |
|
The round dance starts to circle untwining waters; the strong ice |
|
Which has long traveled, from the rocky mountain's heart; |
|
A sign: the beginning of time. |
|
By itself. |
|
On the chosen path. |
|
At the forest's heart, in the wind's whispering, |
|
In the rock's shadow... a sculptured face on the heights of |
|
Ceahlau Mountain |
|
Which, from icy ice, took the shape it had been given. |
|
Forever! Pepper... through flames and fire, stormy... game; |
|
Burned in fire, through embers and ashes, crossing beyond |
|
Upwards on a faded path - that of the chosen path. |
|
Kind-hearted brothers, rohmani! |
|
Coming from the real, from beyond |
|
Apa Simbetii, |
|
Beyond Novac's furrow, |
|
From the heart of the earth, in the mountains high, |
|
The grayish mountains, and of the fir tree, |
|
Fir tree... the brave! |
|
In the mountains high, through the small firs, at the old sheepfold |
|
Where the grass grows, interweaving four by four, |
|
Stag of the defrosted realm, beast of the fields and of the earth, slowly descending... |
|
The trees in his way they all bend their branches |
|
His goading antlers like pearls |
|
Swinging gait... towards the secret place - the path. |
|
Stinging nettle sprouting, and blooming, |
|
From the vastness of the world a law is taking shape |
|
To utter the word, bluntly, and for all. |
|
Law of the club and of the fear. |
|
True! Furrowed bear chest, |
|
By the Living |
|
Fire, from beyond |
|
Strimba Oilor |
|
At the heart of the clearings, at the heart of the woods, |
|
Its flame throws back, and from fire and blood |
|
Green fir's bud, gobbled up, stained with blood... embodied... unchained. |
|
From here, to where... beyond... |
|
The path! |
