I had not heard of Romanian folk singer Maria Tanase until two days ago. Perhaps this is not surprisng as she died a few months after my birth and Romanian folk singers were not in vogue in Corkadoragha at the time. Still one can make amends.
My dear friend Redwine has provided this translation of the lyrics
Whosoever loves and leaves
May god send them punishment
The slither of the snake
The walk of the beetle
The whizzing of the wind
The dust of the earth
Because the ant thats an ant
With big body and small mind
And with a slender waist
That walks beneath the ground
Still can keep its word
But us baptized humans
Only us baptized humans
Cant keep our word.
Because whoever loves and leaves
May god give him as punishment
the slither of the snake
The walk of the beetle
The whizzing of the wind
The dust of the earth
I wil certainly be listening to more of her work
