Maria Tanase - blestem



    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
