Octavian - translations added
- However many stars... [Oricâte stele...]
However many stars burn in the sky
However many sparkle in the sea,
Just by their light and by the glow we see
No one can tell how they exist and why.
- Evening Star [Luceafărul]
There was, as in the fairy tales,
Back in the distant time,
Of royal blood, which still prevails,
A girl sweet and sublime.
- After so much time [După ce atâta vreme]
After so much time, O, baby,
Since we've not discussed at all,
I think we've forgotten maybe
That our love can never fall.
- You leave...[Te duci...]
You leave and hurts me when I'm thinking
My eyes won't see you for a while,
They love the glamour of your being,
The way you move, the way you smile.
- Venus and Madonna [Venere şi Madonă]
An ideal lost in darkness of a world that's gone for ever,
Which in fairy tales was thinking and in poems used to speak,
I can see and hear you, goddess, my sweet news, so young and clever
Living in a starry heaven full of deities antique.
- Meeting again [Revedere]
– Forest friendly and sincere,
How are you today, my dear,
For since I have seen you last
Lots of years have quickly passed
- If the years passed... [De-or trece anii...]
If the years passed as we are seeing,
I'd be enraptured by her strut,
Because she harbors in her being,
“I don't know how”, “I don't know what”.
- Mortua est
A torch watching closely the sad and wet tomb,
A bell chiming harshly in this holy gloom,
A dream which is dipping its wing in the gall
That's how you have traveled beyond the world's wall.
- So tender [Atât de fragedă]
You are so tender, just like when
The cherry blossom is pure, white
And like an angel among men
Into my life you come in sight.
- I have one last caprice [Mai am un singur dor]
I have one last caprice
When evening falls on me
To let me die in peace
By the majestic sea.
