Prituri sa planinata [English translation]

The mountain has overturned

And captured1 two shepherds.

And captured two shepherds.

Two shepherd, two friends.

The first one begs: "Let me go!

My first love is waiting for me!"

The second one begs: "Let me go!

My old mother is waiting for me!"

The mountain replies:

"Oh, you two shepherds,

A beloved one grieves from morning till noon

but a mother grieves for life!2"

1. Literally - buried beneath2. Literally - to the grave
