Mărgele

Song Cycle by Felicia Donceanu (b. 1931)

1. Balci in Aldebaran
 (Sung text)

Language: Romanian (Română) 
Hai margele! Ia margele!
Cerul meu e plin de ele.
Giuvaere, cruci, podoabe,
Cate trei si patru boabe,
Cu scantei mai tari, mai slabe.
Vand si un margaritar,
Cinci ocale la cantar.
Dar pacat de greutate,
Ca scade la jumatate
Si pierde cate-o catime
De crampei din ingustime.
Vineri seara, la lucarne,
O sa-l am cu doua coarne.
Dar aduce si noroc,
Ca se face iar la loc...
Toata noaptea tiu deschis:
Vand pe dragoste si vis
Si numai pe datorie.
Plata de Sfanta Marie,
Ori la un soroc, stiu eu?
Cand o vrea si Dumnezeu.
Ia numai un pumn si du-te;
Intr-o palma tii opt sute.
Daca merge bine treaba
Dau si Carul mic degeaba.
Cand lumina se aciua,
In oblon se face ziua.
Incui usa pe la clanta
Si strang bolta-n taraboanta
Si o car tiptil acasa:
Zorile sa nu ma vaza,
Vantul sa nu ma miroasa.
Azi, mi-a mai ramas o stea.
Fetelor, care o ia?
