Rea de plată
 (Sung text for setting by N. Bretan)
 See original
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Ea vine de la moară;
Şi jos în ulicioară
Punându-şi sacul, iacă
Nu-l poate ridica.

"Ţi-l duc eu!" -- "Cum?" -- "Pe plată!"
Iar ea, cuminte fată,
Se şi-nvoieşte-ndată.
De ce-ar şi zice ba?

Eu plec cu sacu-n spate.
La calea jumătate
Cer plata, trei săruturi.
Dar uite, felul ei:

Stă-n drum şi să socoate,
Şi-mi spune câte toate,
Că-s scump, că ea nu poate,
Că prea sunt multe trei!

Cu două se-nvoieşte,
Şi unul mi-l plăteşte,
Cu altul să-mi rămâie
Datoare pe-nserat.

Dar n-am să-l văd cât veacul!
Şi iată-mă, săracul,
Să-i duc o poştie sacul
P-un singur sărutat!
