Peste vârfuri trece lună
Language: Romanian (Română)
Peste vârfuri trece lună, Codru-şi bate frunza lin, Dintre ramuri de arin Melancolic cornul sună. Mai departe, mai departe, Mai încet, tot mai încet, Sufletu-mi nemângâiet Îndulcind cu dor de moarte. De ce taci, când fermecată Inima-mi spre tine-ntorn? Mai suna-vei, dulce corn, Pentru mine vre odată?
