by Octavian Goga (1881 - 1938)

Inima
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Biată inimă bolnavă,
Făgădău la drum de ţară,
Cine-şi mai aduce-aminte
Câţi drumeţi te cercetară?

Tu n-aveai zăvor la tindă,
Nici scumpete la măsură,
Şi-ai cinstit pe fiecare
C-un pahar de băutură.

Cum veneau în miez de noapte
Călători pribegi în lume,
Toţi stăpâni la tine-acasă,
Răi de plată, buni de glume...

Tu la toţi le-ai dat hodină,
Şi le-ai dat popas în cale,
Pân' s-a risipit pe drumuri
Plinul pivniţelor tale.

Azi eşti goală şi săracă,
Şi crâşmaru-ţi dă să moară,
Cine să-ţi mai treacă pragul,
Făgădău la drum de ţară?...
