Mi-o cantat de dor si-o plans, Dorul de mine s-o prins. De cand port dor la inima, Nu mai am nici o hodina, Nici la pranz si nici la cina Cate doruri rele-s grele, Tate-s pa bratele mele. Altul moare de batran, Nu stii dorul de ce-I bun. Dar eu stiu ca l-am purtat, De cand mam mi-o cantat. See dunav.org for translation and access to other tunes.
