CÂND O FI LA MOARTEA MEAWHEN MY DEATH COMES
  
Foaie verde, mărăcineGreen leaf, Maybush
Aş muri, moartea nu-mi vineI’d like to die, but death doesn’t come to me
Aş trăi şi n-am cu cineI’d like to live and I don’t have anyone to live with
Aş trăi şi n-am cu cine.I’d like to live and I don’t have anyone to live with
  
Foaie verde şi-o laleaGreen leaf and a tulip
Când o fi la moartea meaWhen my death comes
Să-mi chemaţi ibovnicaCall my sweetheart
Să mor cu ochii la eaSo that I’ll die with my eyes raised up to her
Să-mi puie mâna sub capSo that she’ll lay her hand underneath my head
Să mă-ntrebe de ce zac.And she’ll ask me why I’m dying.
  
Şi să-i las cu jurământAnd that I’ll leave her under oath,
Până m-o băga-n pământTo bury me,
Să-mi facă groapa adâncTo dig me a deep grave
Să nu putrezesc curândSo that I won’t putrify soon
Să putrezesc la opt aniSo that I’ll putrify after eight years
Să fac voia la duşmani.To satisfy the ennemies
