Eve on the hill
by Mihai Eminescu
Dreary the horn sounds in the eve on the hill,
Sheepflocks return, stars on their way twinkle still
Watersprings weep murmuring clear, and I see
Under a tree, love, thou art waiting for me.
>
Holy and pure passes the moon on the sky,
Moist seem the stars born from the vault clear and high,
Longing thine eyes look from afar to divine,
Heaving thy breast, pensive thy head doth recline.
Tired with their toil, peasant come back from the field,
From the old church, labourer's comfort and shield,
Voices of bells thrill the whole sky high above;
Struck is my heart, trembling and burning with love.
Ah! Very soon quietness steals over all,
Ah! Very soon hasten shall I to thy call;
Under the tree, there I shall sit the whole night,
Telling thee, love, thou art my only delight.
Cheek pressed to cheek, there in sweet ecstasy we,
Falling asleep under the old locust-tree,
Smiling in dream, seem in a heaven to live,
For such a night who his whole life would not give?
Sara pe deal
de Mihai Eminescu
Sara pe deal buciumul suna cu jale,
Turmele-l urc, stele scapara-n cale,
Apele plang clar izvorand din fantane;
Sub un salcam, draga, m-astepti tu pe mine.
Luna pe cer trece-asa sfanta si clara,
Ochii tai mari cauta-n frunza cea rara,
Stelele nasc umezi pe bolta senina,
Pieptul de dor, fruntea de ganduri ti-e plina.
Nourii curg, raze-a lor siruri despica,
Stresine vechi casele-n luna ridica,
Scartie-n vant cumpana de la fantana,
Valea-i in fum, fluiere murmura-n stana.
Si osteniti oameni cu coasa-n spinare
Vin de la camp; toaca rasuna mai tare,
Clopotul vechi umple cu glasul lui sara,
Sufletul meu arde-n iubire ca para
Ah! in curand satul in vale-amuteste;
Ah! in curand pasu-mi spre tine grabeste;
Langa salcam sta-vom noi noaptea intreaga,
Ore intregi spuneti-voi cat imi esti draga.
Ne-om razima capetele-unul de altul
Si surazand vom adormi sub inaltul,
Vechiul salcam,-astfel de noapte bogata,
Cine pe ea n-ar da viata lui toata?
