about

Here is a medley of three pieces. The first is a hora lăutărească, followed by "Green, like a hazel" – a rural song from Teleorman county. Like folk songs everywhere, the lyrics jump from topic to topic, leaving you to ponder the connections (if there are any!). The third piece in the medley is the 'Hora de la Popești' from the repertoire of the great master of the cimbalom, Toni Iordache.

lyrics

Și-am zis verde că aluna
aș muri, dar nu acuma
la toamna, când o da brumă
în brațele de-a Caterina

Of of of, să mor cu capu' pe prag
of of of, lânga cine mi-este drag

De ce n-a lăsat Christos
să ia frumos pe frumos
să traiasca drăgăstos
să traiasca drăgăstos

Of of of, să mor cu capu' pe prag
of of of, lânga cine mi-este drag

Și iar verde că aluna
aș muri, dar nu acuma
la toamna, când o da brumă
și când face vinul spumă

Bate mă, bate mă Doamne cu paru'
nu mă bate, nu mă bate cu amaru'.
Bate mă, Doamne bate cu ciocanu'
nu mă bate, Doamne, cu politicianu'!
