Sharing transnational traditions
When you eat mămăligă
I must understand polenta
While I thought polenta was a romanian word
When I eat some cuisses de grenouille[/font]
You are horrified by our wild tradition
Though most frogs come from Romania"?
When I wear an élégante cravate[/font]
You are proud of me, saying "Care barbat superb!"[/font]
Even though I wear a tie, only one or two times a year
When you wear o frumoasa rochie albă[/font]
I am in love with you, just able to say "mon amour!"[/font]
You are forever so beautiful to me
When you saw me for the first time
I am sure you asked : "care este acest tip?"[/font]
It was two years ago and you love me now
When I saw you for the first time
I already knew : "c'est elle"[/font]
And I knew it was the truth because "c'est l'amour!"[/font]
"dragoste, pentru totdeauna!"[/font]
"l'amour, pour toujours!" [/font]
"love, forever!"
Obviously English, Romanian and French languages, in comp "international flavors"[/font]
