Asta​-​i Viata Omului- The Life of a Man

lyrics

Asta-i Viaţa Omului

Tot oi bea şi-oi chefui
I'll always drink and party
Câte zile oi trăi
For as many days as I live
Omul care bea şi cântă
The man who drinks and sings
Nu are viaţă urâtă
Can't have an ugly life

Asta-i viaţa omului, da, omului
This is the life of man, yes, of man
Astăzi e şi mâine nu-i, şi mâine nu-i
Today he is and tomorrow he isn't, and tomorrow he isn't
Au, şi se duce dracului
Oh, and he goes to the Devil [to hell!]

Omul care strânge bani
The man who gathers money
Îşi face numai duşmani
Can only make enemies
Decât să le duci grija
Instead of worrying about them
Mai bine le duci lipsa
It's better to not have them at all

Au, dacă stai să te gândeşti
Oh, if you sit and think
Pentru ce te chinuieşti
What are you torturing yourself for
Nu uita de viaţa ta
Don't forget about your own life
N-ai să stăpâneşti lumea
You'll never own the world [you're only the owner of your life!]
Romanian Translated by Sergiu V. Vasile
