Lyrics

edit

in Romanian
Eu mă întreb de unde vine, vine,
De unde doru-şi ia izvorul, dorul
Mă luminez şi-mi pare bine, bine
Când vine dorul, când dorul vine.

Chorus:
Melancolie – dulce melodie,
Melancolie – misterios amor.
Melancolie, melancolie
Din armonia inimii cu dor.

Mai drag de-amorul meu târziu, mai dragă,
Mai dragă mi-e mândruţa dragă, dragă,
Mai drag mi-e codrul cu izvorul, dorul,
Când vine dorul, când dorul vine.

Chorus:
Melancolie – dulce melodie,
Melancolie – misterios amor.
Malancolie, melancolie
Din armonia inimii cu dor.

Translation
Who will explain me the miracle, miracle
When love around the world travels, travels
And suddenly from unknown where the miracle
Has come to you, to you has come

Chorus:
Melancholia - a sweet melodies
Melancholia - non-ordinary feelings
Melancholia, melancholia
Out of the harmony of a loving heart

For me it so easy when you near, right next
The heart's pounding as in a bird, bird
The soul's glad for the whole world
And childhood's recalling

Chorus:

Now to me all people became close, close
By your magical simple power, power
When, my darling, I see, see
I song from happiness
