To make you my wife,
 I lived a disastrous life,
 and I quarreled
with the world,
 like a flower in a vase,
 our little house bloomed
But, you my dear, left
Chorus: Our cottage, 
love nest,
 is waiting for you to come
Our cottage,
 where we first kissed,
 longing is crying ceaselessly
For a necklace of beads,
 I went on bad roads,
 nobody upset
you,
 you've left me in such joy, longing that tears
and grieves my soul
Chorus: Our cottage, 
love nest,
 is waiting for you to come,

Our cottage,
 where we first kissed,
 longing is crying ceaselessly
For you to come, dear girl, l
I'll buy you a skirt
, so the world bursts
with envy,
 and silk handkerchief
, you'll be the most beautiful

and most proud in your village
Chorus: Our cottage, 
love nest,
 is waiting for you to come

Our cottage,
 where we first kissed,
 longing is crying ceaselessly

Piano / Percussion: Louis Wall
Bass: Andy Hainz


Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your momma’s good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings you're gonna wake up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With daddy and momma standin' by

So hush little baby, don't you cry
Cause daddy and momma are standin' by

I shall forget
 whatever happened in my life before, years
and months and nights turned to suffering, the moment of
separation, I won’t ask you for what you can’t give, I won’t ask
for your love, I won’t knock on closed doors anymore, don't
turn your eyes away from me

Chorus: Maybe our paths will meet someday
Our paths our love our thoughts our joy

I will always keep hold of love that’s true, I will always hope for
uncommon love, the thought that hurts, the thought that chills
My voice is calling, just allow me your friendship

Chorus: Maybe our paths will meet someday
Our paths our love our thoughts our joy



"Deșteaptă-te, române!" (Awaken Thee, Romanian!)
-Romanian National Anthem

Awaken thee, Romanian, shake off thy deadly slumber
The scourge of inauspicious barbarian tyrannies
And now or never to a bright horizon clamber
That shall put all your enemies to shame

We proclaim to the world, its now or never
In our veins throbs Roman blood
And in our hearts forever we glorify a name
Resounding of battle, the name of gallant Trajan

Raise your broad forehead and look around you
Like fir trees, hundreds of thousands of heroes are standing firm
A voice they still wait to jump like wolves among the sheep
Elders, men, youths, boys, from mountains to the plains

Look at the imperial shadows of Michael, Stephen, Corvinus
At the Romanian nation, your mighty progeny
With arms like steel and hearts of fire impetuous

It's either freedom or death, that's what they decree

They were together for a while
 and they had so many thoughts

Should I tell you their story, baby?
 But make sure to read between the lines
They would have passed unnoticed
 with their faultless existence

Even if I knew what it was hiding
, both fantasy and light

Chorus: 
But where there is no love, there is nothing

Where there is no sun, there is no life

And I feel I belong to nobody
, there, where you are not

They were together for a while,
 two foreign hemispheres

Two young lives, traveling through changing seasons
They borrowed Sundays from friends and relatives
They knew better than anyone how to pass the time

Chorus: But where there is no love, there is nothing

Where there is no sun, there is no life

And I feel I belong to nobody,
 there, where you are not
