Hai cocuță
Hai cocuță
Come on Baby
Lullaby
Lullaby
(Romanian)
(English)
Refren:
Hai cocuță, hai cocuță!
Când ai să te faci măruță?
Hai cocuță, hai cocuță!
Liuliu fă și crești măruță!
C-au obosit mâinele
Bunele, truditele!
C-au obosit mâinele
Bunele, truditele!
Refren
Când nu pot picioarele
Bunele, truditele!
Când nu pot picioarele
Bunele, truditele!
Refren
C-au obosit ochișorii,
Gurița și obrăjorii.
Ochișorii de privit
Gurița de gângurit.
(Chorus)
Come on baby, come on baby!
When are you going to grow up?
Come on baby, come on baby!
Go to sleep and grow up!
How tired the hands are,
Good, tired hands!
How tired the hands are,
Good, tired hands!
(Chorus)
When the legs can no longer stand,
Good, tired legs
When the legs can no longer stand,
Good, tired legs.
(Chorus)
Your little eyes are tired,
Little mouth and little cheeks.
Little eyes from looking
Little mouth from cooing!
