Verse 1 (CUZA):
I'm good, mom, it's good here
Stop saying that I've lost weight, smile for me.
I'm sitting down right now, my job is easy
I got used to it quickly, I'm their friend now.
Everyone accepts me, I've found a good place to rent
It doesn't cost me too much, a quarter of my salary each month
I'm coming home, you don't need to suffer
Because I'll help you this month, too, with money for the bills.
Know that I send my love to everyone.
I can't call more often because I work nights, too
I've found a girl here, she's Romanian like me
We both save our salaries, we feel so good
And we'll return, maybe we'll make a home
Maybe you'll play at the wedding, you, my dear mother.
I'm tired, please don't pay any attention to me
I called you just to tell you that: I'm good, mom!
Chorus: Longing for home,
Longing for you all,
Longing from my soul calls me back.
Longing for home,
Longing for you all,
Longing from my soul calls me back.
Verse 2 (Irina):
I'm good, mom, it's good here
The woman I work for, she resembles you
I've gotten used to things, they behave so well
Now I stay in their house,I sleep in the room downstairs
I don't do too much, just a bit of cleaning
Even if it's good here, I can't wait to come back
I've even found a boy, he's Romanian like me
We both save our salaries, we feel so good.
How's dad? Is he still worried?
Tell him that now, I'm thinking about marriage
We won't stay for much longer, and we'll come home,
I want to see you at the wedding, you, my dear mother.
I hope that you're still dusting the room with the dolls
And that you haven't given away Teddy, my little teddy bear.
I'm tired, please don't pay any attention to me
I called you just to tell you that: I'm good, mom!
Chorus: Longing for home,
Longing for you all,
Longing from my soul calls me back.
Longing for home,
Longing for you all,
Longing from my soul calls me back.
Final (Carmen Tanase):
I'm good, mom, it's been too long, don't you think?
I thought that you wouldn't stay when you left to work.
The table is ready, but I don't want you to rush
But rather, I want you to come home while you can still find me.
