Mieleni alenevi [English translation]

I should not be singing, should not

Should not be singing my songs at all

I am in a low mood

Low is where my mood resides

Whatever can it be that has brought

This low mood to me specifically?

Sorrowful is this little bird

This sad bird is feeling reticent

I reflect on my life

I worry these worries of mine

I have five worries churning in my mind

And my mother's worries as well

I should not be singing, should not

Should not be singing my songs at all

That which dawn raises

My mood only lowers

Swamps will melt, the ground will crumble

The shores of the sea will abate

My sorrows will stay unchanged

Only the chill will remain with me

I reflect on my life

I worry these worries of mine

I have five worries churning in my mind

And my mother's worries as well

I reflect on my life

I worry these worries of mine

Trouble I have falling asleep

Only barely can I pass out from exhaustion
