Miruna [English translation]

Dear Miruna, I tell you through whispers

that I like your nightgown

But, even more, I would like to tell you

Leave it with me as a souvenir

Leave it with me as a souvenir

.

Incredibly beautiful, you were sleeping on a sweet night

You smiled in your sleep, and I was keeping my eyes on you

not to wake you up, or to disturb your dreams

But I also wanted to take away your bathing suit,

To admire you with and without bathing suit.

In the Botanical Garden,

on a Sunday,

she walks.

We took some pictures

with an old automatic

camera.

A famous and good old university mate

told that she had holes in her jeans at the backside

You came home when it rained outside

with bus eighty-nine

Blonde and sad, as we liked you.

With a straw hat with a purple ribbon,

You came out of the building on Snagov Street,

Easily, you went straight to Moșilor Avenue to get yourself

a checked blouse from Bucur Obor’s,

a checked blouse from Bucur Obor’s.

Coming back from work,

she bought herself

a yellow purse.

She entered in the shops,

bought herself

a floral maxi skirt.

Dear Miruna, what’s the sense of buying all these things ?

You’re spending a huge amount of money.

By the way, you know very well what I told you the other night, through whispers :

« I like your nightgown

But, even more, I would like to tell you

Leave it with me as a souvenir

Leave it with me as a souvenir »

Now you’re looking at me on a jagged picture

Once you had the nerves, but also burning lips,

And I heard how you screamed through the whispers:

« Where is my nightgown ?

Where is my nightgown ? »

I’ve got your nightgown !*

I’ve got your nightgown…

I’m crying for your nightgown,

I’m crying for your nightgown,

I’m crying for your nightgown…
