about

Romania, traditional, from the repertoire of Maria Tanase / U.S., traditional, from Alan Lomax
World, world, sister world, when will I have enough of you? When I give up bread for Lent…when they hammer the nails in my coffin. /An Anglo-American children’s song likely based on the ritual sacrifice of the robin in ancient spring renewal ceremonies.

lyrics

Lume, lume, soră lume
Lume, lume, soră lume
Când să mă satur de tine
Când să mă satur de tine
Lume, soră lume
Când s-o lăsa sec de pâine
Şi păhăruţul de mine
Lume, soră lume

Lume, lume, soră lume
Lume, lume, soră lume
Când o suna scândura
Când o suna scândura
Lume, soră lume
Când m-or băga in mormânt
Şi n-oi mai fi pe pământ
Lume, soră lume


C-aşa-i lumea trecătoare
Unul naşte altul moare
Lume, soră lume
Ăl de naşte necăjeşte
Ăl de moare putrezeşte
Lume, soră lume

Who killed Cock Robin?
Who killed Cock Robin?
I, said the sparrow
with my little bow and arrow,
it was I, O it was I


Who caught his blood - o?
Who caught his blood - o?
I, said the fish
with my little silver dish,
it was I, O it was I


Who sewed his shroud - o?
Who sewed his shroud - o?
I, said the eagle
with my little thread and needle,
it was I, O it was I
