Also before you the wolf will appear…

wolf2

“Şi-ţi va mai ieşi/ Lupul înainte,/ Ca să te spăimânte./ Să nu te spăimânţi,/ Frate bun să-l prinzi,/ Că lupul mai ştie/ Seama codrilor/ Şi-a potecilor./ Şi el te va scoate/ La drumul de plai,/ La-un fecior de crai,/ Să te ducă-n rai,/ C-acolo-i de trai;/ În dealul cu jocul,/ C-acolo ţi-e locul;/ ’n câmpul cu bujorul,/ C-acolo ţi-e doru”

(Also before you/ The wolf will appear/ To make you afraid./ But do not be afraid./ Receive him as your brother./ The wolf knows/ The order of the forests,/ The grain of the paths,/ He will lead you/ On the level road/ To a king’s son,/ To paradise/ Where life is good,/ The hill for playing:/ There is your place;/ The field of peonies:/ There is your heart.)
“Song for the dead”, Roumanian Anonymous folk poem
