Thanks

I often come across these old songs and wish they had some lyrics translation.

Some of these bands had serious lyrics, written by real poets.

The lyrics are pretty funny in Romanian, so here's my attempted translation:

Listen boss (Yeah), have you done what I've asked?
I begged you not to eat shit in the past
'Cause it makes you look bad and employees will lust
To kiss your ass and lick it like the crust.

From now on, I won't be anyone's pawn,
My back is hurting, I can barely go on.
After I raised your great empire,
In the name of the eternal, immortal, value:

Work, work, work, work, work all day long
Work, work, work, work, never-ending song
Now it's your turn, boss, to reward me
And grant me a little break, so you can be free.

So I can spend time with grandkids and kin,
And eat the hole in pretzels with a grin
Boss, there's one more thing that's left unsaid
I thought I'd leave my bribe to you instead
Get a Lamborghini, take some candy too
Just don't forget, boss, when it's all due.

Listen boss (Yeah), make me a coffee too
With some milk and cream, and hurry up, will you?
Listen boss (Yeah), decide what you want to do
And until that happens, get me a beer or two.

This is the original in Romanian (a fragment from the beginning of the song)

Auzi sefu (da) ai facut ce team rugat
Ce mai rugat te am rugat sa nu mai mananci rahat
Ca te murdaresti la bot si angajati o sa pofteasca
Sa te pupe-n fund uite-asa sal rotunjeasca

Incepand de azi io nu sunt sluga nimanui
Nu mai pot sa misc un deget din cauza spatelui
Dupa ce ti-am ridicat matale marele imperiu
In numele vesnicului si nemuritor criteriu

Munca munca munca munca munca toata ziua
Munca munca munca munca niciodata piua
Acuma e randul tau sefu sa ma rasplatesti
Si sa mi dai un mic concediu sa te odihnesti

Sa stau si eu cu nepotii si cu stranepotii
Sa mancam o gaura din covrig cu toti
A si sefu (da) ar mai fi inca ceva
M am gandit ca sa iti las tie mostenire spaga mea
Ia-ti un lamborghini ia-ti o acadea
Daca nu puneti-o in cap sefu spalate cu ea.

Auzi sefu (da) fa si mie o cafea
Pune si crema de lapte si hai repede cu ea
Auzi sefu (da) hotaraste-te ce vrei
Da pana te hotarasti da mi o bere doua trei
