Lyrics:

De-ar fi viata de vanzare, as pastra la purtator
Trupul meu de lup de mare, dar as pune alt motor
Cu o inima nebuna
Sa se tina de prostii
Iar atunci cand se consuma sa o trec pe baterii
De-ar fi viata de vanzare
Eu mi-as vinde anii mei
Si-as pastra in buzunare doar pe primii 23
Mi-as lua iar lodenul verde
De-acum 35 de ani
Ani ce nu mi i-as mai pierde
Sa-i astept pe-americani

Toamna a venit, piesa s-a sfarsit
Iesi din scena acum, paiata,
Teatrul este gol, viata e un rol,
Fir-ar mama ei de viata!

De-ar fi viata de vanzare
Ce-as mai bea cu toti ai mei
Zeci de lazi de corabioare
Murfatlar de 12 lei
Si pe mama mea saraca
Ce-a crescut un vagabond
As plati-o sa ma faca
Inca-o data, dar mai blond.
Sase fete, papusele tinere as adopta
Si pe toate in lovele de-alea verzi le-as imbraca
Si daca-ar cadea la pace cu alti italieni romani
Cand o fi sa se dezbrace
Sa le para rau de bani.

Toamna a venit, piesa s-a sfarsit
Iesi din scena acum, paiata,
Teatrul este gol, viata e un rol,
Fir-ar mama ei de viata!

De-ar fi viata de vanzare
N-as trai in viitor
Ca e plictiseala mare sa ramai nemuritor
Dar as face eu ce-as face sa raman intinerit
Doar o zi, fiindca mi-ar place
Sa mor tanar si iubit
Hai prieteni, hai in piata
Ca azi nu ma uit la bani
Sa va cumpar cate-o viata
Sa fac cinste la golani
Sa incingem cheful mare, haideti toti la masa mea
Daca viata-i de vanzare, sa ne batem joc de ea!

Toamna a venit, piesa s-a sfarsit
Iesi din scena acum, paiata,
Teatrul este gol, viata e un rol,
Fir-ar mama ei de viata!

TRAD

If it were life for sale, I would keep it to the wearer
My sea wolf body, but I would put another engine
With a crazy heart
To keep up with nonsense
And when it is consumed, I put it on batteries
If it were life for sale
I would sell my years
I would only keep the first 23 in my pockets
I would take my green loden again
35 years ago
Years I wouldn't miss
Waiting for the Americans

Autumn has come, the play is over
Get out of the scene now, straw,
The theater is empty, life is a role,
Damn her mother's life!

If it were life for sale
What else would I drink with all my people
Dozens of ship's crates
Murfatlar of 12 lei
And my poor mother
What a vagabond grew up with
I would pay her to make me
Once again, but blond.
Six girls, the young dolls I would adopt
And I would dress them all in those green strokes
And if he fell at peace with other Romanian Italians
When she's going to undress
Sorry for the money.

Autumn has come, the play is over
Get off the scene now, straw,
The theater is empty, life is a role,
Damn her mother's life!

If it were life for sale
I would not live in the future
That it is great boredom to remain immortal
But I would do what I would do to stay rejuvenated
Just one day, because I'd love to
To die young and beloved
Come on, friends, come to the market
Like today I don't look at money
Let me buy you a life
To honor the scoundrels
Let's warm up, let's all come to my table
If life is for sale, let's make fun of it!

Autumn has come, the play is over
Get off the scene now, straw,
The theater is empty, life is a role,
Damn her mother's life!
