Greatly admired by those who knew her singing, she was the unfortunate victim of a number of circumstances which prevented her receiving the acclaim which she deserved. By the 1960s and 1970s she had become in Romania the unrivaled interpreter of the cintec de pahar, that form of urban Romanian Gypsy song, a combination of Turkish and Romanian elements in a unique Gypsy setting. She possessed an exquisite voice and was singer of great sensitivity and depth. Romanian state policy in effect during most of the years during which Puceanu was in her prime, made it difficult for most artists, particularly Gypsies, to be heard abroad.

In November 1996 Puceanu died in Bucharest as the result of a car accident.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ma trezesc, telefonul suna
Si deja simt ca-i o zi buna
Iau rosu la semafor
Sunt iertata prea usor

Am noroc, gasesc loc in parcare
La birou, ce sa vezi, o promovare
Si toate imi merg frumos

Doar tu esti intors pe dos

Tu nu m-auzi cand te strig, esti surd
Tu nu ma vezi, zici ca ma ascund
Esti langa mine ca si cum nu sunt
Suntem colegi si nimic mai mult

Cineva sa ma salveze
Am ghinion in dragoste

Cineva sa ma salveze
Am ghinion in dragoste

Ma trezesc, telefonul suna
I wake up, the phone is ringing

Si deja simt ca-i o zi buna
And I already feel like it's going to be a good day

Iau rosu la semafor
I stop at the red light

Sunt iertata prea usor
I am forgiven too easily

Am noroc, gasesc loc in parcare
I am lucky, I find a parking spot

La birou, ce sa vezi, o promovare
At work, what do you know, a promotion

Si toate imi merg frumos
And everything is going well for me

Doar tu esti intors pe dos
Only you are turned upside down

Tu nu m-auzi cand te strig, esti surd
You don't hear me when I call you, you're deaf

Tu nu ma vezi, zici ca ma ascund
You don't see me, you say I'm hiding

Esti langa mine ca si cum nu sunt
You're next to me as if I'm not even here

Suntem colegi si nimic mai mult
We're colleagues and nothing more

Cineva sa ma salveze
Someone save me

Am ghinion in dragoste
I have bad luck in love

Cineva sa ma salveze
Someone save me

Am ghinion in dragoste
I have bad luck in love

@@kill4me997 Mulțumesc!E genial acordeonistul! Își pune sufletul să vorbească! Cîți din acordeoniștii de azi pot s-o facă la fel? Cîntă la instrumente electronice care sună oribil.

@kill4me997

Gheorghe Iorga. Cu mare placere !!! Mă bucur mult ,că aprecia-ti muzica lăutărească veche ,care rămîne o "NESTEMATA " a folclorului românesc. Împărtășesc ,aeasi părere a dumneavoastră ,vis a vis ,de instrumentele electronice.
