lyrics

(Translated with help from Hardy Mayer)

How good is the wine of Ghiurghiu!
Harvested late in the fall.
Whether there’s fog or snow
I drink a lot but I still don’t get drunk

I swore that I wouldn’t drink anymore
But I just can’t help it
How good is the wine – I like it so well
I don’t know what to do

How good is the wine, and tasty
When you drink it with a handsome man
But the very same wine sticks in your throat
When you drink it with an ugly man
