Let's Get Together

I really like this song Hello Goodbye.

Hello Goodbye · « **Reply #10541 on:** January 15, 2012, 04:12:42 AM »

On New Years Day, 1962, Decca Records, looking for a "Beat" group, auditioned two promising young bands; Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and a somewhat similar combo from Liverpool called The Beatles. Decca chose the Tremeloes.

In 1967 they recorded a Four Seasons song called...

Silence Is Golden


The Tremeloes - Silence is Golden

It went to #1 in the UK and to #11 in the US It's one of my favorite 60s songs.

Well, since I'm obsessed with Romania at the moment I am listening to Gică Petrescu.


01 - Gica Petrescu - Cel mai frumos tango

I've always thought Romania is a very beautiful country, I hope I get to see it in person someday, I would love to visit Brașov for example! Wouldn't it be neat to see the Bran Castle too...or maybe visit Sighișoara where Vlad Țepeș was born! Oh, I'm just blabbering now. Sorry, carry on

No, you're not blabbering at all, AppleScruffy96. Listen to how Aaron Lebedeff goes on about Romania!


Aaron Lebedeff - Romenye, Romenye - Roumania Roumania 1941

He's saying...

Oh! Rumania, Rumania, Rumania …
Once there was a land, sweet and lovely.
Oh! Rumania, Rumania, Rumania …
Once there was a land, sweet and fine.
To live there is a pleasure;
What your heart desires you can get;
A mamalige, a pastrami, a karnatzl,
And a glass of wine, aha … !

Ay, in Rumania life is so good;
No one knows of care;
Everywhere they’re drinking wine -
And having a bite of kashtaval.
Hay, digadi dam …

Ay, in Rumania life is so good;
No one knows of worry.
They drink wine, though it’s late;
And have a bite of kastrovet.
Hay, digadi dam …

Oh, my, help, I’m going crazy!
I care only for brinze and mamalige
I dance and jump up to the ceiling
When I eat a patlazhele.
Dzing ma, tay yidldi tam …
What a pleasure, what could be better!
Oh, the only delight is Rumanian wine.

Rumanians drink wine
And eat mamalige;
And he who kisses his own wife,
Is the one who’s crazy.
Zets, dzing ma, tay yidl di tam …

“May salvation come from heaven … “
Stop and kiss the cook, Khaye,
Dressed in rags and tatters;
She makes a pudding for the Sabbath.
Zets! Tay ti didl di tam …

Moyshe Khayim comes along
And takes away the best part;
Moyshe Khayim, Borukh Shmil -
Tickle her on the sly.
Zets! Tay tidl di tam …

And the girl pouts, alas,
Seems unwilling, but allows it.
Tshu!

It’s good to kiss a lass
When she’s sweet sixteen;
When one kisses an old man,
She begins to grumble.
Zets! Tay yidl di dam …
What a pleasure, what could be better!
Oh, the only delight is Rumanian wine …

I loved listening to that, thanks for posting it, Hello Goodbye! And thanks for posting the lyrics too. I'm planning on going to the library soon to pick up some books about Romania, I want to know as much as I can!

Sorry, but I've never actually been into Romanian music (neither are my parents). I like a few songs from some rock bands but that's about it. You guys probably know just as much or even more songs than I do.

I love that one Romanian (I think it's Romanian) pop song that made it pretty big over here, "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone. Or does that not count as "Romanian" music?

I'd say it counts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragostea_din_tei

Now that's one you could dance to and even without wine, unlike Revolution 9.

But not too much wine. That is amazing to watch. Fantasia was way ahead of its time...very trippy!

All I have to do is look at Jim Carrey and he cracks me up. I like his comment at the end about defiling a timeless piece of art.
