Ordinea de zi (The Agenda) - [Cover] George Nicolescu, lyrics: Adrian Păunescu
#romania #folkmusic
A simple yet direct 40 years-old song, about the world we lived in then and now... Only Păunescu's genius could have had such premonition and clairvoyance. George Nicolescu, whom we sang in chorus with at the "Cenaclul Flacăra" shows, passed away this year but this song will remain for everlasting hope in a better world. This should be the anthem of the Freedom of people everywhere, of the refusal to be cast in the same mould, to erase their identity by denying the values with which they were raised from generation to generation, against leveling from the bottom and so many other ineptitudes with which the "medias for the masses" insistently strive to brainwash us every day:
After so many horrors we’ve known since birth,
And the ones that are still yet to come,
We, the simple and the good on this Earth
A brand new order we demand
We know, there are problems of all kinds,
They still sell the bearskin while it’s alive,
But we submit this appeal before your eyes,
But we submit this plea that binds
Chorus :
Where is our life, can you say?
What have you done with it today?
Where is our life, gone astray?
What have you done with it today?
In our table of values, bold and bright,
Above gold, silver, and diamond’s gleam,
For us, simple mortals in this fight,
Life is the most important dream
Our life seems to have lost all aim,
Our life’s a just coin in the trading game,
On Earth, we humans live in vain,
We die absurdly, too soon, how lame
(Chorus)
If there’s a ball, let’s make it grand,
We protest in the harshest way,
We want no pity, nor medical leave my Friend,
We just want the right to speak today
(Chorus)
Let’s forget to live in shame,
We still have Love left in this world,
Fed up with fakes, jerks, all the same,
Let’s rewrite the agenda, with hearts unfurled
If there’s a ball, let it be real,
And let the tea boil in the pot,
Put Life on top of the list in the deal,
And for the rest: Silence, say naught!
(Chorus)
