M-am Nascut De Ziua Mea

I Was Born on My Birthday

When I get drunk, I'm wasted
When I walk, I hold onto the fence
But if the fence ends,
I don't know what I'll do
I'll take matters into my own hands
And I'll make a scene
But it's still better on your feet
When you lean on the ground

In the morning, my head is heavy
But I still want to drink
I reach under the pillow
Where is my head?
How much did I drink last night?
I've never drunk so much in my life
I think I'm the only man
Who was born on my birthday

Actually, my birthday
I celebrate it every day
If necessary - sometimes
Even twice a day
To be honest, if my day falls during the day
I don't celebrate it
But if my day falls at night -
I get drunk again at night
Interesting thoughts come to my mind
Only when I drink
I don't even know how so many thoughts
Fit in my head
Whether my memory helps me
But that's not enough
It's true, I have memory, only
I don't remember where I put it

If the doctors catch me
I know what they'll suggest now
Either live a little, but well
Or more, but not well
To be honest, for me
I've chosen what I wanted
To live longer, but well
And to drink like I drank
I drink like a Moldovan
Four times a year, let's see:
At Christmas, for the patron saint, at Easter
And every day

When I drink, I never
Get annoyed
I only get annoyed then
When I can't get annoyed
Lord, what's happening here
With so many girls around?
Will I prove tonight
That I can drink with the big boys?
I think so, because I
Always prove
In front of them here
To come out on top
But until when is there time
And no one has left yet
I drink, smoke, I don't know what
When I wake up - but now I'm wasted

And I don't understand why
I keep drinking so tastefully
If it all goes to my head
As if I'm drinking with my head down
When I leave the bar to go outside
And I start to outdo my shadow
I understand that I'm starting to understand
That I understand nothing
But the main thing is important
That where I started, I went
And if I made it home,
Home means I made it
And even if dad asks me where I've been
I tell him what I did:
"I drank at the bar with Ghita,
So what if I drank?
I drank with the girls
And where I've been, I'll go tomorrow
Do you know what I did with the girls, dad?"
"Shame on you."
