Să-mi cânţi cobzar lyrics

Sa-mi cânti, cobzar, batrân, ceva,
Sa-mi cânti ce stii mai bine,
Ca vin ti-oi da, si bani ti-oi da,
Si haina de pe mine!
 
Sa-mi cânti, cobzar, batrân, ceva,
Sa-mi cânti si din chitara,
Ca doar s-o ispravi cândva
O viata-atât de-amara!
 
Sa-mi cânti, cobzar, din cobza ta
Povestea de iubire
Ce m-a facut ca sa tresar
De-atâta fericire.
 
Lasati-ma lânga pahar,
De viata nici nici ca-mi pasa!
Eu sunt copil al nimanui
Si n-am nici bani, nici casa...
 
Lasati-ma acum sa stau
În crâsma-ntunecata,
Sa beau, sa plâng si-apoi sa uit,
Caci am iubit o data...

Why did you labelled this to "unknown artist" ? It is written originally by Eugen Seno Ionescu And originally interpreted by Ion Lucian .. https://youtu.be/fL8RJh6n9Bo But along the time of course various artists have taken on this song .. being part of traditional Romanian Folklore ..

I think the interpreter here is Dumitru Tibi ... so yeah this should be added on an own page or add the original Ion Lucian vers one ..

That is because it has been interpreted by various artist being a traditional music, I do not know which is the original and what I should put (since this is also an interpretation of some age old music; and of course I would be unaware if there are subtle changes in the lyrics). I don't read or write Romanian, so research into this matter is difficult; I'd rather display the face of uncertainty/ignorance than the pretense of knowledge. However I do do thank you for the mentioning of the original writer and interpreter since now I do enjoy the older version much more. If I can edit it and add the newly gathered information I would, somehow.

edit: I added "also performed by: Ion Luican". Apparently it won't let me change the name of the interpreter so I'm putting it in featured artist instead.

You can if of course have the pleasure and like better the older vers one ..etc Add it (by adding the artist on its own than the song ... ) ... and add these lyrics as there's no difference ... in the lyrics .. Maybe also add a req on that one too ... Maybe i'll help but won't promise, i'm stuck at the moment with many poems (curently workin on Charlotte one "Life" ... ), have many drafted translations (Big drama) .. Laeving this version also is no pb .. anyhow you chose is cool . Regards and all the best
