Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zi, Noapte by NANE from Romanian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Verse 1
La dracu' cu ce-ai auzit, ai ochi sa vezi
To hell with what you heard, you have eyes to see
Noaptea nu-i momentu' potrivit sa vizitezi
Night is not the right time to visit
Parcu' nu mai e locu-n care te relaxezi
It's like it's no longer a place where you relax
A privi nu mai exista acum, te holbezi!
Looking doesn't exist anymore, you're staring!
Tre' sa ma crezi, e gen Banlieue 13
You have to believe me, it's like Banlieue 13
Fetele astea dubioase te fac sa te panichezi
These dubious girls make you panic
Incearca-ti norocu' daca pare ca aberez
Try your luck if it seems like I'm deviating
Cainii de casa nu rezista intre maidanezi
Domestic dogs cannot stand in the fields
Garantez! Cum aduc vorba te eschivezi
I guarantee! As I say, you dodge
Dar exista zone pe care tu nu le traversezi
But there are areas that you do not cross
Nu vorbesc de un oras, generalizez
I'm not talking about a city, I'm generalizing
Uscaturi au si padurile cele mai verzi
Even the greenest forests have droughts
Violenta nu e ceea ce eu promovez
Violence is not what I promote
Dar daca mai speri la siguranta, tu visezi!
But if you still hope for safety, you are dreaming!
Ti-o zic pe bune, nu vreau sa impresionez
I'm telling you, I don't want to impress
Lumea a luat-o razna si-o stii, pariez!
The world has gone crazy and you know it, I bet!
Chorus 1
Ziua spune-i Romania, noaptea spune-i Irak
During the day call it Romania, at night call it Iraq
La negura baietii care nu te plac, te fac!
Fuck the boys who don't like you, I'll make you!
Cand luminile s-au stins, s-a dat start
When the lights went out, it started
Strada devine un front adevarat
The street becomes a real front
Iar nimeni n-aude, nimeni nu vede si nu vorbeste
And no one hears, no one sees and no one speaks
O lege nescrisa se aplica, nu se citeste
An unwritten law is applied, not read
Parca ti-am mai spus o data, ai uitat?!
It's like I told you once before, have you forgotten?!
Nu-i orasu' tau, bun venit in Baghdad!
It's not your city, welcome to Baghdad!
Verse 2
Mirosu' de foame pe care il inhalezi
The smell of hunger that you inhale
E ceva ce din pacate n-o sa poti sa controlezi
It's something that unfortunately you won't be able to control
Daca gresesc, poti sa ma corectezi
If I'm wrong, you can correct me
E greu cand lucrezi, darmite cand nu lucrezi
It's hard when you're working, let alone when you're not working
Realizezi, e clar ca delirezi
You realize, it's clear that you're delirious
Iti imaginezi lucruri bune numai cand fumezi
You imagine good things only when you smoke
Eu sugerez sa fii atent cu cine te anturezi
I suggest you be careful who you associate with
Ca ei sunt genu' care te fac sa te integrezi
Because they are the kind that make you integrate
Si daca spui ca n-ai putea, exagerezi!
And if you say you couldn't, you're exaggerating!
Ca daca-ti spun cati credeau la fel, te blochezi
That if I tell you how many people thought the same, you'll get stuck
Prima oara-i greu, dup-aia te adaptezi
The first time is hard, after that you adapt
Nici macar n-o sa-ti dai seama cand avansezi
You won't even notice when you advance
Alege-ti calea pe care vrei s-o urmezi
Choose the path you want to follow
Poti sa stai departe, sa vanezi sau sa sangerezi
You can stay away, hunt or bleed
Dar, oricum ai alege sa pozezi
But, anyway you choose to pose
Ai grija pe unde calci, te avertizez!
Be careful where you step, I warn you!
Chorus 2
Ziua spune-i Romania, noaptea spune-i Irak
During the day call it Romania, at night call it Iraq
La negura baietii care nu te plac, te fac!
Fuck the boys who don't like you, I'll make you!
Cand luminile s-au stins, s-a dat start
When the lights went out, it started
Strada devine un front adevarat
The street becomes a real front
Iar nimeni n-aude, nimeni nu vede si nu vorbeste
And no one hears, no one sees and no one speaks
O lege nescrisa se aplica, nu se citeste
An unwritten law is applied, not read
Parca ti-am mai spus o data, ai uitat?!
It's like I told you once before, have you forgotten?!
Nu-i orasu' tau, bun venit in Baghdad!
It's not your city, welcome to Baghdad!
Verse 3
Asta nu-i un joc, desi ii posibil sa pierzi
This is not a game, although it is possible to lose
Ai o singura viata ce n-o mai recuperezi
You have only one life that you can't get back
Cu totii visam sa avem banii gramezi
We all dream of having lots of money
Grabeste-te, tati, iti amintesc sa si pranezi
Hurry up, dad, I'm reminding you to have breakfast
In cursa asta cu Euro, Lei sau Berzi
In this race with Euro, Lei or Berzi
Tentatii-le-s mai mari decat MC-ul pentru obezi
Their temptations are greater than the MC for the obese
Strada-i matematica, nu stii sa calculezi?
The street is math, don't you know how to calculate?
Altii sigur stiu, deci, o sa ratezi
Others surely know, so you will miss out
Sper sa iei in calcul, sper sa constientizezi
I hope you take it into account, I hope you become aware
Ca o sa fii /pa/ daca esti prins cand trisezi
That you will be /bye/ if you are caught cheating
Mergi pe linia ta, ca si cum prizezi
Go on your line, as if you are taking a shot
Daca te abati de la drum dupa ce te ghidezi, ha?
If you deviate from the road after being guided, huh?
Imagineaza-ti ca ai un frate siamez
Imagine you have a Siamese brother
Toate cadrele cu tine si n-ai cum sa-l decupezi
All the frames with you and you have no way to cut it out
Cineva-i sifon, tu sigur nu sifonezi
Someone is a soda, you certainly don't soda
Strazile vad si aud, mai vrei dovezi?
The streets see and hear, do you want more proof?
Chorus 3
Ziua spune-i Romania, noaptea spune-i Irak
During the day call it Romania, at night call it Iraq
La negura baietii care nu te plac, te fac!
Fuck the boys who don't like you, I'll make you!
Cand luminile s-au stins, s-a dat start
When the lights went out, it started
Strada devine un front adevarat
The street becomes a real front
Iar nimeni n-aude, nimeni nu vede si nu vorbeste
And no one hears, no one sees and no one speaks
O lege nescrisa se aplica, nu se citeste
An unwritten law is applied, not read
Parca ti-am mai spus o data, ai uitat?!
It's like I told you once before, have you forgotten?!
Nu-i orasu' tau, bun venit in Baghdad!
It's not your city, welcome to Baghdad!
