Calugarul din Vechiul Schit

You'll make fun of me, but that's the way I am, I like this old stuff. There are several videos with this romance, and I chose Sandel Capitan. He's not a troubadour of the old times, that's true, but I liked very much his interpretation. The images that follow are captures from another great video with the same romance, sung by Jean Moscopol.

Calugarul din vechiul schit
O zi la el ne-a gazduit
Si de-ale lumii am vorbit
Si de amor, si de iubire.

Cand am vazut l-am intrebat
Ce dor ascuns te-a indemnat
Sa-ti cauti loc printre sihastri?
El mi-a raspuns: Doi ochi albastri.

Calugarul din vechiul schit
De-atata dor a-nebunit
Si prin ai sai prieteni buni
Trecu la casa de nebuni

Calugarul din vechiul schit
De-acelasi dor a si murit
Iar la mormant printre sihastri
Plangeau amar doi ochi albastri.
