Hey how! Let’s go!
Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
Join the train, be our guest!
Chișinău – Bucharest

Merge trenul, parcă zboară
Dintr-o țară-n altă țară
Merge și nu poate pricepe
Care țară? Unde-ncepe?
Țară veche, țară nouă
Parcă-i una, parcă-s două
Ba aparte, ba-mpreună
Parcă-s două, parcă-i una

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore și Rock’n’roll
Pleacă trenul! Unde esti?
Chișinău – București

Și-ntr-o țară, și-n cealaltă
Joacă hora laolaltă
Și în fiecare țară
Face farmece vioara
Când ajunge trenu-n gară
Parcă n-a ieșit din țară
Parcă-a mers, fără să iasă
De acasă pân-acasă

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore și Rock’n’roll
Pleacă trenul! Unde esti?
Chisinău – București
Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore și Rock’n’roll
Pleacă trenul! Unde esti?
Chisinău – București
Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore și Rock’n’roll
Pleacă trenul! Unde esti?
Chisinău – București

Chisinău – București

Merge iute, merge bine
Trenu’ leganat de sine
Dar nu poate sa-nteleaga
Prin care tara alearga
Țară veche, țară nouă
Parcă-i una, parcă-s două
Ba aparte, ba-mpreună
Parcă-s două, parcă-i una

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore și Rock’n’roll
Pleacă trenul! Unde esti?
Chisinău – București

Hey how! Let’s go!

The train is moving, it's like it's flying
From one country to another
He walks and can't understand
Which country? Where do you start?
Old country, new country
It's like one, it's like two
Separately, together
It's like two, it's one

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest

And in one country, and in another
Play the chorus together
And in every country
Charms the violin
When the train arrives at the station
It's like he's out of the country
It was as if he was walking without coming out
From home to home

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest
Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest
Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest

Chisinau - Bucharest

It goes fast, it goes well
Self-rocking train
But he can't understand
Through which the country runs
Old country, new country
It's like one, it's like two
Separately, together
It's like two, it's one

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest

Hey how! Let’s go!
Folklore and Rock’n’roll
The train is leaving! Where are you?
Chisinau - Bucharest
Hey how! Let’s go!
