I have left, and I have left to cross the Olt
I have left, and I have left to cross the Olt
With my, with my, with my sweetheart as well
With my, with my, with my sweetheart as well
And the bridge keeper, and the bridge keeper asks for a penny
And the bridge keeper, and the bridge keeper asks for a penny
And my, and my, and my sweetheart for good
And my, and my, and my sweetheart for good
But rather then, but rather then give him a penny
But rather then, but rather then give him a penny
Better, better, better to swim across it
Better, better, better to swim across the Olt
As where, as where Olt is deeper
As where, as where Olt is deeper
My sweetheart will carry me, will carry me, will carry me, on her back
My sweetheart will carry me, will carry me, will carry me, on her back
And where, and where, and where Olt is shallower
And where, and where, and where Olt is shallower
I'll go myself, I'll go myself, I'll go myself as I'm quite strong
I'll go myself, I'll go myself, I'll go myself as I'm quite strong
