As long as I stay in your shade, great forest,
Your foliage will rock me, from the mountain like this;
Cold streams would bother me, if you know how to listen
Tell me what in the world you would say, from long ago.
I will seek hidden paths, with guiding stars
Let no man or beast hear me;
Secretly I will find out, hidden under the Lady's Stone,
I will be removed from this world, in the immortality of autumn.
Under Piatra Doamnei
Long would I linger in your shade, ye majestic wood!
From lofty crag your leaves will soothe, linger if I should!
Icy streams will softly whisper yarns to my ear,
From olden times across the world, if I care to hear. Hidden pathways again I will seek, guided by the star Never a soul, whether man or beast, should hear me from afar
Away from this world I will abide, immortal autumn's heir.
