China

Lyrics:

[Română]

[English]

Am corupt femeile și-mi asum toată vina

I've corrupted the women and I take all the blame

Și le-am mărit procentele pentru export în China

And I raised their percentages for export to China

Le pun două nume false, Yaonbuci și Cekurai

I give them two fake names, Yaonbuci and Cekurai

Gagici cu centura neagră la Kung-Fu și la parai, la Kung-Fu și la parai

Chicks with a black belt in Kung-Fu and in money, in Kung-Fu and in money

Hai că am ajuns și-n China, nu credeam că ajung aici

Come on, I've arrived in China, I didn't think I'd get here

Româncele ia cu totul că ăștia sunt cei mai mici

The Romanian girls take everything because these guys are the smallest

Intră câte șase-șapte, zici că-s boabe de orez

Six or seven go in, you'd say they're grains of rice

Dragoste pe interes, sus pe zidul chinezesc

Love for profit, up on the Chinese wall

Mă numesc Tzomping Tzondes

My name is Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Chinese Gypsy mobster

Am gagica cea mai tare

I have the hottest chick

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Chinese Gypsy mobster

Am gagica cea mai tare

I have the hottest chick

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Small eyes and a big ass

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Chinese Gypsy mobster

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Chinese Gypsy mobster

Am gagica cea mai tare

I have the hottest chick

Ochii mici și curu’ mare

Small eyes and a big ass

Am un cuplu la Beijing, cu ei vreau să facem swing

I have a couple in Beijing, I want to swing with them

Vreau neapărat să-i ard, să ne dea pinul la card

I definitely want to burn them, to give us the PIN to the card

Iar sar s-arăți bichinii, fac mascații harachiri

Again you jump to show the panties, the masked men commit harakiri

Că n-au cum să mă găsească în mafia chinezească, în mafia chinezească

Because they can't find me in the Chinese mafia, in the Chinese mafia

Hai că am ajuns și-n China, nu credeam că ajung aici

Come on, I've arrived in China, I didn't think I'd get here

Româncele ia cu totul că ăștia sunt cei mai mici

The Romanian girls take everything because these guys are the smallest

Intră câte șase-șapte, zici că-s boabe de orez

Six or seven go in, you'd say they're grains of rice

Dragoste pe interes, sus pe zidul chinezesc

Love for profit, up on the Chinese wall

Mă numesc Tzomping Tzondes

My name is Tzomping Tzondes

Tzigan mafiot chinez

Chinese Gypsy mobster

Am gagica cea mai tare

Grammar:

• Am corupt femeile și-mi asum toată vina

  ➔ Reflexive Pronoun (impersonal 'mi')

  ➔ The 'mi' in 'și-mi asum' is a reflexive pronoun that adds emphasis, implying a personal acceptance of blame. It could be translated as 'and I myself take all the blame'. It's not strictly necessary but adds a personal touch.

• Și le-am mărit procentele pentru export în China

  ➔ Perfect Compound Tense ('am mărit')

  ➔ 'Am mărit' is the perfect compound tense of the verb 'a mări' (to increase), indicating a completed action in the past. It highlights the result of the action. 'I have increased'.

• Le pun două nume false, Yaonbuci și Cekurai

  ➔ Dative Pronoun 'Le'

  ➔ 'Le' is a dative pronoun, meaning 'to them'. It indicates that the action of 'pun' (I give/assign) is directed towards the women. 'I give them two false names'.

• Hai că am ajuns și-n China, nu credeam că ajung aici

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood ('credeam că ajung')

  ➔ While not strictly subjunctive, the phrase 'nu credeam că ajung' expresses a lack of belief or expectation about reaching China. It implies a condition or possibility rather than a definite fact. In Romanian, this is often expressed with 'că' + subjunctive-like verb forms, though the distinction is blurry.

• Româncele ia cu totul că ăștia sunt cei mai mici

  ➔ Superlative ('cei mai mici')

  ➔ 'Cei mai mici' is the superlative form of 'mic' (small). It means 'the smallest' or 'the shortest'. It's used here to describe the Chinese men, potentially in a derogatory way.

• Intră câte șase-șapte, zici că-s boabe de orez

  ➔ Impersonal 'Zici că' + Comparative

  ➔ 'Zici că' means 'You'd say that' or 'It's like'. It's used impersonally to make a comparison. The comparison is that the women entering look like grains of rice because there are so many of them.

• Dragoste pe interes, sus pe zidul chinezesc

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase ('pe interes')

  ➔ 'Pe interes' means 'based on interest' or 'for personal gain'. It describes the nature of the love being referred to.

• Vreau neapărat să-i ard, să ne dea pinul la card

  ➔ Subjunctive (să-i ard, să ne dea)

  ➔ The structure 'să + verb' expresses a desire or intention. 'Să-i ard' (I want to trick/scam him), 'să ne dea pinul la card' (that he gives us the PIN for the card).
