This is yet another carol with funny lyrics.. A young boy is asked why he is down, is it because his parents do not let him off to marry? The boy answers that his parents do let him, but his plan is different. He is waiting for spring, to make a garden, a garden with a fountain and beautiful flowers. Girls would thereafter come pick the flowers, and then he could pick from the girls in his turn, the one to have as his "little wife". He does say he prefers one who is small and strong... (who knows what he had in mind there...)
lyrics
Ce stai june suparatu'
Junelu-i tinerelu'
Cand ti vremea de zuratu'
Ori de-acasa nu te lasa
Junelu-i tinerelu'
Ba dea casa ca ma lasa
Da astept in primavara
Junelu-i tinerelu'
Ca sa-mi fac o gradioara
O fantana si-o gradina
Junelu-i tinerelu'
La flori fetele sa vina
Ele florile or culege
Junelu-i tinerelu'
Eu din fete oi alege
Pa' mai mica mai voinica
Junelu-i tinerelu'
Ea sa-mi fie nevestica.
