Between people's ideals and their fulfillment

Între idealurile oamenilor si realizarea lor,

There will always exist a difference in level,

Întotdeauna va exista

Which surpasses the highest waterfall.

O diferentã de nivel mai mare decît cea mai înalta cascadã.

Nevertheless we can use rationally

Se poate folosi rational aceastã cãdere de sperante,

This fall of expectations by building on it

Construindu-se pe ea ceva ca o hidrocentralã.

Something like a hydroelectric power station.

De la energia astfel cîstigatã,

With the energy obtained this way,

Chiar decã n-o sã reusim sã ne aprindem decît tigãrile,

Even if we can't do more than light our cigarettes,

Tot e ceva,

Still, this is quite something,

Pentru cã fumînd, ne putem gîndi serios

As while we smoke,

La niste idealuri si mai grozave.

We can seriously,

Think of even greater ideals.
