Dracula Blues [English translation]

At the emperor's court, it's a big meeting

landowners are sitting, some are even standing

They're discussing problems, they're analizing

what doesn't work, what's uncomfortable

In the head of the table, the Impaler Emperor is sitting

Landowner Velea makes the presence and counts.

Vasile is standing, says: "God, Impaler,

the cereal and meat production is working

the plan in the slag industry is exceeded

and I've been informed that they're not stealing anymore

In the spike productions, God, we're #1 in the world

We exceeded the americans with no shame, we can tell!"

"But there are problems even in the spike productions!"

stands up landowner Şulea Trepe

"We no longer have maple wood, production has stagnated since yesterday,

And the oak, Impaler God, we keep it only for the landowners,

that's why I'm proposing to produce spikes from plum wood!

They're gonna be less alchoolics and the wood is quite good..,"

"That's a good proposal", said the Impaler, "I propose

that tomorrow we're gonna start the plum wood production!

Everything has to work, spike must be good,

Don't neglect the design problem,

The spike must be slim, to satisfy the client

to suit perfectly with the climax and ambient,

Send workers to specialize

So the wood economy won't be neglected

Through a fair redesign to eliminate any sophistry,

So that the spikes can withstand the earthquake as well"
