| And it snows ... |
 |
| And in the great town it snows, The night is flush with orgies, and Through gilded halls comes the sound Of brass bands and of orchestras. |
| 1881-1957 |
 |
| Si ninge ... |
| Si ninge in orasul mare E noapte plina de orgii, Iar prin saloane aurii S-aud orchestre, si fanfare. |
| Femei nocturne, singurele La colt de strada se atin, Desfrau de bere si de vin Prin berarii, si cafenele. |
 |
 |
| Solitary nocturnal women Keep watch at street corners, In bars and cafes there's A beery, vinous dissolution. |
| Dazzling window displays, Diamond, and ruby ... The town is flush with money, And in the great town it snows !... |
| De orbitoare galantare De diamant, si de rubin ... Si de averi orasu-i plin, Si ninge in orasul mare !... |
