Dear Bianca,
Welcome to the Czernowitz-List.
Nice to have another member who remembers things as they were.
As to Romanian patriotic songs:
The one I remember best is:
Hai s'dem mana cu mana, cei cu inima Romana.
s'invirtim hora fratiei pe pamantul Romaniei .....
translation:
let's give hands to each other, those with a Romanian heart,
we'll will go round in a brotherly Hora on the soil of Romania...
Mimi
Quoting Bianca Rosenthal <brosenth_at_calpoly.edu>:
> Great pictures of those backyards. The doors on the gangways
> provided access to the apartment
> unless the owners were wealthy and had a doorway from the
> main stairway into the better part of the place.
> The courtyard was also a fun place for the kids. We lived at
> Hormusackigasse 3 (Hurmuzachistr) in my early
> childhood. There was a water pump in the courtyard, perfect
> for splashing around. Other amusements:
> the pots and pans repair man and the accompanying noise; the
> metal bar on top of two poles where you beat
> the dust out of your carpets with a "trapaczka" and last but not
> least the "hurdy gurdy" man and his music.
> There was no need for TV.
> Another song besides the National hymn was "Trei culori cunosc
> pe lume" referring to the colors of the
> Romanian flag.
