Cine trece-n valea seaca
Cu hangeru fara teaca
Si cu pieptul dezvelit
Andrii Popa cel vestit
Andrii Popa cel vestit

Sapte ani cu voinicie
Si-a batut joc de domnie
Si tot prada neincetat
Andrii Popa hot barbat

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

Zi si noapte tot calare
Trage fir din drumu mare
Si din tara peste tot
Fug neferii cat ce pot
Fug neferii cu ce pot

Caci el are-o pusca plina
Cu trei glonti la radacina
Si are un murg de patru ani
Care musca din dusmani

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic


Si are frati de cruce sapte
Ce au supt sangele cu lapte
Si nu-i pasa de nimic
Andrii Popa cel voinic
Andrii Popa cel voinic


E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinïc

Who roams in the dry valley
With the sword unsheathed
And open chest
Andrii Popa the famous


For seven years with bravery
He has mocked authorities
Robbing constantly
Andrii Popa the thiefman

He's an outlaw and he's famous
Andrii Popa the strong




Riding day and night
Barricades the big roads
And from all over the country
Tyrants run away as fast as they can


‘Cause he has a loaded gun
with 3 bullets at the root
and a 4 years old brown horse
which bites enemies











And he has seven cross-brothers
Who have drunk milk with blood
And he cares about nothing
Andrii popa the strong
