Here are some of the poems I like. All are in Romanian with their translation in English. Enjoy!

Adio De-acuma nu te-oi mai vedea, Ramii, ramii cu bine! Mă voi feri în calea mea De tine. De astazi dar tu fă ce vrei, De astazi nu-mi mai pasa Ca cea mai dulce-ntre femei Mă lasa. Căci nu mai am de obicei Ca-n zilele acele, Să mă imbat si de scântei Din stele, Când degerind atitea dati, Eu mă uitam prin ramuri Si asteptam să te arati La geamuri. O, cât eram de fericit Să mergem impreuna, Sub acel farmec linistit De luna! Si când în taina mă rugam Ca noaptea-n loc să steie, In veci alături să te am, Femeie! Din a lor treacat să apuc Acele dulci cuvinte, De care azi abia mi-aduc Aminte. Căci astazi daca mai ascult Nimicurile-aceste, Imi pare-o veche, de demult Poveste. Si daca luna bate-n lunci Si tremura pe lacuri, Totusi îmi pare ca de-atunci Sunt veacuri. Cu ochii serei cei dintii Eu n-o voi mai privi-o... De-aceea-mi urma mea ramii- Adio! Mihai Eminescu

Farewell We part for ever from today, Farewell beloved one; And I, unto my death ,your way Will shun. I care not now where you may go. You can no more bereave me, Today the sweetest girl I know Does leave me. Nor shall I as in former hours Build Spanish castles high, With star-lit windows ,and with towers Of sky. When ,shivering with bitter cold, Through winter nights uncertain, I watched lest you perhaps unfold Your curtain. O what delight to stroll with you Beneath the flowering plum-trees, When poured its light their branches through, The moon. How often did I secret pray Swift night her sails would furl, That we night thus forever stray, Fair girl ! That I might catch with rapturous thrill The words that you let fall, And that today I barely still Recall. For if today I part the veil And see what time portended, I feel that long ago the tale Was ended. And when the moon enrapts the streams And trembles on the fen, A thousand years have flown it seems Since then. For I no longer am confined In that sweet country's spell ; Aye, I have left you far behind, Farewell. Mihai Eminescu

Si daca Si dacĺ ramuri bat în geam Si se cutremur plopii, E ca în minte sĺ te am Si-ncet sĺ te apropii. Si dacĺ stele bat în lac Adâncu-i luminându-l, E ca durerea mea s-o-mpac Inseninându-mi gândul. Si dacĺ norii desi se duc De iese-n luciu luna, E ca aminte sĺ-mi aduc De tine-ntodeauna. Mihai Eminescu

And if branches And if the branches tap the pane And poplars trembling quiver; Thine image comes to mind again; I see thee gliding hither. And if the star shine beats the lake, Its sombre depths illuming; This but to sooth my longing ache, And rouse my thoughts from glooming. And if the storm clouds disappear, And forth the moon comes shining; It only tells thou hast no peer, And sole- supreme art reigning. Mihai Eminescu
