Legend of the outlaw Pintea
Rohia, Maramureș county, July 2014
Detail on a carved wooden fence in Rohia village, Maramureș county.
"La Budești, între hotară,
Este-un fag cu frunza rară
Și la umbra fagului,
Pintea cu ortacii lui;
Să uită cătă Gutâi,
C-acolo-i pivnița lui.
Pă săraci îi miluiște,
Pă bogațI îi jefuiește."
"To Budeşti, between frontiers
There’s a beech with quite few leaves
And in beech’s shade there stand
Pintea and his fellow men
Looking at the Gutâi peek
For there is his vault they seek
To the poor he gives his alms
And the rich he always robs."
