Ask the mountains

Don't come after
Come
Don't come after
Please don't follow me along
When you read this I'll be gone
Ask the mountains
Springs and fountains
Why couldn't this go on?
Couldn't our happiness go on?
Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
When the night gives in, to tell you why
Ask the mountains
Wild woods, highlands
Ask the green in the woods and the trees
The cold breeze coming in from the sea
Springs and fountains
Ask the mountains
Ask the sun that lightens up the sky
When the night gives in, to tell you why
Tell the mountains
Springs and fountains
Why couldn't this go on?
Couldn't our happiness go on?

Forgotten Roads - Tabla Buţii

Don't come after

Ask the mountains

Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?

Ask the sun that lightens up the sky

Ask the mountains

Ask the green in the woods and the trees

Ask the mountains

Why couldn't this go on?

Couldn't our happiness go on?

Ask the mountains

Wild woods, highlands

Don't come after

Please don't follow me along

When you read this I'll be gone

lyrics / ASK THE MOUNTAINS/ Vangelis

Tabla Buţii is a "pass" - an alpine passage at the height of 1340m, in the Curvature Carpathians.

The link through this thoroughfare was always made between the Southern Carpathians towards Muntenia and the interior bend of the Carpathians's curvature to the North - West through Ţara Bârsei with Transylvania.

This pathway is easily accessible thanks to the landscape - not very hilly, being the shortest way between Transylvania towards the Occident and the Danube's exits to the Black Sea, towards Levant.

Tabla Buţii spot is the summit, the peak between the Valley of the Teleajen that rises from Muntenia and the origins of Buzău in the Ciucaş Massif towards Transylvania.

The name of Tabla Buţii comes from the printed "tables" - applied in the past on the barrells filled with merchandise during customs, because there was a custom between Ţara Românească and Transylvania.
