You Can Never Hold Back Spring

You can never hold back spring
You can be sure that I will never
Stop believing
The blushing rose will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream
Every time

You can never hold back spring
Even though you've lost your way
The world keeps dreaming of spring

So close your eyes
Open you heart
To one who's dreaming of you
You can never hold back spring
Baby

Remember everything that spring
Can bring
You can never hold back spring

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.
