Cuscra Lyrics in English Lia Taburcean

“Cuscra” turns a traditional Moldovan wedding into a lively musical chat between two brand-new in-laws. Lia Taburcean slips into the role of the groom’s proud mother, cheerfully calling the bride’s mum cuscră (a friendly term for “co-mother-in-law”). With a wink she “apologizes” for her son stealing the other woman’s greatest treasure, yet she quickly boasts about the boy’s golden qualities: he works hard, loves deeply, speaks when needed and stays silent when it matters. In short, he is “the most Ion of all Ions,” a real catch.

The compliments fly both ways. The singer praises the bride as modest, resourceful, and able to win gold medals in house-keeping and singing. Just like the groom learned to cherish a woman from his father, the bride mirrors the grace of her mother-in-law. Behind the playful teasing lies a warm celebration of family unity, mutual respect, and the joyful passing of traditions from one generation to the next. Dancing along, you can almost hear the clinking of wedding glasses and the laughter of two families becoming one.
