Transsylvania Phoenix, but usually only called Phoenix, is a Romanian band. The members consist of Nicu Covaci, Josef Kappl, Mircea Baniciu, Ovidiu Lipan, Mani Neumann, Cristi Gram and Ionuţ Cons. The romanian answer to “Jethro Tull ” . And a really curious story behind: Frontman Covaci 1974 went into exile in Amsterdam and renounced Romanian citizenship. In 1977, he helps his bandmates to seek refuge in “Marshall” speakers from Romania to German exile. Here is their song : Norocul inogului (part in french and in romanian language )

Monoceros est beste,
un cor at en la teste.
Pur ço issi at nun,
de bouquet at façon.

Par une pulcele est prise,
or oyez en quelle guise.

De o copilă e prins,
Inorogul prinţ,
De o copilă e prins,
Licornul prinţ.

Ea cu sânii în floare şi dulce,
mi-l adastă ca pe un stăpân.
El aleargă-ntr-un suflet să-şi culce,
mândrul cap pe-al ei galeş sân.

Capu-n poala ei bine nu-şi pune,
că-mi adoarme ca un prunc.
Vânătorul atunci îl răpune,
mi-l răpune în veşted crâng.

Aşa-i ucis în somn,
Inorogul domn!
Aşa-i ucis în somn,
Licornul domn!

En son devan se dort
issi vient a sa mort.
En son devan se dort
issi vient a sa mort.
