There’s no certain etymology for this word, “saraiman”. Some say it means “poor”, or “cottage”, or even “I sing”. All three meanings keep the same plot line: girl loves boy. He doesn’t respond to her feelings. Either he is in love with another girl, either their parents don’t agree with their relation. Either way, the girl suffers and she is singing these verses, that almost sound like an incantation:
If the love I have inside,
Would trace your steps and haunt your nights,
Would trace your steps and haunt your nights,
Saraiman and Saraiman
Hardly you would get much sleep,
Nor for other, further weep,
For a love as big as mine,
You may never find alike,
You may never find alike,
Saraiman and Saraiman,
And my tenderness is such,
There’s no other soul to match,
If I only knew you came,
I would gladly pave your way,
I would gladly pave your way,
Saraiman and Saraiman,
Paved in flowers and in gems,
So you don’t show up too late.
- Romica Puceanu

Regret
Regret ca nu pot, financiar vorbind, sa cumpar aproape tot ce apare in oferta dvs. Mi-ar placea foarte mult sa o fac. Am cumparat Saraiman pentru fiica mea care locuieste in Texas. Ea e cea care v-a descoperit, urmand sfatul unui poet iesean pe care il indrageste si ale carui postari le urmareste permanent. Poetul se numeste Fabian Anton si stilul lui se potriveste de minune cu ce aveti/produceti(?) dvs. si cu ce avem noi, pentru ca sotul meu si cu mine tocmai am sfintit (de Boboteaza) casuta pe care ne-am construit-o alaturi de vechea casa parinteasca a sotului meu. Regret ca nu pot sa va trimit o fotografie, pentru ca e o casuta facuta pe tipicul caselor traditionale romanesti. Prin urmare mi-ar fi placut sa o impodobesc cu tablouri ca Saraiman care parca e facut pentru acest spatiu. O sa avem totusi tabloul pana la vara, cand il predam fetei noastre. Tot e ceva!
Tineti-o tot asa si cu siguranta ne vom mai intalni, in aceasta lume nebuna care pare ca vrea sa isi stearga complet trecutul.
Cu multumiri,
Irina si Vali Popa si fiica lor Ioana Andreea Botezatu
