nu este chiar asa... carol(l)ing se foloseste foarte bine de Anul Nou. V. https://www.google.ro/search?hl=ro&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=”ne...

Problema e cå buhaiul este folosit de cåtre uråtorii de Anul Nou, nu cu ocazia Cråciunului si deci nu se poate folosi "carol", care înseamnå "colindå"
crocox Jul 7, 2013:
It's only the title of a painting. Maybe it can be named: Waits with bull on St. Basil's Day.
simona_v1 (asker) Jul 7, 2013:
Unfortunately, there is no text, "uratura cu buhaiul" is the name of a painting. It actually refers to a Romanian tradition during the winter holidays. "Buhai" is a folk musical instrument.

@ Simona-v1 Hello Simona,
Could you show a bit more of the surrounding text please?

Selected

carol(l)ing with the (ritual) friction drum/buhai

Depinde de cat de explicativ e necesar sa fie titlul, cel mai bine ar fi sa ramana ”buhai” netradus sau sa se dea o nota de subsol explicand ca este un tip de ”friction drum” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_drum).
Peer comment(s):
agree Sandra & Kenneth Grossman : N-as lasa buhaiul in original sub nicio forma. Ce importanta are numele in Ro?

Multumesc. E o varianta de ”friction drum”. Se lasa destul de frecvent in original. Depinde de tipul de text...

Waits with bull-bellowing on St.Basil's Day

O sugestie

buhai=folk musical instrument imitating the bellowing of a bull (it is used by the waits on the eve of St.Basil's Day) (Dicţionar român-englez Leon Leviţchi)
Peer comment(s):
neutral Sandra & Kenneth Grossman : 1. Waits with bull-bellowing!? 2. The "bull-bellowing" and St. Basil nu mi se par relevante pt. o pictura. "Waits with bull bellowing " mi se pare un titlu care in cel mai bun caz trezeste nedumerire.

Buhaiul se foloseşte de către urători numai de Sf. Vasile şi imită mugetul boului. Sigur există variante mai bune decât a mea, a fost doar o idee.
