I am an endangered species, But I sing no victim song.

English term or phrase: I am an endangered species, But I sing no victim song.
Sunt primele versuri ale unui cântec și ... poate exagerez eu, dar nu-mi place deloc cum sună o traducere mot-a-mot.
Pe YouTube, am găsit următoarea subtitrare:
Sunt o specie pe cale de dispariție
Dar nu cânt cântecul nici unei victime.

M-am gândit așa:
Sunt o specie vulnerabilă
Dar nu-mi asum rolul de victimă,
Însă textul spune I sing no victim SONG..
Mi-ar prinde bine niște idei ...

Nu cânt melodia victimei.


Explanation:
The translation "Nu cânt melodia victimei" is more accurate and captures the intended meaning of the English phrase. It conveys the idea that the speaker is acknowledging their status as an endangered species but refuses to portray themselves as a victim.

Example sentences in Romanian:
1. Nu voi cânta niciodată melodia tristeții.
2. Nu mai vreau să aud melodii de dragoste.
3. Cântecul meu preferat este o melodie energetică.
4. Nu pot să scot din minte această melodie.

Explanation:
Sunt o specie pe cale de dispariție
Dar nu fac pe victima în a mea compoziție

Sunt o specie rară, fără tăgadă
Dar nu-mi plâng de milă în a mea baladă/serenadă

(dacă nu este necesară rima, rămân variantele simple: a nu face pe victima/a nu-și plânge de milă)
