“Ae” is Carla’s Dreams’ open-hearted confession of longing. The singer drops all pretence, admitting how painfully he misses his lover and how the nights themselves seem to scold him for being alone. “Ae” becomes a secret code for the state they both crave: a fearless together-ness where there is no shame and no half-truths; only the sweet scent of May on her lips and the feeling that every evening could be the last breath of spring.
In a playful back-and-forth, both voices promise honesty, gather every bitter and sweet memory, and wrap themselves in whispered dreams while they wait to reunite. The song’s final, quick-fire commands—“stai, urcă, pune mâini, buze” (“stop, climb, put hands, lips”)—mirror the rising heartbeat of passion returning. “Ae” is therefore a celebration of raw emotion: it turns longing into poetry, transforms guilt into hopeful naïveté, and reminds us that love feels freshest when we dare to speak it out loud.
Carla's Dreams is an enigmatic music project originating from Chișinău, Moldova, active since 2012. Known for their unique blend of pop, rock, dance, electronic, and hip hop, the group captures audiences with their multilingual songs performed in Romanian, English, and Russian. The lead singer, codenamed Sergiu, and his fellow band members maintain anonymity by concealing their identities with hooded sweatshirts, sunglasses, and theatrical masks.
Rising to fame with the 2013 hit "P.O.H.U.I." in collaboration with Inna, Carla's Dreams quickly became a staple on Romanian charts with multiple number-one singles. Their groundbreaking albums "Ngoc" and "Antiexemplu" showcase their eclectic style and lyrical depth. Beyond music, Carla's Dreams has proved influential on television as jurors on popular talent shows like X-Factor Romania and SuperStar România, adding to their dynamic presence in the Romanian entertainment scene.
