Te Strig Lyrics in English by Ioana Ignat
Îngropat literally means "buried". It's a powerful and evocative word that goes beyond simple sadness, suggesting a deliberate act of putting something away permanently.
In the song, the artist sings, "Toate amintirile cu noi le-am îngropat" (All the memories with us, I have buried them). This metaphor vividly conveys the depth of her pain and her attempt to move on by symbolically burying the past, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.
This song by Romanian artist Ioana Ignat is all about the difficult process of getting over someone. She starts by admitting there's an internal fight going on: "În mine iar se naște o luptă" (A fight is born in me again). She's trying to convince herself she's moved on, saying she's buried all their memories and even forgotten her ex's face. The line "Am păstrat doar florile dar nu le-am mai udat" (I only kept the flowers but I haven't watered them) is such a perfect image for this—she's holding onto a symbol of the relationship, but she's actively letting it die.
But the chorus reveals how hard this really is. She repeats "Te strig, te strig, te strig" (I call you, I call you, I call you), showing she's still reaching out, even if only in her head, to someone who is "departe, departe" (far, far away). At the same time, she confesses, "Mă mint, mă mint, mă mint / Și nu mă las să simt" (I lie to myself, I lie to myself, I lie to myself / And I don't let myself feel). It's that painful moment in a breakup where you're putting on a brave face and telling yourself you're fine, but you're still calling out for the person who left.
