Înainte Să Ne Fi Născut Lyrics in English by The Motans
Muritor translates to "mortal" or "a mortal being". It's a word that carries a sense of human fragility and the finite nature of life.
In the song, the line "Așa că am ales să te iubesc / Ca un simplu muritor de rând" (So I chose to love you / Like a simple ordinary mortal) highlights a profound choice. Despite the song's themes of timelessness and souls existing before birth, the singer chooses to love with the intensity and vulnerability of a mere mortal, emphasizing the depth and preciousness of that human experience.
This song by Moldovan artist The Motans is a huge romantic idea. It's about two souls who knew each other before they were even born. The singer imagines a time before life on Earth, where he and his soulmate were together. He says, "Înainte să ne fi născut / Te-am rugat pe tine să-mi alegi culoarea ochilor" (Before we were born / I asked you to choose the color of my eyes). Because all they had ever seen was the sky, she chose blue for him. It's such a beautiful and original way to talk about a deep connection.
But now, in this life, he feels lost and alone, "Bătut de timp și cu inima frântă" (Beaten by time and with a broken heart). He feels like he's dying of thirst waiting for her. Still, he holds onto the promise they made to find each other again. The song is full of hope that they will meet, either in this life or the next. He has this amazing thought about perspective: "Poate, poate / Apusul de soare e doar răsăritul văzut de la spate" (Maybe, maybe / The sunset is just the sunrise seen from behind). It suggests that what looks like an end could really be a new beginning.
