“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.
