Verse 1
With whom would you like to go home today?
With whom would you like to wake up?
Who would you like to embrace?
Last time, like the first time, last time
Nobody ever asks me anything
I say what I feel, but only when I don't know what to say anymore
Just so you know, the door's still a little open today
Last time, like the first time, but last time
Prechorus 1
For me, it's either you or nobody
Today or tomorrow, it's either you or nobody
And there is nobody else, you know well
For me, it's either you or nobody
Chorus 1
Only you shatter the world into colors
And come back at dawn
Make the world rejoice for us again
Or: Make her (the world) be happy for us again
The whole world
You run, and you don't hide from anyone
That you've set your world on fire
It burns today, it burns
But until tomorrow
Only you shatter the world into colors
And come back at dawn
Make the world rejoice for us again
The whole world
Lit: All the world
You run, and you don't hide from anyone
That you've set your world on fire
It burns today, it burns
But until tomorrow
But you're the first and the last
Verse 2
Where would you like to come from tomorrow?
With whom would you like?
At whose house would you like to leave something behind?
And lie to me, lie to me that it wasn't enough
Last time, like the first time
Nobody ever asks you anything
Neither how you feel, nor what you want to say
It's so hard, it's so hard when you know you're explaining
Last time, like the first time, but last time
Prechorus 2
For me, it's either you or nobody
Today or tomorrow, it's either you or nobody
And there is nobody else, you know well
For me, it's either you or nobody
Chorus 2
Only you shatter the world into colors
And come back at dawn
Make the world rejoice for us again
The whole world
You run, and you don't hide from anyone
That you've set your world on fire
It burns today, it burns
But until tomorrow
Chorus 3
You shatter the world into colors
And come back at dawn
Make the world rejoice for us again
The whole world
You run, and you don't hide from anyone
That you've set your world on fire
It burns today, it burns
But until tomorrow

spargi — you break / you shatter

Spargi means 'you break' or 'you shatter'. It's a strong, active verb that immediately grabs attention, as it's not a word typically associated with positive, romantic imagery.

In the song, the line "Doar tu spargi lumea-n culori" (Only you break the world into colors) uses spargi metaphorically. It suggests that the person being addressed has such a profound impact that they shatter the mundane, colorless world, transforming it into something vibrant and full of life. This unexpected and poetic use makes it a memorable and enticing word.

Carla’s Dreams brings an intense, all-or-nothing romantic obsession in "Doar Tu" (Only You). Right off the bat, he bombards his love interest with rapid-fire, jealous questions about whose house she wants to go to, who she wants to wake up with, and whose place she wants to accidentally "leave something behind" at: "La cine ai vrea să uiți ceva, tu?" [Whose place would you like to leave something at, you?]. That detail is wonderfully sharp—leaving an earring or a hoodie behind is the oldest trick in the dating handbook to guarantee a reason to return. The narrator makes it clear that he will not settle for anyone else, spelling out his stubborn stance with "Pentru mine ești ori tu, ori nimeni" [For me it's either you, or nobody].

There is a desperate ticking-clock vibe running through the chorus, where he begs her to return at dawn ("întoarce-te în zori") while their world is burning down today until tomorrow. He uses the idiom "spargi lumea-n culori" [you shatter the world into colors], treating her presence like a prism that suddenly splits a dull reality into vivid light. Even though he keeps saying this interaction is "ultima dată, ca prima dată" [the last time, like the first time], you can tell he is completely hooked. He even leaves a tiny exit sign on: "Să știi că azi mai e deschisă ușa un pic" [Know that today the door is still open a little]. It is messy, demanding pop music about refusing to let someone walk away.
