Tu Si Eu Lyrics in English by Carla's Dreams, INNA
Opșpe is a colloquial and somewhat playful way to say "eighteen" in Romanian. While the standard word is optsprezece, opșpe is a more informal and endearing term.
In the song, the line "Ne iubim până la stele ca la opșpe ani" (We love each other to the stars like when we were eighteen) evokes a sense of youthful, passionate, and perhaps slightly rebellious love. The use of opșpe instead of the more formal optsprezece adds to this feeling of nostalgia and a carefree, young spirit, making it a unique and memorable word in the lyrics.
This song is a beautiful story about a love that lasts. It's from the Moldovan artist Carla's Dreams and tells the tale of a couple who have been together since they were young. They started out as "doi nebuni singuri împotriva lumii" (two crazies alone against the world) and kept that same energy even after having a family. The chorus is so sweet, saying "Ne iubim până la stele ca la opșpe ani" (We love each other to the stars like when we were 18). They made a choice to stay young at heart and true to each other.
What's really cool is how the song looks back on their journey. The singer remembers how they didn't have many photos but had plenty of memories, and even jokes that his partner used to scold him like his mom. The big surprise is how their story turned out. He asks, "Şi cine-ar fi crezut că vom fi... Tot doi nebuni dar cu doi copii?" (And who would have thought we would be... the same two crazies but with two kids?). It’s a celebration of growing up together without growing old, and keeping that wild, teenage love alive through everything.
