Verse 1
I wake up with you on my mind
'Tine-n gând' is shortened 'tine în gând' meaning directly 'you in (my) thinking'
About you I want to sing
My melody of longing
Could be less literally translated as 'My song about missing you'
That everyone likes
Literally: That pleases everyone
Prechorus 1
You don't respond to my SMS
I write to you so often
Maybe I behaved badly
But know that I loved you
Chorus 1
I'm drowning in your eyes
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Like in English, in Romanian you would more commonly say 'Cânt despre tine' = 'I sing about you'
Day and night
Chorus 2
I'm drowning in your eyes
If you are wondering, the 'la la la la lei' is the equivalent to 'blah blah blah'
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Like in English, in Romanian you would more commonly say Cânt despre tine = I sing about you
Day and night
Verse 2
If you come with me into a dream
I will teach you to laugh
And I'll sing to you until dawn
My little song of longing
Cântecel (little song) is a diminutive of cântec (song)
Prechorus 2
You don't respond to my SMS
I write to you so often
Maybe I behaved badly
But know that I loved you
As you may have already noticed, the 'ș' is read as 'sh'
Chorus 3
I'm drowning in your eyes
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Day and night
Chorus 4
I'm drowning in your eyes
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Day and night
I'm drowning in your eyes
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Day and night
I'm drowning in your eyes
The world cries for them
You're an angel on earth
About you I sing
Day and night

înecI drown

Înec literally means "I drown". It's a powerful and dramatic verb that you don't encounter in everyday conversation or every song.

In this song, the singer uses it metaphorically in the line "Mă înec în ochii tăi" (I drown in your eyes). This vivid imagery expresses being completely overwhelmed and consumed by the beauty and depth of the beloved's eyes, conveying an intense feeling of love and adoration. It's a memorable way to describe being lost in someone's gaze.

This song is a perfect example of a high-energy dance track with some seriously dramatic, over-the-top lyrics about love. The singer is completely obsessed with someone. He wakes up thinking about them and sings about them "Și zi și noapte" (Day and night). He's written a whole song about his feelings, a "Melodia mea de dor" (My song of longing) which he claims everyone loves.

But there's a big problem: the person he's singing to is ignoring him! He complains, "Nu răspunzi la SMS / Eu îți scriu atât de des" (You don't answer my SMS / I write to you so often). He admits he might have messed up, wondering, "Poate m-am purtat urât" (Maybe I behaved badly), but he's still all-in. The chorus is where the drama really peaks. He says he's "Mă înec în ochii tăi" (drowning in your eyes) and that this person is an "înger pe Pământ" (an angel on Earth). It's a fun, slightly desperate love song you can't help but dance to.
