Intro
Before we were born
I asked you to choose my eye color
But our souls were young
And they never fell to Earth
All that I saw until then was the sky
So you chose blue
Verse 1
Thoughts left through the wind
Like the letters in the bottle carried by the wave
Beaten by time and heartbroken
I'm still waiting to reach the shore
You waited for me to tell you how I feel
But eternity doesn't have time
So I chose to love you
Like a simple ordinary mortal
Prechorus 1
I thought that I'll die of thirst
Waiting for my soulmate
But we promised that we will meet again, long ago
Or: But we promised to each other that we would see each other again, long ago
Before we were born
Chorus 1
Maybe, maybe
The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind
Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again
And we will learn to be happy
Admiring two sunrises a day
Verse 2
Among billions of lights and people
I know that you will come out now in my path
I know that we will find each other sometime
Only the soul has one language
The order of the words here are mixed up for artistic reasons. Usually it would be: Doar sufletul are o limbă
I'm searching for a purpose in my life
In your eyes a shelter
Lost in memories in which I still haven't been
Prechorus 2
I thought that I'll die of thirst
Waiting for my soulmate
But we promised that we will meet again, long ago
Before we were born
Chorus 2
Maybe, maybe
The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind
Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again
And we will learn to be happy
Admiring two sunrises a day
Chorus 3
Maybe, maybe
The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind
Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again
And we will learn to be happy
Admiring two sunrises a day

SONG MEANING

Înainte Să Ne Fi Născut feels like opening a time-worn bottle that carries a love letter written before life itself began. The Motans imagines two unborn souls floating in an endless sky, choosing eye colors and promising to meet again on Earth. That poetic image of picking “albastru” (blue) eyes sets the tone for a dreamy pop track about destiny, reincarnation, and the ache of separation. Every line drifts like a message in a bottle, reminding us that even the most fragile vows can outlive space and time.

Fast-forward to mortal life: the narrator wanders through crowds and city lights, thirsty for the soulmate he was certain would arrive. Yet hope never fades. If a sunset might simply be a sunrise viewed from the other side, then endings can become beginnings, and the lovers may reunite in this life or the next. The song turns longing into optimism, inviting listeners to picture a future where two people admire “două răsărituri pe zi” (two sunrises a day) and finally learn what true happiness sounds like.
