Chorus 1
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Lit: 'Over my leg', is an idiom meaning 'making a mockery'
Letting me to wither away with longing
Forgetting me so easily
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Letting me fall into emptiness
Forgetting me so easily
Verse 1
The mirror doesn't want to recognize me
Hope no longer enters my lungs
You hurriedly passed through my life and
You pulled me out by the roots
With eyes thirsty for you
Lost in sleepless dreams
I'm the one condemned by the question
What love does to a person
Chorus 2
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Letting me to wither away with longing
Forgetting me so easily
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Letting me fall into emptiness
Forgetting me so easily
Verse 2
I didn't ask you to love me strongly
I won't turn my gaze back
I try not to let my thoughts go there
Knowing that there is no us
And if the past will ask you
Tell it that I was just a passerby
Who tried to show you
What love does to a person
Chorus 3
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Letting me to wither away with longing
Forgetting me so easily
You killed me accidentally
Making a mockery of my love
Letting me fall into emptiness
Forgetting me so easily

SONG MEANING

"Întâmplător" (which translates to "By Accident") is The Motans’ bittersweet pop confession about a love that hits like a stray bullet. In vivid, almost cinematic images, the Moldovan artist describes how a hurried, careless romance “kills” him emotionally: his reflection refuses to recognize him, hope no longer fills his lungs, and he is left free-falling into a void of longing. The chorus repeats like a broken record, underscoring how randomly yet completely this heartbreak strikes.

Beneath the melancholy, there is a quiet resilience. The narrator admits he never asked for a grand, forceful love and now refuses to look back, aware that “there is no us.” Even so, he wants the past to remember him as someone who simply tried to show what love can do to a person—both the soaring highs and the devastating lows. With its catchy melody and poetic Romanian lyrics, the song is a masterclass in turning personal heartache into something listeners can dance to while still feeling every word.
