Contra timp
Cabron | Cristi Minculescu • From “FENOMENAL”
Contra timp Lyrics Translation (from “FENOMENAL”)
Cristi Minculescu sings about a soul that aches without his father. He says the regret of unspoken words. He mentions the folly of fighting over pride while life slips away.
Da-Mi Doamne TimpLord, give me time.
Mai Da-Mi Un AnotimpGive me one more season.
Mai Da-Mi Inca O Fila-n Calendar Sa Pot Sa-l SchimbGive me one more calendar page so I can change things.
Da-Mi Doamne TimpLord, give me time.
Sa Pierd Sau Sa InvingWhether I lose or I win.
Nu Stiu Care Mi-e Limita Dar Vreau Sa O AtingI don’t know where my limit is, but I want to reach it.
Da-Mi Doamne TimpLord, give me time.
Ma Doare Sufletu’ Ca Nu-l Mai Am Pe TataMy soul aches because I don’t have my father anymore.
Ca Nu Putem Sa Mai Vorbim Una-altaBecause we can’t talk about this and that anymore.
Ca Nu I-am Zis Cate Aveam Sa-i ZicBecause I didn’t tell him how much I had to say.
Am Lasat Pe Alta Data Nestiind Ca N-aveam TimpI left it for another time, not knowing I had no time.
Imi Pare Rau Ca Ma Mai Cert Cu Oameni DragiI’m sorry that I still argue with loved ones.
Ne Certam Ca Prostii Cu Principii LargiWe fight like fools over broad principles.
In Loc Sa Dam Egou’ Deoparte Viata-i ScurtaInstead of putting our ego aside, life’s short.
Parca Prea Orice Il Simtim InsultaIt feels like we take almost anything as an insult.
Stii Imi Pare Rau De MulteYou know, I’m sorry for many things.
Si Imi Pare Rau De Multi Care Nu Mai Sunt Sa AsculteAnd I’m sorry for many who aren’t here to listen anymore.
De-aia Incerc Sa Ma Bucur De Familie Si FratiThat’s why I try to enjoy my family and brothers.
Si De Muzica Pe Care O Fac Si Va Fac Sa CantatiAnd the music I make that makes you sing along.
(Yeah) Din 2021 Totul S-a Schimbat(Yeah) everything’s changed since 2021.
Nu Mai E La Fel Nici Craciunul (nu Nu)Even Christmas isn’t the same (no, no).
Dar Eu Merg In Fata Ca NebunulBut I keep moving forward like a madman.
Da-Mi Doamne TimpLord, give me time.
Mai Da-Mi Un AnotimpGive me one more season.
Mai Da-Mi Inca O Fila-n Calendar Sa Pot Sa-l SchimbGive me one more calendar page so I can change things.

Atunci Cand Mergeam Noi Prin Tara Asa De MultBack when we used to travel through the country so much.
Bai Cabroane Oare Cine Ar Fi CrezutHey brother, who would’ve believed it?
C-o Sa Renuntam La Club O Sa Stam Cu Copiii MultiThat we’d give up the club and stay home with many kids.
Si Cand E Dezmat O Sa Ma Imbrac Sa FugAnd when it’s a wild party, I’ll just get dressed to run.
Timpul Trece (trece) De RepedeTime passes (passes) so fast.
Usor Pierzi Usor Ai IncredereYou lose easily, you trust easily.
Pierzi Tovarasi Pierzi FratiYou lose comrades, you lose brothers.
De-aia Ceilalti Nu Mai Sunt Asa De ImportantiThat’s why others aren’t so important anymore.
Cand N-ai Una De Un Leu Nu Mai Esti Pe ValWhen you don’t have a single cent, you’re not on top anymore.
Ca Prin Magie Toti DisparLike magic, they all disappear.
Familia E Cu Tine Bai Pana La FinalFamily’s with you, man, until the end.
De Multe Ori Tovarasia-i La CantarMany times, friendship is weighed on a scale.
Dumnezeu Nu Stie Ce O Sa Fie Nu VeziGod only knows what’ll happen, don’t you see?
Ce Se-ntampla Vrei DoveziYou want proof of what’s happening.
Totul E Un Nor De Fum Iti SpunEverything’s a cloud of smoke, I’m telling you.
Si Doar Intr-o Secunda Poate Sa Devina ScrumAnd in just a second, it can turn to ash.
Da-Mi Doamne TimpLord, give me time.
