Ține-mă minte Lyrics Translation – The Motans
Alexandru Turcu writes that love felt like a knife left in the chest. He asks the former lover to hold onto the bright moments before the end.
Zambeai Cu Pletele Pierdute-n VantYou smiled with your hair lost in the wind,
De Parca Imi Faceai DescantAs if you were casting a spell on me,
Pentru Cat De Fermecat EramFor how enchanted I was,
De Ochii TaiBy your eyes.
Dragostea A Fost Ca Un CutitLove was like a knife,
Trebuia S-o Lasi In Piept Un PicYou had to leave it in my chest for a bit.
Curge Primavara Mea Prin RaniMy springtime flows through the wounds,
Spune-mi Draga MeaTell me, my dear.
De Ce Te Temi?What are you afraid of?
Stii Cat De Fericit Ma Vedeam In Ochii TaiYou know how happy I saw myself in your eyes,
Din Ochii Tai SimteamFrom your eyes, I felt,
Ca Restul Lumii Nu Mai Are Loc In EiThat the rest of the world had no more room in them.
Doare Cat De Bine EraIt hurts how good it was,
Cand Ea In Soapte Imi SpuneaWhen she’d whisper to me,
Tine-ma Minte AsaRemember me like this,
Tine-ma Minte AsaRemember me like this.
Doare Cat De Bine EraIt hurts how good it was,
Cand Ea In Soapte Imi CantaWhen she’d sing to me in a whisper,
Cat De Dulce Si Mult Ma IubeaHow sweetly and how much she loved me,
Cand Lumea Era Doar A MeaWhen the world was only mine.
Eu Inca Ne Tin Minte AsaI still remember us like that.
Doare Cat De Bine EraIt hurts how good it was.
Iubire Doar Tu Stiai Sa-mi Dai AripiLove, only you knew how to give me wings,
Intr-o Lume Ce Se Duce NaibiiIn a world that’s going to h#ll.
Eram La Adapost In Ochii TaiI was sheltered in your eyes,
Credeam Ca Zbor Cand Te Uitai Spre CerI thought I was flying when you looked at the sky.
Credeam Ca Fericirea Mea E O FiaraI believed my happiness was a beast,
Venea Sa Doarma La Picioarele TaleIt would come to sleep at your feet.
Doar Ca Sa Iti Asculte LinisteaJust to listen to your silence.
Ai Fost Si Templu Si Cetatea MeaYou were both my temple and my fortress.
Stii Cat De Fericit Ma Vedeam In Ochii TaiYou know how happy I saw myself in your eyes,
Din Ochii Tai SimteamFrom your eyes, I felt,
Ca Restul Lumii Nu Mai Are Loc In EiThat the rest of the world had no more room in them.
Doare Cat De Bine EraIt hurts how good it was,
Cand Ea In Soapte Imi SpuneaWhen she’d whisper to me,
Tine-ma Minte AsaRemember me like this.
