“Bolnavi Amândoi” (which means “Sick Together”) paints the portrait of two lovers who could not be more different: he is the rebellious “golan,” she is the well-behaved “cuminte.” Yet once they collide, the outside world fades. Friends forget them, rules no longer matter and their shared “illness” is a feverish love that flips between passion and self-destruction. Irina Rimes sings of secret phone calls, late-night lyrics scribbled “printre foi” (among pages) and the strange comfort they find in each other’s chaos, even though they admit the relationship is “toxică.”
The song’s heartbeat is that push-and-pull: distance versus closeness, freedom versus dependence. They promise not to tell “nimănui” (anyone) what hurts, choosing instead to hide in a private universe where pain, poetry and affection merge. Irina’s intimate vocals underline the bittersweet truth: sometimes the bonds that feel like chains are also the very ties that keep us standing. “Bolnavi Amândoi” is a confession that love can be messy, co-dependent and unpredictable—yet irresistibly alive.
