Verse 1

I don't accept geometry in love

A love triangle, walking on a thin thread

And I'm not afraid to fall, I'm afraid that you might fall

You can't drown bitterness in wine for too long

But time goes by and I want to see love passing too

To see love passing too

Prechorus 1

But I have a bag full of dreams

I'm afraid of the dark, but I run through streets with the lanterns off

So nobody sees me

From cried-out love

But I have a bag full of dreams

I'm afraid of the dark, but I run through streets with the lanterns off

So nobody sees me

From cried-out love

Chorus 1

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Verse 2

It's not pain but hope that kills me

And I try to forget every evening

And I'm not afraid to lose, I'm afraid that you might lose

I swear I won't call him again, even if I'm desperate

Just like I used to do every time

I smile now only because you're watching me

Prechorus 2

But I have a bag full of dreams

I'm afraid of the dark, but I run through streets with the lanterns off

So nobody sees me

From cried-out love

But I have a bag full of dreams

I'm afraid of the dark, but I run through streets with the lanterns off

So nobody sees me

From cried-out love

Chorus 2

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Bridge

I don't cry now

No, no, no, no, no, no

Bridge

I've had enough

No, no, no, no, no, no

Bridge

And I will forget his love

And I will drink

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this too

Yes, mom, I'm drunk

Because otherwise I can't forget him

And I don't need your forgiveness

Don't tell me you weren't like this once too

geometria — geometry

Geometria translates to "geometry". It's an unexpected and intriguing word to find in a pop song about love and heartbreak.

In the lyrics, Delia sings, "Eu nu accept geometria în iubire / Triunghi în dragoste, plimbări pe-o ață subțire" (I don't accept geometry in love / Triangle in love, walks on a thin thread). She uses geometry, specifically the concept of a triangle, as a metaphor for a love triangle or a complicated, unstable relationship, making it a unique and memorable way to express her feelings.

This song is a brutally honest phone call to a mother after a rough night. Delia lays it all out, confessing, "Da, mamă, sunt beată" (Yes, mom, I'm drunk) because it's the only way she can forget a painful breakup. She's not looking for forgiveness, either. Instead, she challenges her mom, asking, "Nu-mi spune că n-ai fost și tu așa, cândva" (Don't tell me you weren't like this once).

The whole song is full of these sharp, relatable moments. She rejects a love triangle, calling it "geometria în iubire" (geometry in love), and describes the pain of holding on. It's not the sadness that's getting to her, but the hope: "Nu durerea, ci speranța mă omoară" (Not the pain, but the hope is killing me). She tries to hide her tears, running on streets with the lights out so no one can see her crying, but she can't hide it from her mom.
