Ever dreamed so vividly that the line between fantasy and reality started to blur? In “Zburătorul,” Romanian singer EMAA dives into that hazy twilight where love feels magical yet slips through your fingers. The title alludes to the zburător from Romanian folklore, a seductive spirit that visits people in their sleep. EMAA sings from the viewpoint of someone who once believed this elusive lover was real, only to watch the illusion dissolve like “oceans that shatter and fall into emptiness.”
The lyrics swirl with questions: Was I just like everyone else? Why did you forget me? As memories fade, she realizes the relationship was “just my invention,” a beautiful story projected onto someone who could never stay. The song’s mix of yearning and awakening captures that bittersweet moment when you stop chasing a dream yet still whisper, “Carry me with you one more time.” It is a modern pop ballad steeped in myth, heartache and the universal ache of letting go of what never truly existed.
