Nu Știi Tu Să Fii Bărbat Lyrics in English Irina Rimes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nu Știi Tu Să Fii Bărbat by Irina Rimes from Romanian to English.
Verse 1
Eu mă deschid, tu mă închizi
I open up, you shut me down
Eu vreau să fug, tu iar mă prinzi
I wanna run, you grab me again
Eu vreau să strig, tu-mi spui să tac
I wanna scream, you tell me to shut up
De ce o fac?
Why do I do it?
Eu mă arunc, ca un copil
I throw myself, like a kid
Eu te ascult, cuminte umil
I listen to you, quiet and humble
De ce o fac?
Why do I do it?
De ce nu plec, de ce mă complac?
Why don't I leave, why do I give in?
Prechorus 1
Ți-am dat puterea asupra mea
I gave you power over me
Eu sunt puternică dar nu așa, dar nu acum
I'm strong but not like this, not now
Când tre' s-o spun
When I gotta say it
Cum să ți-o spun?
How do I tell you?
Chorus 1
Nu știi tu să fii bărbat pentru o fată
You don't know how to be a man for a girl
Nici măcar n-ai încercat, măcar o dată
You didn't even try, not even once
Argumentul meu e mut, e doar pentru mine
My argument is mute, it's only for me
Nu știi tu să fii bărbat și nu te-nvață nimeni
You don't know how to be a man and nobody teaches you
Verse 2
Nu-ți place ce spun
You don't like what I say
Nu-ți place cum cânt
You don't like how I sing
Nici cum mă-mbrac, nici cum mă simt
Nor how I dress, nor how I feel
Nu-ți place nimic!
You like nothing!
De ce mă mai ții, la degetul mic?
Why do you still keep me wrapped around your little finger?
Ba mă iubești, ba mă urăști
Now you love me, now you hate me
Când ești aici
When you're here
Când nu mai ești
When you're gone
De ce mă ții, ce tragi de timp?
Why keep me, why stall?
Prechorus 2
Ți-am dat puterea asupra mea
I gave you power over me
Eu sunt puternică dar nu așa, dar nu acum
I'm strong but not like this, not now
Când tre' s-o spun
When I gotta say it
Cum să ți-o spun?
How do I tell you?
Chorus 2
Nu știi tu să fii bărbat pentru o fată
You don't know how to be a man for a girl
Nici măcar n-ai încercat, măcar o dată
You didn't even try, not even once
Argumentul meu e mut, e doar pentru mine
My argument is mute, it's only for me
Nu știi tu să fii bărbat și nu te-nvață nimeni
You don't know how to be a man and nobody teaches you

SONG MEANING

Irina Rimes turns heartbreak into a power lesson. In this song she pictures a relationship that feels like a tug of war: every time she opens up, he shuts her down; when she wants to run, he pulls her back. The lyrics create a playful yet painful list of contrasts that expose a partner who controls, criticizes and confuses. Irina’s voice swings between child-like hope and bold frustration, making us feel the dizzy mix of affection and anger she experiences.

The chorus lands like a verdict: “Nu știi tu să fii bărbat pentru o fat㔓You don’t know how to be a man for a girl.” It is not just an insult, but a wake-up call. She realizes she has handed him her power, even though she is strong on her own. With catchy repetition and sharp irony she shows how easy it is to stay in a comfort zone that actually hurts. The song becomes a catchy manifesto for self-respect, reminding listeners that real love lifts you up instead of locking you in.
