Intro

Before we were born

I asked you to choose my eye color

But our souls were young

And they never fell to Earth

All that I saw until then was the sky

So you chose blue

Verse 1

Thoughts left through the wind

Like the letters in the bottle carried by the wave

Beaten by time and heartbroken

I'm still waiting to reach the shore

You waited for me to tell you how I feel

But eternity doesn't have time

So I chose to love you

Like a simple ordinary mortal

Prechorus 1

I thought that I'll die of thirst

Waiting for my soulmate

But we promised that we will meet again, long ago

Or: But we promised to each other that we would see each other again, long ago

Before we were born

Chorus 1

Maybe, maybe

The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind

Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again

And we will learn to be happy

Admiring two sunrises a day

Verse 2

Among billions of lights and people

I know that you will come out now in my path

I know that we will find each other sometime

Only the soul has one language

The order of the words here are mixed up for artistic reasons. Usually it would be: Doar sufletul are o limbă

I'm searching for a purpose in my life

In your eyes a shelter

Lost in memories in which I still haven't been

Prechorus 2

I thought that I'll die of thirst

Waiting for my soulmate

But we promised that we will meet again, long ago

Before we were born

Chorus 2

Maybe, maybe

The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind

Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again

And we will learn to be happy

Admiring two sunrises a day

Chorus 3

Maybe, maybe

The sunset is only the sunrise seen from behind

Maybe, maybe, in another life we will find each other again

And we will learn to be happy

Admiring two sunrises a day

SONG MEANING

Înainte Să Ne Fi Născut feels like opening a time-worn bottle that carries a love letter written before life itself began. The Motans imagines two unborn souls floating in an endless sky, choosing eye colors and promising to meet again on Earth. That poetic image of picking “albastru” (blue) eyes sets the tone for a dreamy pop track about destiny, reincarnation, and the ache of separation. Every line drifts like a message in a bottle, reminding us that even the most fragile vows can outlive space and time.

Fast-forward to mortal life: the narrator wanders through crowds and city lights, thirsty for the soulmate he was certain would arrive. Yet hope never fades. If a sunset might simply be a sunrise viewed from the other side, then endings can become beginnings, and the lovers may reunite in this life or the next. The song turns longing into optimism, inviting listeners to picture a future where two people admire “două răsărituri pe zi” (two sunrises a day) and finally learn what true happiness sounds like.
