Recită means "recites," an action you'd normally associate with a poem or a speech.
In this song, titled "POEM," the artist uses this word in a beautifully metaphorical way: "Inima te recită fără cuvinte" (The heart recites you without words). This line suggests a love so deep and innate that it's known by heart, expressed purely through feeling rather than language. It's the central, most poetic image of the song.
Moldovan artist The Motans teams up with fellow Moldovan singer Irina Rimes for "POEM", an upbeat pop track all about diving headfirst into love without an instruction manual. The singer offers to guide a new partner through whatever comes next, asking them to take that first bold step "fără hartă, fără compas" ("without a map, without a compass"). It is a sweet, direct invitation to leave the past behind and walk together into the unknown. The lyrics use common, down-to-earth proverbs to explain why going through tough times is necessary: "Unde nu cad ploile, nu au cum să crească flori" ("Where no rain falls, flowers cannot grow"). The song treats hardships as natural; without getting lost in the world first, the singer notes, their paths never would have crossed.
The real centerpiece of the song is the chorus, where love turns into art: "Fii poezie-n viața mea / Inima te recită fără cuvinte" ("Be poetry in my life / My heart recites you without words"). That line is unapologetically romantic. Instead of complicated metaphors, the track sticks to pure devotion, asking the partner to hold onto falling stars and guard a vulnerable heart ("Inima îți aparține / Tu să ai grijă de ea" ["The heart belongs to you / Take good care of it"]). It is warm, simple, and encourages you to keep your pace moving forward side by side.
