Verse 1

Listen to my voice how it sings to you, sings to you

Inside me a fight is born again, a fight

It hurts and I don't want to lie

Today I don't feel you anymore

All the memories with us I buried

I've also forgotten your face since you left

I kept only the flowers but I didn't water them anymore

Ever since you left

Chorus 1

I call you, I call you, I call you

But you don't hear anything

You're far, far away

I lie to myself, lie to myself, lie to myself

And I don't let myself feel, feel, feel

I call you, I call you, I call you

But you don't hear anything

You're far, far away

I lie to myself, lie to myself, lie to myself

And I don't let myself feel, feel, feel

Verse 2

Know that you won't see me crying anymore from now on

I hide the dissatisfaction in my mind

And all the nights when you were here

When I fell and I was waiting for you to lift me up

Even if you were to come back, I don't want you anymore

The glasses of wine now I won't drink them anymore

Even if I miss you sometimes

Or: Even if I feel a longing

I don't look back at them

Chorus 2

I call you, I call you, I call you

But you don't hear anything

You're far, far away

I lie to myself, lie to myself, lie to myself

And I don't let myself feel, feel, feel

I call you, I call you, I call you

But you don't hear anything

You're far, far away

I lie to myself, lie to myself, lie to myself

And I don't let myself feel, feel, feel

SONG MEANING

“Te Strig” is a heartfelt pop ballad where Romanian singer Ioana Ignat turns personal heartbreak into a powerful sing-along. The title means “I Call You”, and throughout the song she literally cries out for a lost lover who no longer hears her. We hear images of buried memories, unwatered flowers and empty wine glasses, painting a vivid scene of someone fighting the tug-of-war between longing and letting go.

Despite the repeated call—“Te strig, te strig, te strig” (I call you, I call you, I call you)—the chorus shows that he is “departe” (far away). So she makes a promise to herself: no more tears, no more late-night wine, no more looking back. The song’s upbeat melody contrasts with its bittersweet lyrics, turning pain into empowerment and inviting listeners to sing out their own goodbyes while dancing to a catchy pop groove.
