Chorus 1
Do you know why the guitars cry?
They were hurt by the memories
You, love, tell them
What was isn't lost
Verse 1
Why do the guitars cry?
Only the lanterns know
The bitter strings
Strune = strings. Strunele = the strings
What really did they lose?
The word 'oare' refers to a wondering state, such as 'I wonder what they lost'
The girls walk on the street
The fancy girls
They look at me and shout after me
You don't respond to my SMS
Prechorus 1
On the streets floats only love
Dragoste and iubire both mean love. Dragoste = romantic love. Iubire = all types of love
The night is bitter without her
She calls calls someone else
My guitar cries
Mea is my / mine for feminine nouns, such as guitar. Meu is my / mine for masculine nouns.
Chorus 2

The crazy strings
You, love, tell them
What was isn't lost

When the sun rises
The birds are singing
About my pain

The strings cry at night
The crazy strings
You, love, tell them
What was isn't lost
Prechorus 3
On the streets floats only love
The night is bitter without her
She calls calls someone else
My guitar cries
Do you know why the guitars cry?
They were hurt by the memories
You, love, tell them
What happened wasn't lost
The strings cry at night
The crazy strings
You, love, tell them
What was isn't lost

SONG MEANING

Get ready to swing your hips while your heart strings tingle. In “De Ce Plâng Chitarele” O-Zone turns the dance floor into a moonlit boulevard where even the guitars shed tears. The singer roams the city, surrounded by twinkling streetlights and flirty girls, yet his mind is glued to one absent lover. Each unanswered text, each echo of her name, pricks the memories that vibrate through the “strunele nebunele” – the crazy strings – making the instruments cry out in pain.

Despite the upbeat beat, the lyrics paint a bittersweet picture: love still floats through the streets, but night feels bitter without her. The guitars beg for reassurance that what once was real has not been lost forever. It is a catchy reminder that music can keep memories alive, letting us dance away the sorrow while the melody does the weeping for us.
