Verse 1

We met, weirdly

on the first night of Untold

I noticed your gaze

while standing in line for a hotdog

You looked mainstream

and I was all nostalgia

You should know that, in time

I got to understand its magic

I asked nobody and sought no permission

I always learned on the go

and always went where I wanted

You should know life gives us signs along our road

and today it pushed me to tell you

Chorus 1

Let's live like

today’s the last night

Tomorrow’s so far away

when you tell me you’re mine

Let’s live every second

like it’s the last night

Tomorrow’s so far away

when you tell me you’re mine

Postchorus 1

when you tell me you’re mine, a-a-a

Verse 2

I was filthy up to my ears

with confetti and mud

but I acted like that’s just me

every single Thursday

I didn't think too much

and I worked up the nerve to smile at you

I had a plan but I also felt

that I had to hurry

Chorus 2

Let's live like

today’s the last night

Tomorrow’s so far away

when you tell me you’re mine

Let’s live every second

like it’s the last night

Tomorrow’s so far away

when you tell me you’re mine

Postchorus 2

when you tell me you’re mine, a-a-a

when you tell me you're mine

ciudat — strange

Ciudat means "strange" or "odd." It's an intriguing word because it immediately sets a unique tone for the song's narrative.

The song begins with the line, "Ne-am cunoscut, ciudat" (We met, strangely), which piques curiosity. It suggests an unusual or unexpected beginning to a relationship, making the listener wonder about the circumstances and the story that unfolds from this peculiar encounter.

Who says romance needs candles and a fancy dinner? In "A Mea" (Mine), Moldovan artist The Motans tells the story of falling head over heels in the most chaotic place possible: waiting in line for a hot dog on the first night of the massive Romanian music festival Untold ("În prima seară de untold / Ți-am observat privirea / Stând la coadă după un hotdog" [On the first night of Untold / I noticed your gaze / Standing in line for a hot dog]). He contrasts their festival vibes right away, noting she had a modern "mainstream" look while he carried a retro "nostalgia" stage vibe, covered up to his ears in mud and confetti ("Eram murdar pân' la urechi / De confetti și de noroi"). Even while looking a mess, he acts like this is his normal Thursday routine ("Dar mă țineam de parcă-s eu / Așa în fiecare joi").

That messy, spontaneous encounter turns into an urgent rush to seize the moment. The driving chorus throws caution to the wind with the plea: "Hai să trăim așa de parcă / Astăzi e ultima noapte" [Let's live like tonight is the last night]. When she says she is his ("Când îmi spui că ești a mea"), tomorrow feels a million miles away. It is an honest, fun pop anthem about following sudden signs from life, taking the leap to smile at a stranger, and making festival memories feel like timeless magic.
