Lyrics[]
Cântec de-ar fi viața mea
Vesel, trist, tot l-aș cânta
Nu aș rata nicio notă
Râu de-ar fi, l-aș înota
Pan’ la mare l-aș urma
Nu m-aș opri niciodată
Știi că
Viața n-are buton de rewind să
Poți să întorci ce-ai pierdut
Nu poți nici să o pui pe pauză
Când nu știi ce-i de făcut
Dacă mâine noaptea n-ar mai avea vreo stea
Dacă întruna vântul spre mine ar sufla
Tu ai fi motivul, tu ai fi motivul să pot
Să pot s-o iau de la capăt
Dacă mâine cerul ar fi prea plin de nori
Dacă nicio raza nu m-ar atinge-n zori
Tu ai fi motivul, tu ai fi motivul să pot
Să pot s-o iau de la capăt
Aș zbura chiar și-o noapte-ntreagă
Spre zorii-n care ai fi tu
Ploile n-ar putea să-nțeleagă
De ce nu cad când sunt tot ud
If the stars tomorrow no longer shine on us
If a strong wind blows me I will not make a fuss
You will be the reason, you will be the reason to start
To start all over again
If the sky clouds over, with darkness never gone
If the sun stays hidden, not waking in the dawn
You will be the reason, you will be the reason to start
To start all over again
To start all over again
To start all over again
To start all over again
Să pot s-o iau de la capăt
If my life was a song
Happy, sad, I would still sing it
I wouldn’t miss a note
If it was a river, I would swim
I would follow it to the sea
I would never stop
Remember
Life doesn’t have a rewind button to
Be able to regain what you have lost
You can’t even put it on pause
When you don’t know what to do
If tomorrow night is without a star
If the wind kept blowing towards me
You are the reason; you are the reason to be able
To be able to start from the beginning
If tomorrow the sky was full of clouds
If no sun ray touches me in the morning
You are the reason; you are the reason to be able
To be able to start from the beginning
I would fly all night long
Towards the morning, if it was you
The rain wouldn’t be able to understand
Why I am wet without any raindrops
If the stars tomorrow no longer shine on us
If a strong wind takes me and I will turn to dust
You will be the reason, you will be the reason to start
To start all over again
If the sky clouds over, with darkness never gone
If the sun stays hidden, not waking in the dawn
You will be the reason, you will be the reason to start
To start all over again
To start all over again
To start all over again
To start all over again
To be able to start from the beginning
Trivia[]
- The song was performed entirely in Romanian during the national final, but when Voltaj announced that they would perform "De la capăt" entirely in English (as "All Over Again") at the contest, the backlash was so great they instead opted to perform a bilingual version and the song was renamed "De la capăt (All Over Again)". However, the official album carries the English version.
