Nonetheless, his first album was released only in 1984 at Electrecord, the only Romanian music publisher during the Communist regime. It is called "Interioare" (1984) / "Interiors" (1985). Soon followed a few country covers, released in 1986, another album, called "Rock'n'Roll" (1987), "Despre distanțe" (1988), and "Trei oglinzi" (1989). He managed to create the image of a disident singer-songwriter who opposed the Communist dictatorship of the period with smart lyrics and a funny personality, such as, following the fall of Communism in December 1989, his "Interzis" album ("Forbidden" 1990), which contained all the forbidden songs during the previous years, summoned him to a VIP status. Andrieș remained nonetheless the same, he continued to enjoy both architecture, music, and painting. He is also famous for playing in more than 3100 concerts during his activity. Along his long career he coquetted with: voice, guitar, piano and harmonica.
His post-Communist era albums bear witness of many experiments, from jazz sounds to Bob Dylan covers, and a soft-rock approach that led to the ultimate definition of a particular Alexandru Andrieș style.
Cea mai frumoasa zi
Alexandru Andries Lyrics

Cea mai frumoasa zi
Ar fi daca m-ai putea minti
Ai da ceasul inapoi
Ai fierbe doua oua moi
Mi-ai spune ca-n casa suntem doar noi
Tacerea te-ar ajuta
Sa scapi de intrebarea mea
Cea mai grea
Cand seara s-ar face gri
Nu te-ai mai putea stapani
Din baie la telefon,ai vorbi
Cu glasul intunecat
Cu aerul imbufnat
Orice numai sa ma vezi plecat
Si atunci te-ntreb
Mai stii?
Cea mai frumoasa zi
A fost la inceput
Cand nu ma puteai minti...
The song "Cea mai frumoasa zi" by Alexandru Andries is a poignant reflection on the nature of memory and truth. The singer longs to relive what he considers to be the most beautiful day of his life, but in doing so, he acknowledges that it was built on a lie. He imagines his lover lying to him, cooking him breakfast, and basking in the intimacy of their relationship, but ultimately he recognizes that he cannot go back to that moment because it was never as idyllic as he imagined it to be. As the night falls and reality begins to set in, he imagines his lover on the phone, conspiring against him, and trying to push him away. He confronts her with the truth, and in a moment of vulnerability, asks her if she remembers the day he so cherishes - knowing full well that it was built on sand.
The lyrics of "Cea mai frumoasa zi" are rich with symbolism and metaphor. The repeated reference to eggs serves as a metaphor for the fragility of the singer's relationship. The mention of "intrebarea mea" - the question that weighs so heavily on him - is never explicitly stated, but is instead left up to interpretation. The use of the phrase "glasul intunecat" and "aerul imbufnat" conjures up an image of the lover as manipulative and conniving, deepening the sense of betrayal and heartbreak that suffuses the song.
Overall, "Cea mai frumoasa zi" is a poignant and deeply introspective song that speaks to the often complex and fraught nature of memory and human relationships. It is a work that invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and experiences, and to grapple with the many difficult emotions that come with love and loss.

The most beautiful day
Ar fi daca m-ai putea minti
It would be if you could lie to me
Ai da ceasul inapoi
You would turn back the clock
Ai fierbe doua oua moi
You would boil two soft eggs
Mi-ai spune ca-n casa suntem doar noi
You would say that it's just the two of us in the house
Tacerea te-ar ajuta
Silence would help you
Sa scapi de intrebarea mea
To avoid my question
Din toate intrebarile
Of all the questions
Cea mai grea
The hardest one
Cand seara s-ar face gri
When the evening turns gray
Nu te-ai mai putea stapani
You wouldn't be able to control yourself
Din baie la telefon,ai vorbi
You would talk on the phone from the bathroom
Cu glasul intunecat
With a dark voice
Cu aerul imbufnat
With an arrogant air
Orice numai sa ma vezi plecat
Anything just to see me gone
Si atunci te-ntreb
And then I ask you
Mai stii?
Do you still remember?

A way to prolong the most beautiful day
Would be if you could lie to me.
We would set the clock back, you'd make two soft boiled eggs,
You would tell me it's just us in the house.
The silence would help you escape my question;
The hardest of all questions.
When dusk would get gray,
You couldn't help yourself,
In the bathroom you'd be speaking on the phone.
With a dark voice, in a sulky mood,
Anything just to see me leave.
And then I ask you: remember the most beautiful day?
It was in the beginning, when you couldn't lie to me.
It's not a really poetic translation, but it is basically what is being said in the song

Aceasta melodie are o singura problema:dureaza doar doua minute

Toate cantecele lui sunt scurte...
@PaulStanila
E o melodie scurta, adevarat, dar nici nu era nevoie de mai mult. Sunt scriitori care scriu carti de sute de pagini si scriitori care scriu doar o amarata de suta, dar te fascineaza. E ca un "Razboi si pace" vs "Oameni si Soareci", daca vreti. Andries a spus "totul" in doar doua minute. Orice cuvant in plus era inutil.

Mi-aș fi dorit ca această piesă să țină 20 de minute, e mult prea frumoasă.
