Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to fall in love
Don't want to waste my time
I'm running out of luck
Don't try to find me (woah)
(Woah)
Don't try to find me (woah)

Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to say good
Don't want to say goodbye bye bye
Don't want to say good
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to say good
Don't want to say goodbye bye
Don't want to say good
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to say good
Don't want to say goodbye bye
Don't want to say good
Bye bye bye bye
When I looked in your eyes
I knew it was time
I didn't wanna say it
But it was time to say goodbye
Time to say good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to G. Zamfir's song "Time to Say Goodbye" appear to depict a conversation between two people who have just met in a club. The singer tells the woman not to say goodbye, asking her to stick around for a while and to make love for the night instead of trying to become his wife. He seems to be infatuated with the woman's style and is enjoying their conversation, staying with her for hours in the club. It seems as though they may have taken an X pill (referring to MDMA) and are experiencing love signs, but there are no hallucinations.


The lyrics overall seem to be describing a temporary, passionate encounter rather than a long-term relationship. The singer is not interested in committing to the woman but wants to enjoy the moment with her. The chorus repeats the words "Don't say goodbye, I need you right now. Just stick around for a while. Don't wanna wife, let's make love for the night. Will that calm you down?" conveying the message that the singer wants her to stay a little longer and continue their physical encounter.

Don't say goodbye
Please don't leave me now


I need you right now
I require your presence immediately


Just stick around for a while
Stay here with me for a short time


Don't wanna wife
I'm not looking for a committed relationship


Let's make love for the night
Let's have a physical relationship just for tonight


Will that calm you down
Would that help you relax?


I kinda dig her style
I quite like her mannerisms and appearance


We been talking for an hour
We've been conversing for sixty minutes


Met in this club

Drinking a type of cognac called Hennessy


Might of took an X pill
We may have consumed a type of illicit substance


No hallucinations
Despite consuming a substance, we are not experiencing delusions


But we keep seeing love signs
However, we keep observing symbols associated with affection


I can get it wetter
I can make your body more sexually aroused


You are something special
You are a unique and remarkable person


If it's always like this
If our relationship is consistently enjoyable


Then we can be forever
Perhaps we can have a long-lasting relationship

I feel as if I'm already in heaven when I listen to Time to Say Goodbye.  So peaceful and comforting.  All his songs are remarkable and tranquil to listen to.  This is my favorite.  God has surely blessed him with a special gift to share with the world.
