Paranoia
Omul cu Sobolani Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am eu un plan ascuns
Vreau să aflu cine m-a tuns
Aveam un păr atât de frumos
Cădeau fetele după mine pe jos

Aseară au venit mai mulți prieteni la mine
Cu multe clame de lucruri de bine

Nu mai ești la modă deloc
Trage un fum, ia un loc
Uite ce bine îmi stă între stele
Întinde mâna, ajungem la ele

Băi, voi vreți să îmi furați ceva
Lasă telefonul, nu chema poliția
Unde îmi sunt banii, unde s-au dus anii
În care credeam în tot, în care credeam...?

Nu am un fir de păr
Cine oare mi-a făcut asta?
Cine mi-a înșelat iar nevasta?

Nu mai sunt la modă deloc
Trag iar un fum, iau un loc
Nu îmi stă bine deloc între stele
Vai de zilele mele

Băi, voi vreți să îmi furați ceva
Lasă telefonul, nu chema poliția
Unde îmi sunt banii, unde s-au dus anii
În care credeam în tot...?

Unde vă duceți acum?
Deja mă simt inutil și singur pe un drum
Unde ajungem acum?
Nu, eu nu sunt paranoic!
Eu nu sunt paranoic deloc!

Băi, voi vreți să îmi furați ceva
Lasă telefonul, nu chema poliția
Unde îmi sunt banii, unde s-au dus anii
În care credeam în tot, în care credeam...?

În care credeam...
