Recording of their debut, Corabia Nebunilor (Madmen's Ship), begins in winter 2004, with a video being shot for the eponymous track. In summer 2005, however, George suffers a severe car accident and the band is put on hold for several months. Following his recovery, Travka's debut album is finally released in December, gathering very positive reviews.
The band continued playing various gigs and festivals around the country, attracting more and more fans with their eccentric approach and often cryptic lyrics, quickly becoming a household name in Romanian rock music. It is not, however, until 2007 that the band records and, later that year, releases their sophomore album: Vreau sa simt Praga (I Want to Feel Prague). This release causes quite a stir in the media, being the first Romanian album freely available over the Internet under a Creative Commons license.
After extensive touring to support their latest release, in August 2008 Travka announced its break-up. Three of the members went on to establish the electronical trio Discoballs Project.
On March 7th 2010, Travka announced their reunion, in the original line-up. They held their last concert in 2017, celebrating their 15th anniversary.

Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in visele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apele tale
Caut orase noi sa-mi verific prudența
Mă bucur de clipele tale
îmi verific esența
Papapapapa...
Papapapapa.
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apele tale
Caut orase noi sa-mi verific prudența
Te iubesc, mă retrag, mă retrag
Verifica absența
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in oasele tale
Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt in apelele tale
Caut orașe noi să-mi verific prudența
Mă bucur de clipele tale
îmi verific esența

The lyrics of Travka's song "ceva mi s-a rupt" talk about feeling a deep connection with someone and how it seems as though a part of them has broken inside the other person's bones, waters, and dreams. The repetition of "Simt cum ceva mi s-a rupt" highlights the intensity of this feeling. The singer seems to be exploring new places to test his or her caution, perhaps as a way to distract from this strong bond that has developed. However, the singer still finds joy in being with the other person and reflects on the importance of verifying his or her own essence.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey emotions, aptly describing how the singer feels the other person's pain and disappointment as his or her own. It's not entirely clear what this bond represents, but it's a powerful force that the singer can't escape from. The final line, "Te iubesc, mă retrag, mă retrag, Verifica absența," suggests that the singer is deeply in love with this person but needs to step away to ensure that they don't become too dependent on each other. There's a sense of longing and sadness in these lyrics, but also of hope and self-discovery.
Some possible interpretations of this song could be about the difficulty of staying emotionally independent in a relationship, the feeling of being completely consumed by love, or the fear of losing oneself in the intensity of another person's emotions. Regardless, the lyrics are beautifully written and paint a powerful picture of the complexities of human connection.

Nu ma mai satur de piesa asta. Am descoperit-o acum jumatate de an, cand am avut privilegiul sa vad Travka intr-un concert, si de fiecare data cand o ascult ma loveste ca si cum n-as fi ascultat-o niciodata inainte. Ma debusoleaza efectul pe care il are asupra mea. Efectiv simt cum mi se rupe ceva... probabil pelicula subtire care desparte fiinta rationala de maniaca interioara.
