: Roman Burlaca , known for his cinematic and evocative visual style.
The lyrics describe a chance encounter or a sudden memory of a former lover. Smiley uses the metaphor of a freshly cut tree—which looks alive at first but eventually dries up—to illustrate how feelings can wither until only a memory remains. Key themes include:
: Even though details like a dress or perfume are recognized, the person has changed so much they are now a "stranger".
: The lyrics express hugging someone familiar but "feeling nothing anymore" ( Dar nu mai simt nimic ).
