Iris & Felicia Filip - Baby
May 2009
Pay attention to 1:47... when Felicia starts singing and the audience erupts with delirious joy, you can hear and feel the grateful smile in her voice.
If IRIS composed this song in English, then millions more people could also enjoy its beauty. Here's my humble contribution to that goal, an attempt to translate the lyrics into English.
Lyrics - Romanian and English translation

| Cristi Minculescu: | |
| Cât am fost de singur, tu nu ai știut | How lonely I have felt, you really did not know |
| Ți-ai ferit mereu privirea, de la început | You have always looked away, right from the get go |
| Anii trec, și viața merge iar | Years pass, and life goes on again |
| Te caut zi și noapte, te caut, dar știu că e-n zadar | I look for you day and night, I'm looking, but I know it's in vain |
| Felicia Filip: | |
| Baby știu acum că mergi să întâlnești | Baby I know that you will meet face to face |
| Un străin ce te va duce, la casa din povești | With a stranger who will take you, to a fairy tale place |
| Ce noroc, ce mare nenoroc | What a blessing, and what a heavy bane |
| Că timpul stinge totul, că focul naște foc | That time is quenching all, that blaze engenders blaze |
| Both: | |
| Mai dă o zi din viața ta | From your life give one more day |
| Acelui om care spunea: | To the man who used to say: |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ca un răsărit de soare, după noaptea grea | As the sunrise always follows, on the darkest night |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ești unica iubire... Unica iubire, ultima... | You're the only love I had... Only love I had, the last... |
| Cristi: | |
| Umbra noastră se așterne în trecut | Our shadow's slowly falling, deep into the past |
| Nimeni nu era ca noi, când ne-am cunoscut | Nobody was like us, when we came across |
| Felicia: | |
| Ne vom preface, ca și pân-acum | We will pretend, just as we have so far |
| Că totul este bine, dar noi vom fi doar fum | That everything is well, but we will be just fog |
| Both: | |
| Mai dă o zi din viața ta | From your life give one more day |
| Acelui om care spunea: | To the man who used to say: |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ca un răsărit de soare, după noaptea grea | As the sunrise always follows, on the darkest night |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ești unica iubire... Unica iubire | You're the only love I had... Only love I had... |
| Cristi: | |
| E toamnă-n viața mea totul este scrum | It's autumn in my life everything is ash |
| știam că vei pleca dar lasă-mă să-ți spun: | I knew that you would leave but let me tell you thus: |
| Both: | |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ca un răsărit de soare, după noaptea grea | As the sunrise always follows, on the darkest night |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ca un răsărit de soare, după noaptea grea | As the sunrise always follows, on the darkest night |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ești unica iubire... Unica iubire | You're the only love I had... Only love I had... |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ca un răsărit de soare, după noaptea grea | As the sunrise always follows, on the darkest night |
| Baby, baby, baby, tu vei fi a mea | Baby, baby, baby, you'll be only mine |
| Ești unica iubire... Unica iubire, ultima... | You're the only love I had... Only love I had, the last... |
| Cristi: | |
| Tu vei fi a mea... ! | You'll be only mine... ! |
