The title uses heavy emotional anchors common in the Romanian language:
The phrase "" (How much I care for you, my life) is a well-known line from several Romanian songs, most notably the popular folk and manele track by Ionela Pascu .
The lyrics emphasize that true happiness is difficult to find ( Cu greu fericirea o gasesti ). The "paper" or story within the song is one of persistence; the narrator finds refuge in the partner's soul, suggesting that the partner is a source of joy amidst "troubles" ( Tu faci din necazuri bucurii ).
