: Success is attributed to "great luck from God," a common trope in manele that reconciles material wealth with traditional spiritual beliefs. The Collaboration: Nek and Florin Salam
: The opening lines, "Nu ma uit la bani / Ca nu traiesc sute si mii de ani" (I don't look at the money / Because I won't live hundreds or thousands of years), set a tone of immediate gratification.
: The chorus— "Imi fac poftele imi fac nebuniile" (I satisfy my cravings, I do my crazy things)—uses the word nebunii (craziness/follies) not as a mental state, but as a metaphor for extravagant parties, luxury, and social dominance.
At its core, the song is a celebration of , wealth , and living in the moment . The lyrics revolve around the idea of spending money freely and enjoying life's pleasures without regret, a theme common in the "nouveau-riche" narrative of post-communist Romanian pop culture.
The Original Video was produced by and Nek Music , two of the biggest names in the Romanian music industry. Unlike more recent cinematic music videos, the original clip captures the aesthetic of the early 2010s—high-contrast lighting, luxury cars, and the artists performing directly to the camera, emphasizing their "valoare" (social value/status).
"Imi fac nebuniile" remains a staple at Romanian weddings and private parties, where manele music is often considered "obligatory". It paved the way for later Salam hits like "Saint Tropez," which followed a similar blueprint of celebrating the "boss" lifestyle. NEK SI FLORIN SALAM - IMI FAC NEBUNIILE [CLIP ORIGINAL]
: As both a performer and a producer, Nek was instrumental in the "modernization" of the genre. His production style incorporated synthesizers and electronic arrangements, moving manele toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound. Cultural Impact and the "Original Clip"
