Top Comments of this video!! :3
This song references the Romanian folk ballad / poem "Miorița" (The Little Ewe Lamb). It tells the story of a shepherd who is about to be killed by two other shepherds. When he is told this by one of his sheep he does not try to escape his fate but he starts to plan his funeral.
To spare his family the sorrow of his death he sends them a message that he had married a princess and that the whole nature was part of this wedding. Also, the Sun and the Moon (Soarele şi Luna) hold their wedding crown.
So the whole song explains his impending death and the girl in the clip symbolizes his fate which he cannot escape. Or maybe she is even Death personified. At the end he follows her so he dies.

Better when you understand the story...
It's about a shepherd who is going to be killed by two other shepherds. He starts to plan his own funeral, and sends a letter to his parents telling them he has found a bride who is a princess and he will be happy with her, in hopes to save them from sorrow. The Sun and Moon are those two spikes (time running out) and the Bride is Death. In the music video, the Bride is in all black and he follows her in the end. Basically, he does not try to fight but instead surrenders to death.
It's a heartbreaking story, and Moldovan folklore.

I know I already left the comment here but I have to say (write) it again: this song is amazing! I listen to this every day and when I don't listen, I sing it. This song made me feel like learning Romanian again because I had some break. It is a beatiful language, a wonderful mix of Roman and Slavic languages, there is no such other mix in the world...
Ador cântecul ăsta!
