This one’s back from 2003, Șuie Paparude were the most innovative Electronica act in Romania at the time (and for many years after, tbh!)
As for the message, it’s basically a highly articulated jumble of metaphors and Cool technobabble expressing a general sense of “lose yourself with us, ours is next-level shit.”
I’ve attempted a very, very rough translation below - started with an automated translation which I’ve edited for accuracy and tried to account for language-specific idioms, so it’s close-ish, sorta’:
“Level I is passed from the start
The starting block’s only for those who dedicate themselves to a new wave
Digital, transient-ambient, vibrato-fatal
For those who do not have mental agreement
With two-zero-zero-three subliminal
Come here so I can teach you not to forget
To differentiate between sitting and participating
To what, to what is heard, to Paparude, to Șuie
His is the sound that forms the soul from white to black
From white to integral, integral or better said
Ready for a dream a bit too real, not at all subliminal
Nothing is accidental, it’s a digital exercise
Eloquent, insane, super-elastic
Straight from the world of music drawn on plastic.
Straight from the world of music written on plastic
Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically
You have 10 seconds to start moving
If you don’t do that, it’ll suck for us.
Straight from the world of music written on plastic
Junkyard and Șuie intervene technico-tactically
You have 10 seconds to start moving
If you don’t do it today, it’ll suck tomorrow.”
For further context, Junkyard’s the dude providing the vocals, and Șuie’s the dude who does the track.
You’re very welcome! Word of warning, though, the rest of their stuff varies greatly. They do have a couple of songs I like a ot though!
In addition, if you’re looing for something similar to this song in particular, I recommend checking out Subcarpați - Pe Deal, În Văi, for instance. They follow that dark, heavy beat and the trippy progressions closer than most of everything else produced by Șuie. They also base a lot of their lyrics, structures and sampling on folkloric music from around our parts, can find something from each region!

Thank you so much! I think I like the lyrics; nonsensical/tongue-in-cheek yet still somehow subversive and socio-critical.
I’m checking them out now.
