Imnul celor care au iubit Lyrics – Irina Rimes

Irina Rimes is laying bare the quiet wreckage of love on “Imnul celor care au iubit,” her gut-wrenching single that dropped December 4 via Global Records, turning those endless “how many tears” questions into a hymn that hits like a chest-deep sigh you didn’t know you were holding.

This one’s Rimes at her most unflinching: a brooding pop ballad with piano swells and subtle electronic undercurrents from producer Alex Cotoi aka SICKOTOY (who co-wrote the music with her), building to those repetitive, mantra-like pleas that echo like unanswered voicemails. It’s Romanian pop laced with folk introspection—think orchestral strings brushing against raw vocal cracks, evoking the chill of late-night regrets in a Chișinău winter.

Thematically, it’s a ledger of loss: counting the sighs until the final one, the fragments of a shattered heart, the “what ifs” of fleeting kisses and silenced silences. But it flips midway into quiet redemption—urging calls to friends, mom, dad—reminding us that even in the embers, there’s room to rebuild before the line goes dead. Directed by Mihai Feflea in a stark, rain-streaked visual that mirrors the ache, it’s less a breakup banger and more a survivor’s soliloquy, co-penned in sessions that felt like therapy on tape. Fans caught the teaser on her Insta last month, flooding comments with “this is my story” confessions, and the full drop’s already topping Romanian charts.

Standalone for now, but it vibes right off her 2025 double-header: the reflective HORA (with Jerry Heil) and the raw Să nu uiți cât te-am iubit, both under Global’s wing—proving Rimes isn’t chasing trends; she’s chronicling the human unravel. Recorded amid her whirlwind of Eurovision nods and arena runs, it nods to SICKOTOY’s beat wizardry in the mix, keeping that Eastern European pulse alive without overkill.

Rimes is in her element at 30, the Moldovan powerhouse who fled conservatory for indie stardom now owning stadiums from Bucharest to Toronto—fresh off a sold-out fall tour where she debuted snippets that left crowds in hushed tears. Evolving from bubbly hits like “Visele” to these bone-deep ballads, she’s trading sparkle for substance, turning personal fractures into anthems that heal on repeat. It’s her way of saying love’s math never adds up, but the hurt? That’s the equation we all solve alone—until a song like this hands you the eraser.
