The poem describes the difficult work of coal miners who toil deep underground for years to extract coal, symbolized by each piece of coal containing the story of where it slept. The document then shifts to describing the town of Petroşani, which is surrounded by beautiful mountains, where hard work is part of daily life but the natural beauty gives the people strength, hope and passion to follow their dreams and for winter sports. The mountains also provide an opportunity for Petroşani to become a tourist resort by leveraging their natural beauty.
