Taxi The moon ------------------ "The Moon" was the Romanian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by Taxi. This was the first Romanian entry not to feature any lyrics in Romanian. The song is a ballad which gains in tempo as it develops. Lead singer Dan Teodorescu addresses his lover, telling her that she has been able to look into his soul and find the humanity within it. He sings that as a result, "the wind is playing with the starts of my night" and "the moon is playing on and on and on with my heart". Musically, the song is accentuated by pan pipes, played by Georgiana Pană. The result was not, however, good enough to qualify Romania for the 2001 Contest. As a "passive participant" (a country broadcasting but not entering that year's Contest), Romania was re-admitted the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Romanian representative at the 2002 Contest by Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel with "Tell Me Why". less

Mălina Olinescu Eu cred ----------------------------- "Eu cred" ("I believe") was the Romanian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in Romanian by Mălina Olinescu. The song is a ballad, with Olinescu addressing a former lover. She tells him that she is still waiting for his return, and that she believes she is listening to him - thus the song will hasten his return. She asks him for "a sign that you will stay". Due to the poor result, Romania was ineligible to take part in the 1999 Contest. As a "passive participant" (a country broadcasting but not entering the Contest), it was re-admitted the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Romanian representative at the 2000 Contest by Taxi with "The Moon". less

Dan Bittman Dincolo de nori ----------------------------- "Dincolo de nori" (Beyond the clouds) was the Romanian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, performed in Romanian by Dan Bittman. This was Romania's first Contest entry, and consequently the first occasion on which Romanian was used at the Contest. The song is a ballad, with Bittman addressing his lover directly. He tells her that he accepts that he has wronged her in the past, but that with their mutual love he will be able to treat her better. He sings, "I am not asking for forgiveness for all I have done/I am asking for a ray of love to start all over again". Due to the poor result, Romania was rendered ineligible to participate in the 1995 contest. Additionally, Romania's entry for the 1996 Contest did not qualify through the internal selection for that year's Contest, rendering Romania ineligible for the 1997 Contest as well. As a "passive participant" (a country broadcasting but not entering the Contest) in 1997, Romania was re-admitted the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Romanian representative at the 1998 Contest by Mălina Olinescu with "Eu cred". less

Corinne Hermès Si la vie est cadeau --------------------------- "Si la vie est cadeau" ("If life is a gift"), was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1983, performed in French by Corinne Hermès for Luxembourg. The song is a dramatic ballad dealing with the wonder of life, likening it to a gift. Hermès tells of her suffering in love with a man "who promised her the whole world" and did not follow through, even subtly referencing a miscarriage "what about the baby I wanted to give to you in the spring?". She then sings that any kind of gift is welcome, whether it be given, stolen or returned, and warns that the good times are too short (implying that the listener should savor them for all they are worth). The song was performed 20th (last) on the night, following Belgium's Pas de Deux with "Rendez-vous". At the close of voting, it had received 142 points, placing 1st in a field of 20. The win brought Luxembourg equal with France on five Contest wins apiece, however both countries would later be eclipsed by Republic of Ireland, which would win seven. less

Anne-Marie David Tu te reconnaîtras ---------------------- "Tu te reconnaîtras" ("You'll recognize yourself"), sung in French by Anne-Marie David representing Luxembourg, It was the winning song at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 on one of the rare occasions when a country has won the contest two years in succession. David's victory was a surprise too many - to say the least; Spain's "Eres Tú" performed by Mocedades finished second and Cliff Richard's "Power to All Our Friends" third, both songs would go on to become major hit singles in 1973 - in the case of "Eres Tú" worldwide - and both considered Eurovision classics. The song tells of the universality of human experience, that "you'll recognize yourself" in other people; for instance, in a child who is being punished by a teacher. less
