Lyrics:
Vino pe-o margine de lume\\nCa pe o banca goală să stăm\\nCerul sub el mi s-ar întinde\\nŞi nici nu vom şti dacă visăm\\n\nAstăzi mai mult ca niciodată\\nGândul meu te cheama vino\\n\nO noapte întreagă şi-o zi\\nCu tine alături de-aş fi\\nAş crede că lumea-i a mea\\nŞi numai ţie lumea ţi-o voi da\\n\nVieni (vieni) e stringimi la mano\\nIo vengo da lontano, da lontano per te (per te)\\nOh, guarda (guarda) il mondo che ho sognato (ho sognato)\\nPresente e il passato con te\\n\nAstăzi mai mult ca niciodată – mai mult ca niciodată\\nGândul meu te cheamă vino\\n\nO noapte întreagă şi-o zi – ti offro il mio cuore, lo sai\\nCu tine alături de-aş fi – sono innamorata più che mai\\nAş crede că lumea-i a mea – ti voglio tanto bene\\nŞi numai ţie lumea ţi-o voi da\\n\nLa vita intera con te\\nIl sogno più bello chi so – sono innamorata più che mai\\nIl nostro cammino vedrà – ti voglio tanto bene\\nLa luce di un amore senza età\\nLa luce di un amore senza età\\nSenza età\\n\nÎmi spui că vei rămâne doar a mea
Romania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade, Serbia. They selected their entry, "Pe-o margine de lume" (English: "On an edge of the world"), by Romanian singers Nico and Vlad through the national selection competition Selecția Națională 2008 in February 2008. Controversy surrounded the event, as the organising broadcaster, Romanian Television (TVR), was accused of conspiracy, and the song reviewed for plagiarism. Prior to the 2008 contest, Romania had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest ten times since its first entry in 1994. Its highest placing in the contest had been third place, which the nation achieved in 2005. In 2007, Romania finished in 13th place. Prior to Eurovision, "Pe-o margine de lume" was promoted by a music video and live performances in Greece, Moldova, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain and Cyprus. Romania qualified in seventh place from the contest's first semi-final on 20 May and ultimately finished in 20th place in the Grand Final on 24 May, achieving 45 points. This remains one of the country's lowest Eurovision placements. Nico and Vlad were accompanied by three backing vocalists and a piano player during their performance, and sang in front of a dark-coloured LED screen. Among other accolades, "Pe-o margine de lume" won a Marcel Bezençon award in the composers' category.
Overall Final Postion: 20
