Lyrics:
The Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n\nIt's time for me to unwind\\nI'm gonna start my weekend with gin, tonic and lime\\nMy girls take me for a ride\\nReady to party and looking so fine\\n\nI wonder if beyond this\\nThere could be something better\\n'Cause I feel so good tonight\\nDon't wanna end this night\\n\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\n\nMy hips are ready to glow\\nThis record is so hot and I have so much to show\\nI'll find a boy for a kiss\\nWho knows, maybe he'll be my prince\\n\nI wonder if beyond this\\nThere could be something better\\n'Cause I feel so good tonight\\nDon't wanna end this night\\n\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\n\n(You've gotta live your life...)\\nIf you didn't find out\\nWhat love is about\\nAnd if you're lonely, baby\\nJust open your mind, you're one of a kind\\nYou've got to live your life...\\n\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\n\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)\\nThe Balkan girls, they like to party\\nLike nobody, like nobody\\n(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
Romania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia. They selected their entry, "The Balkan Girls", by Romanian singer Elena through the national selection competition Selecția Națională 2009 organised by Romanian Television (TVR) in January 2009. Prior to the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, Romania competed eleven times since its first entry in 1994. Its highest placing in the contest had been third place, which the nation achieved in 2005. In 2008, Romania finished in 20th place. "The Balkan Girls" attained local commercial success, topping the Romanian Top 100 in April. The song was promoted by a music video and live performances in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Romania qualified in ninth place from the contest's first semi-final on 12 May and ultimately reached 19th place in the Grand Final on 16 May, achieving 40 points. This remains one of the country's lowest Eurovision placements. Elena was accompanied by four female dancers and a background singer during her performance. Conceived as a reinterpretation of the Ieles in Romanian mythology, the show was aided by 3D computer graphics of a blooming forest.
Overall Final Postion: 19
