The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody

It's time for me to unwind
I'm gonna start my weekend with gin, tonic and lime
My girls take me for a ride
Ready to party and looking so fine

I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)

My hips are ready to glow
This record is so hot and I have so much to show
I'll find a boy for a kiss
Who knows, maybe he'll be my prince

I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)

(You've gotta live your life...)
If you didn't find out
What love is about
And if you're lonely, baby
Just open your mind, you're one of a kind
You've got to live your life...

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(For crowd delight, we'll shine all night)

It is very curious that a lot of people hated this at first and after many listenings they love it.....

For me is one of the best Romanian entries in ESC....I like it from the begining, and I didn't know why people here were talking so bad about it...that is cheap, trash...and other rude words :cry:

Count me as one who liked it from the start then :D I would've preferred "Sunny Days" to win the NF but I liked this a lot too!

Nope, one of the weakest songs in this year finals IMO. Another silly hip shaking song. There is no way I can take this serious. What a letdown after the masterpiece from 2008.
Balkan girls is so incredibly ordinary and plain so the final placing doesn't surprise me one little bit, we've seen it before a hundred times.

I like it as well :D

I like the rhytm, and it is a very positive song. There were better songs in the NF(Catalin was better imo), but this was a fair choice as well. Nothing amazing, i am not surprised with the result, but i still enjoy it when i hear it :D

I think this song is one of the most underrated songs of 2009. After a year, I'm still listening it.

Just a correct and nice balkan song with a good presentation and vocals. It deserved a bit more IMO, but oh well...

Happy to hear that you think that :)
Not many people liked it,but Elena did her best and she can do better.
This song wasn't her type,just like with Paula.
Her songs in Romanian before Eurovision have great lyrics,great videos,Elena is great. ;)

Elena about Romania's third place:
I'm very happy for them,especially because I appreciate a lot Paula Seling,it's one of the few Romanain singers with a lot of talent,works a lot,and it's a great person. I'm happy that Romania showed that it has great people and I hope their result will bring more artists to participate at this contest,because it's a very important one :)
She is such a good girl,a good priest girl :)
