Aliona Moon

Aliona Moon is a rising star in the Moldovan music scene. She has already participated in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest as a backing musician of Pasha Parfeny. Now the two artists have changed places, and Aliona will be the lead vocalist of this year's Eurovision entry, the touching ballad O Mie.

Aliona Munteanu was born on the 25th of May 1989 in Chisinau. Ethnical Moldavian songs and lullabies sung by her mother cultivated Aliona’s love for music. Since her childhood Aliona was a member of lots of artistic collectives, where she performed both music and dances. As their member, Aliona participated at different contests in Hungary, Belarus, France, Romania, Bulgaria and of course in her motherland Moldova.

Later she was involved in the talent show Fabrica de Staruri 2 (Star Factory) where she gained the third place and the title of the public's favourite. With two of her ex-colleagues from Star Factory Aliona formed the pop band Thumbs Up. The band existed for two years until the break-up in 2011. After that, Aliona took some trophies at international musical festivals as a solo artist, most notably at the “Martisor Dorohoian” and “Dan Spataru” festivals, which were held in Romania.

Aliona considered it a great experience to be Pasha Parfeny’s backing vocalist for Lautar in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. It encouraged and determined Aliona to participate in Moldovan national selection for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest as a lead artist.

Aliona’s talent and luck earned her the honour and right to represent Moldova in Malmö this year. Her song O Mie was written by Pasha Parfeny, who is also Aliona’s producer.

Lyrics of O Mie

“O Mie”

O mie de-apusuri pierdute in mare, pierdute in noi
Pe gene o mie de raze de soare-aduceau dimineti pentru doi
O mie de stele arzînd căzătoare priviri ne-au furat
In ceruri o mie de nopți seculare s-au tot spulberat, noi am rezistat

Chorus:
Între soare si ploi
Se nasc mii de culori, dar noi vedem doar nori
Amintiri despre noi
Însirat-am pe foi, apoi le-am distrus amindoi

O mie de lacrimi nu-mi spală durerea de cînd te-am pierdut
De-o mie de nopți ma inghite tacerea, ea vrea sa te uit, imi cere prea mult
Nu cred ca este-n trecut, fiorul ce l-am avut
Vreau un nou inceput!

Bridge:
Credeam în dragostea ta, speram ca nu va seca
Credeam în visele mari, dar ai ales sa dispari
Credeam ca nu e-n trecut, fiorul ce l-am avut
Vreau un nou inceput!

Chorus:
Intre soare si ploi
Se nasc mii de culori, dar noi vedem doar noi
Amintiri despre noi
Insirat-am pe foi, apoi le-am distrus amindoi
A Million”

A million sunsets are lost in the ocean, lost in our minds;
Your beautiful smile woke me up in the mornings a million times;
A million hopes were revealed in discretion, at shooting stars;
And we didn’t care that I was from Venus, and you were from Mars

Chorus:
I would give you my love, but it wasn’t enough for us to make it last;
The Maya were not so wrong, it’s the end of the world! It’s done!
cause you are gone.

A million tears cannot wash up the sorrow that you made me feel;
A million of memories I try not to follow, but I cannot heal,
My heart is too ill
I thought that we can go on
But you chose to go alone
Go away! Now I’m done!

Chorus:
I would give you my love, but it wasn’t enough for us to make it last;
The Maya were not so wrong, it’s the end of the world! It’s done!
cause you are done.

Bridge:
I gave you all that I had
But you broke my heart instead
I built a future for us
But you betrayed all my trust
I thought that we can go on
But you chose to go alone
Go away! Now I’m done!
