Hello, Eleni and thanks for sharing with us this interview! First, tell us what feelings gives you your immediate future participation in this year’s Eurovision? / Buna, Eleni, si multumim pentru acest interviu! Mai intai, spune-ne ce sentimente iti da participarea ta la Eurovision Song Contest?

I am very happy that I will represent Cyprus in Eurovision 2018, with the song “Fuego”. Since the moment they gave me the song I loved it. I am also excited that the Eurovision contest is in Portugal that is a very nice country!! I feel that I am going to the biggest party in the world. / Sunt foarte fericita ca voi reprezenta Cipru la Eurovision 2018, cu piesa „Fuego”. Din momentul in care am primit piesa, mi-a placut foarte mult. Sunt, de asemenea, incantata ca Eurovisionul are loc in acest an in Portugalia, care este o tara foarte frumoasa! Simt ca merg la cea mai mare petrecere din lume.

Your song, “Fuego”, was one of the most expected songs this year. Tell us a bit about its story and message. / Piesa ta, „Fuego”, a fost una dintre cele mai asteptate piese din acest an. Ce ne poti dezvalui despre povestea si mesajul sau?

I am really happy that I am cooperating with Alex Papakostantinou. The song gives a message about people that they have started from zero and they have hard time in their life and they did something big & good, they did their dreams come true. It is reality and it perfectly expresses me, especially the lyrics “Coz I’m way up and I ain’t comin’ down, keep taking me higher”, “Coz I’m burning up” it means a lot to me. / Sunt foarte fericita pentru colaborarea cu Alex Papakostaninou. Piesa este un mesaj despre oamenii care au inceput de la zero, care au trecut prin clipe grele in viata lor, au facut ceva important si si-au transformat visele in realitate. Este realitatea si vorbeste perfect despre mine, in special versurile „Coz I’m way up and I ain’t comin’ down, keep taking me higher”, “Coz I’m burning up” inseamna mult pentru mine.

Which has been by far the most exciting experience from your musical career? / Care a fost pana acum cea mai importanta experienta din intreaga ta cariera muzicala?

Every musical part of my life is important and exciting, and Eurovision is going to be one of my most exciting experience in my musical career. / Fiecare parte muzicala a vietii mele este importanta si interesanta, iar Eurovision va fi una dintre cele mai interesante experiente din cariera mea muzicala.

We know that you have Greek origins. Why have you decided to compete for Cyprus and how do you feel about competing against another beautiful and talented woman in the competition, Yianna Terzi? / Stim ca ai si origini grecesti. De ce te-ai decis sa concurezi pentru Cipru si cum te simti sa concurezi impotriva unei alte femei frumoase si talentate din competitie, Yianna Terzi?

I was born in Albania and I came in a very early age in Greece, so I grow up in Greece. Yes someone will think that I can represent Greece in Eurovision contest and I will be happy & honored to do that, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
But Cyprus propose to me and I was really happy about it and then I heard the song that I liked it a lot, so I didn’t spent time to think about it and I just said YES!! / M-am nascut in Albania si am ajuns la o varsta frageda in Grecia, asa ca am crescut in Grecia. Da, cineva se poate gandi ca as fi putut reprezenta Grecia la Eurovision si ca as fericita si onorata sa fac acest lucru, dar din pacate acest lucru nu s-a intamplat.
Dar Cipru m-a propus si m-am bucurat foarte mult de aceasta oportunitate, apoi am ascultat cantecul si mi-a placut mult, asa ca nu am stat sa ma gandesc prea mult si am spus DA!

How will your show on the Lisbon stage look like? / Cum va arata show-ul tau pe scena din Lisabona?

Show is going to be a Show (smiling), we will dance, enjoy, have fun, we are going to party. / Show-ul va fi un Show (zambeste), vom dansa, ne vom bucura, ne vom distra.

Which of your opponents do you consider to be the fearest? / Care din adversarii tai il consideri cel mai de temut?

There is no opponent and generally there are no opponents in a music party. Now whatever the commission vote and what also people/fans every one vote and goes first place this country will deserve it. For me as I said before is a music party, I am going to have a great time and that the music brings people together or let me say countries together is what I love about this Contest / Event. if you put it like that then I have 43 countries but I can’t see it like that, is a music party!!!! / Nu exista niciun adversar si, in general, nu exista adversari intr-o petrecere muzicala. Acum, indiferent de votul comisiei si de votul celorlalti oameni/fani, tara care se va situa pe primul loc va merita acest lucru. Pentru mine, asa cum am spus mai devreme, este o petrecere muzicala, o sa ma distrez foarte mult, iar muzica aduce oamenii impreuna sau pot sa spun ca faptul ca atatea tari vor fi impreuna este ceea ce imi place la acest concurs / eveniment. Daca vorbim la acest nivel, sunt 43 de tari, dar nu pot sa le vad asa, este o petrecere muzicala !!!!

How is the woman, Eleni, behind stage? What does success mean to you? / Cum este femeia, Eleni, in culise? Ce inseamna succesul pentru tine?

Eleni behind the stage is just a girl that is creative, that fights, works hard. I love what I do! She is transformed to a simple girl and what I do is the most important thing for me, with that I wake up every morning and I sleep every night. My job gives me energy, it’s a way to express and it’s nice that I have found a way to express myself and to make me feel full! / Eleni in spatele scenei este o fata creativa, care lupta si munceste din greu. Iubesc tot ceea ce fac! Artista se transforma intr-o fata simpla si ceea ce fac este cel mai important lucru pentru mine, cu care ma trezesc in fiecare dimineata si cu care adorm în fiecare noapte. Munca mea imi da energie, este o modalitate de exprimare si este frumos ca am gasit o modalitate de a ma exprima si de a ma face sa ma simt implinita!

What do you know by far about Romania and our musical culture? What do you think about our representatives, The Humans? Ce cunosti pana acum despre Romania si despre cultura noastra muzicala? Ce parere ai despre reprezentantii nostri, The Humans?

Yes, I really like the song, it’s a special song. I wish them good luck from the bottom of my heart. I also know that in Romania they play lots of Greek songs and that is very nice of them!!!! (smile) / Imi place foarte mult piesa Romaniei, este un cantec special. Le doresc noroc din adancul inimii mele. Stiu, de asemenea, ca in Romania se canta multe piese grecesti si asta este foarte frumos ! (zambeste)
