The song isn't really about an actual wedding. It references a traditional Romanian folk tale called Miorita. The story is more complicated, but what matters is that the whole thing is actually an alegory for death.
Pasha actually wrote this to honor his wife of a couple years, Yuliana, with whom he wrote "O Mie", the Moldova song from 2013 starring Aliona Moon). It is basically a love song for her. They are stil very young in their marriage.
That's actually so wholesome. I thought it was a song referencing the "iele", mythical creatures in Romanian/Moldovan folklore that are known to be extremely beautiful and have an inclination towards seducing young men, somewhat similar to sirens. Residing in forests, I thought it was quite fitting that the music video was filmed in one, and the two (twin?) girls reminded me very much of the iele with the way they were dressed and styled.
It is not though? Stop spreading misinformation. First of all, his wife wrote the lyrics, they weren’t even written by him, secondly, this isn’t a love song at all. The song and presentation is based off Romanian and Moldovan culture and myths. The song itself is based off a poem called “Miorita”, which is about a Moldovan herdsman that is going to get killed by other “jealous” herdsmen. His sheep called “miorita” hears their plan and tells him, yet the herdsman just accepts his death, and tells his sheep to tell his mother that he got married to a woman, and that part of the poem is what the song is based on. The women on his side are “lele”, a Romanian mythology that represents some sort of demonic being. This song is very cultural and doesn’t represent a basic love song. Thank you.
The song does indeed have a cosmic theme. It is based on the Romanian poem "Miorița" (The Little Ewe Lamb). It tells the story of a shepherd who is about to be killed by two other shepherds. When he is told this by one of his sheep he does not try to escape his fate but he starts to plan his funeral. To spare his family the sorrow of his death he sends them a message that he had married a princess and that the whole nature was part of this wedding. Also, the Sun and the Moon hold their wedding crown. So the whole song explains his impending death and the girl in the clip symbolizes his fate which he cannot escape. Or maybe she is even Death personified. At the end he follows her so he dies.
you are totally right and "sun & moon" are also on the national flag song is cosmic and a reminder of where we belong forces of nature live in us and through us many wait for some epic final but the truth is that life goes on & we are the Life no end.. )
Someone said it is an old folks tale, maybe Romanian. It is about a shepherd who found out by one of his sheep that 2 shepherds were going to kill him. So he prepared himself by lying to his wife that he was going away with a princess so she wouldnt know his real fate. And in the end he goes with a girl to his death. Something like that. I am sure I left out something or got something wrong lol. That is how I remember it.
It's based on the Romanian and Moldovan (which, by the way it's the same thing) ancient traditional folklore. And you are right. It's about a weding of the cosmic proportios. Where the sun and the moon are the main and more importants participants.
Well the dwarf as you called him is an actual musician that recorded the flute parts for the song. Moreover, the staging tells a story based on Moldovan folklore which includes a little man called Statu-Palmă-Barbă-Cot which Serj (the flutist) is meant to represent. He definitely deserves to be on stage because of his contribution to the song but also because its fitting with the story they're telling, little people on stage should not be viewed as "cringe" just because of their body.
Two issues here. One, dwarfs are humans with a genetic disorder. You are the one being cringe here, reducing a human to a freak. Second ESC is definitely a big circus. To take ESC seriously is to make a clown of your self. The competition is about fun and European brotherhood.
How can you call him cringe when you don’t even know the backstory and the culture this song is based on? It is an extremely cultural and myth based song.

На самом деле,Паша написал мелодию, а стихи к песне написала его жена Юлия.

This is one of my favourites. Love the ethno-pop vibe and the almost pagan elements. ❤
Totally agree. And I prefer when they sing in their native language at ESC. Absolutely perfect!

The dwarf in the stage is so cringe and unnecesary...what a shame...ESC is not a circus
