Biography
Csézy has won Eurovíziós Dalverseny 2008, the Hungarian national selection, with the song Szívverés which has subsequently been translated as Candlelight and will thus represent Hungary in the second Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Thursday, 22nd of May in Belgrade.
Csézy won the Hungarian national selection of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song named Candlelight, and she will participate in the Semi-Final in Belgrade. The local final took place in Budapest, and during the show 15 songs were performed. Among the contestants, not only newcomers, but also highly popular singers and bands tried to achieve the first place. The Hungarian viewers voted for Csézy, the young, beautiful and exquisitely talented singer.
Csézy was born in November, 1979 in a small town far from the capital, called Mezőkövesd.
Her childhood was a little bit different from the one of average children, since Csézy's parents considered it extremely important to provide high-level musical education to their daughter from a very young age. This lead to her comprehensive musical qualification, which covers various fields, she is not only a singer of great talent and much creativity, but also plays on the piano.
Csézy graduated from the Béla Bartók Music Department of the University of Miskolc. Afterfinishing school, she toured with intensity in the company of her former classmates, and they did not have to wait too long for their first success. In Spain, the group won the first prize at an international contest where they were singing local folk and polyphonic songs. If we are talking about folk music, mention must be made that Csézy was born in a family which is proud to preserve Hungarian folk traditions, namely she is the last descendant of the worldwide famous Matyó dynasty.
In 2007, Csézy's childhood dream came true when her debut album hit the shelves of Hungarian music stores. There was no doubt about her classical background, but in order to gain a wider audience, she wanted to show her talent in the field of pop music as well. The first single from the album became a huge success in Hungary, since local radio stations picked up the moving ballad immediately. The spectacular, visually fantastic video prepared for the song also remained in high rotation of Hungarian music TV channels for weeks.
Candlelight,the song that Csézy will perform in English in Semi-Final 2 of the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, is another beautiful, heartbreaking ballad. The composer is Viktor Rakonczai, its lyrics were written by Imre Mozsik. Viktor Rakonczai's name might be familiar to those who have been following the history of Eurovision Song Contest, as he was one of the singers of the boygroup named VIP which, representing Hungary, had attended the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin in 1997. At that time they finished the contest in an outstanding 12th position. Now Viktor is eager to return to stage of Eurovision as a musician, since he will accompany Csézy on the piano at the event.
It is also worth saying a few words about the superb background vocalists. The four guys are members of the a cappella vocal band called Fool Moon. The band was formed in 2001 by five young men, each with a solid background in classical and light music. The group has been invited to take part in numerous a capella events and festivals throughout Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. Fool Moon is also the winner of several international contests of the said music genre: the International Ward Swingle A Capella Contest in Graz in 2005 as well as the Sixth Taiwan A Capella Contest in 2006 just to name a few.
So now, the future for Csézy looks brighter than ever, and she is ready to conquer Europe by singing the fantastic song, Candlelight.
Csézy will represent the Hungarian Television at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade.

Csézy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summer scents expire
Autumn leaves, memories
An untold desire
It burns in me
Waiting patiently
Never sleeps or tires
Come (and) wake me from this lonely place
All I want is you
If you take me to the stars and back
I will know my dream is true
I will fly tonight
Forever keep you in my heart
Make it feel so right
When you love me by sweet
Candlelight
Hold me 'till the morning shine
All my fears subside
When I look into your eyes
So step inside
And place your hand into mine
What you are is a blessing to my life
Ha't Istenem most le'gy velem ku"ldd el hozza'm o"t
Nem sza'mi't mennyi me'g, olyan jo' ra' va'rni
I will fly tonight
Forever keep you in my heart
Make it feel so right
When you love me by sweet
Candlelight
Hold me 'till the morning shine
All my fears subside
When I look into your eyes
The lyrics of Csézy's "Candlelight" evoke the feelings of longing and desire for someone who's not around. The first few lines paint a picture of the changing seasons, with the end of summer and the beginning of fall. The singer is reminded of memories and a desire that's yet to be fulfilled. The desire, however, is not fading away, but instead, it's growing stronger with each passing hour. This feeling is the driving force behind the song.
The second verse uses imagery of flying and stars to showcase the magnitude and intensity of the singer's desire. If the person they long for takes them to the stars and back, then that would signify that their dream is coming true. The chorus repeats the same lines, talking about how the singer feels when they're with their loved one. The candlelight is a symbol of intimacy, and the singer wants nothing more than to bask in the warmth of their lover's presence.
The bridge is in Hungarian, the singer's native language. The English translation of the lines is, "Oh my god, just send him my way today, I don't care how long I have to wait." This shows how desperate the singer is to be with the one they love, and they're willing to wait, no matter how long it takes.

Weeks go by
Time passes by
Summer scents expire
The smells of summer fade away
Autumn leaves, memories
Autumn reminds me of memories
An untold desire
Something I want but haven't expressed
It burns in me
I feel a strong passion
Waiting patiently
Being patient while waiting
Never sleeps or tires
Always active and never rests
But grows by the hour
Continues to become stronger
Come (and) wake me from this lonely place
Please help me out of my loneliness
All I want is you
You are all I want
If you take me to the stars and back
I would be so happy if you took me on a journey
I will know my dream is true
It would fulfill my dream
I will fly tonight
I feel free and happy
Forever keep you in my heart
You are always with me
Make it feel so right
It feels perfect and satisfying
When you love me by sweet candlelight
The feeling of love in a romantic setting
Hold me 'till the morning shine
Stay with me until morning arrives
All my fears subside
My worries disappear
When I look into your eyes
Seeing your eyes makes me feel better
So step inside
Come inside and be closer to me
And place your hand into mine
Hold my hand
What you are is a blessing to my life
You are a special gift in my life
Ha't Istenem most le'gy velem ku'ldd el hozza'm o"t
God, please bring them to me now
Nem sza'mi't mennyi me'g, olyan jo' ra' va'rni
I don't care how long it takes, waiting is worth it

It is a pity that she would sing in Hungarian just at that part.
It's my favorite part in English.

I agree that both songs were robbed. Both are in my top 15. Last ones should have been Malta, Belgium and Estonia.
