2. Loredana (real name: Loredana Groza, born 10th of June, 1970 in Onesti, Romania) is considered, by and large, the most succesful, extravagant and charismatic female pop star in Romania.
She started singing at the age of three and she continued to sing throughout her school years. When she was 14, she was noticed by composers Dumitru Morosanu and Jold Kerestely, who invited her to Bucharest for the talent show "Steaua fara nume" ("The Star Without a Name"), although she was too young, as the minimum admission age was 17. She competed in the talent show in 1986, at 16 years old, and won the big prize. In the same year, she competed in the National Music Festival in Mamaia, where she got the best newcomer prize, which made her the youngest winner ever.
In 1987, at Costinesti Music Festival, she met the famous pop music composer Adrian Enescu. He wrote the song "O inima de 16 ani" for her, and after it became a hit, he decided to write a whole album for her. Thus Loredana's first album, "Buna seara, iubito" was released in 1988. Although the title song was not broadcast on Romanian television because of the Communist censorship, the album was a huge succes, being sold in one million copies. In 1989, Adrian Enescu and Lucian Avramescu produced her second album, "Un buchet de trandafiri", that was also successful.
Her career recorded a hiatus until 1994, when Loredana came back with the album "Atitudine" and a live show meant to revive her status as a pop star. In 1995 she toured the country with the band Directia 5. 1995 was also the year when she released the album "Nascuta toamna". In 1996 she released the album "Tomilio" and started the collaboration with ProTV and Media Pro Music. In 1997 she gave an unplugged concert at the National Theatre. She also featured on the hugely sucessful hit single "Lumea e a mea" by B.U.G. Mafia. In 1999 she released the sucessful EP "Aromaroma".
In 2000, Loredana appears on the cover of "Playboy" magazine, which sells out and confirms her as an undisputed sex symbol, more than ten years after her career took off. In 2001, Loredana hires the help of Adrian Enescu again for the album "Diva Inamorata".
Two albums inspired by popular music follow in 2002 "Agurida" and "Zaraza". In 2003, the album "Fata cu sosete de diamant" is released, followed by "Extravaganza" (2005) and "Jamparalele" (2006).
In 2006, she was the host of the MTV Romania Awards. In 2007, she was the warm-up artist for George Michael's concert in Bucharest.
Loredana is married to the TV producer Andrei Boncea. They have a daughter, Elena.

Obisnuiai Sa Ma Iubesti Odata
Loredana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Obişnuiai să mă iubeşti odată,
În simfonii de şoapte promisiuni acum uitate,
Ai închis uşa şi-ai dispărut ca un hoţ în noapte,
Te-am lăsat să respiri aşteptând să găseşti
Drumul înapoi spre cea care spuneai c-o iubeşti
Mai ţii minte cum mă priveai noaptea toată,
Până la cer şi înapoi era restul lumii şi noi,
Obişnuiai să mă iubeşti odată,
Pentru tine eram singura fată,
Odată, odată, odată, odată.
Ai plecat fără să spui la revedere,
Chiar m-ai şters complet din orice amintire,
N-am sunat să te întreb unde şi ce-am greşit,
De ce nu mai eşti aici cum erai când m-ai iubit.
Te-am lăsat să respiri aşteptând să gaseşti,
Drumul înapoi spre cea pe care spuneai c-o iubeşti.
Mai ţii minte cum mă priveai, noaptea toată,
Obişnuiai să mă iubeşti odată,
Până la cer şi înapoi era restul lumii şi noi,
Obişnuiai să mă iubeşti odată,
Pentru tine eram singura fată,
Odată, odată, odată, odată.
The lyrics in Loredana's song Obisnuiai Sa Ma Iubesti Odata, which translates to "You Used to Love Me Once," express the pain and longing of a love that was once passionate and all-encompassing, but has now disappeared. The singer reminisces about the nights they used to spend together, when they were each other's world and promises were made in whispers. However, now the lover has vanished, leaving her alone and with no explanation as to why they left. Despite the hurt, the singer still has hope that the lover will return to her, and she waits for them with open arms, hoping that they will remember the love they once shared.
The lyrics in this song are relatable to anyone who has experienced the unexpected loss of a love that they thought would last forever. The pain and longing expressed in the lyrics are universal, as is the hope that one day the person they loved will return to them. The song is a powerful expression of the complexities of love and the heartache that comes with it.

Mai ţii minte cum stăteam treji, noaptea toată
Do you remember how we stayed awake all night?
Obişnuiai să mă iubeşti odată
You used to love me once
În simfonii de şoapte promisiuni acum uitate
In symphonies of whispers, promises forgotten now
Ai închis uşa şi-ai dispărut ca un hoţ în noapte
You closed the door and disappeared like a thief in the night
Te-am lăsat să respiri aşteptând să găseşti
I let you breathe, waiting for you to find
Drumul înapoi spre cea care spuneai c-o iubeşti
The way back to the one you said you loved
Mai ţii minte cum mă priveai noaptea toată
Do you remember how you looked at me all night?
Până la cer şi înapoi era restul lumii şi noi
Beyond the sky and back, it was just us and the world
Pentru tine eram singura fată
For you, I was the only girl
Ai plecat fără să spui la revedere
You left without saying goodbye
Chiar m-ai şters complet din orice amintire
You completely erased me from any memory
N-am sunat să te întreb unde şi ce-am greşit
I didn't call to ask where and what I did wrong
De ce nu mai eşti aici cum erai când m-ai iubit
Why aren't you here like you were when you loved me?
Pentru tine eram singura fată
For you, I was the only girl
Odată, odată, odată, odată
Once, once, once, once
