Let Me Try
"Let Me Try" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Luminița Anghel. It features the backgrounding of percussion band Sistem. The europop recording was written and arranged by Cristian Faur. "Let Me Try" was selected to represent Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, where it managed to reach the third place and to score an amount of 158 points. Lyrically, Anghel addresses a lover, telling him that "I don't want to say goodbye", implying throughout the lyrics that their relationship is coming to an end. She asks why they "couldn't give it one more try", and tells him that "I will find a way to make you stay".
The performance of "Let Me Try" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 featured Anghel's backing group Sistem banging on drums of industrial waste and wearing the lids of these drums as shoes. Anghel also took part in these activities during the instrumental sections of the song. The BBC commentary of the contest likened Anghel to Ruby Wax due to her hairstyle. Previously, Romania failed to achieve a top 10 placing at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, so the song had to go through a semi-final selection process to qualify for the grand final. There, it was performed fourteenth, following Norway's Wig Wam with "In My Dreams" and preceding Hungary's NOX with "Forogj, világ!". At the close of voting, "Let Me Try" had received 235 points, reaching the first position in the euroscoreboard-field, and qualifying for the final. There, Anghel sung it fourth, following Malta's "Chiara" with Angel and preceding the Norwegian entry. Throughout the voting, "Let Me Try" has received the maximum 12 points-point from four countries.

Let Me Try Again
I know I said that I was leaving,
But I just couldn't say good-bye.
It was only self-deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything in life to you.
You learn from every lonely day
I've learned and I've come back to stay.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We could have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Let me try again.
I was such a fool to doubt you,
To try to go it all alone.
There's no sense to life without you.
Now all I do is just exist
And think about the chance I've missed.
To beg is not an easy task,
But pride is such a foolish mask.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
