Let Me Try was the Romanian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kiev performed by Luminița Anghel and the percussion band Sistem.
An uptempo-folk influenced disco song, it initially garnered controversy in the national final due to allegations of conspiracy, yet they were denied. The song itself quickly grew popular in Romania.
It qualified from the semifinal in 1st place. In the grand final, it was performed 4th following Malta and preceding Norway. At the close of voting, it finished in 3rd place with 158 points, guaranteeing Romania an automatic berth in the 2006 final.

When I find you in my dreams
You always try to run away
It doesn’t look it, but it seems
You still take my breath away
And when I try to ask you why
We couldn’t give it one more try
I can’t find you anywhere
You are not there
Let me try, let me try
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I will find a way to make you stay
Just let me try
Looking back, I realise
We are learning from mistakes
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel your heartbeat breaks
But when I try to ask you why
We couldn’t give it one more try
I can’t find you anywhere
You are not there
Let me try, let me try
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I will find a way to make you stay
Just let me try
Let me try, let me try
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I will find a way to make you stay
Just let me try
Let me try, let me try
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I will find a way to make you stay
Just let me try
Let me try
I will find a way to make you stay
Just let me try
