“O lume minunată” is a cheerful Romanian children’s song by Mihai Constantinescu. It’s about the beautiful world of childhood: a place full of play, sunshine, stories, and toys. The song reminds us how wonderful and special that time is, and how important it is to continue sharing that warmth and joy with children.

Mihai Constantinescu was one of Romania’s most beloved pop artists, especially known for his warm personality and songs for children. His gentle voice and optimistic tone made the song incredibly emotionally resonant. He performed the song countless times on national television during children's programming, school events, and in concerts, which helped it reach a massive audience. In a time when media options were limited (especially under communism), a small number of songs became extremely well known and this was one of them.
