Cleopatra Stratan (born 2003), daughter of Romanian singer, Pavel Stratan, is one of the youngest people ever to score commercial success as a singer, with her 2006 album "La vârsta de trei ani" ("At the age of 3").
Pavel Stratan, father of Cleopatra, was in a studio recording a song and as 3 years old Cleopatra was hanging around the studio. One time she grabbed a microphone and started singing the song along Pavel. Everybody was so stunned that they ended up recording the song with Cleopatra as main vocals rather than Pavel. The song was "Mama" ("Mother"). After that Cleopatra recorded several other songs, basically a full album, and had some concerts as well. She is amazing on the stage as well as in studio. Some suggest that as she is younger than Shirley Temple, she should go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest talent ever (3 years old) to perform on stage, have her own album and already record several videos. In Romania, Moldova, and also around the world (her songs have already been translated to English and Spanish) there seems to be growing a tremendous fan base.
"La vârsta de trei ani" ("At the age of 3") was a double platinum disk in the summer of 2006. As of 2006, Cleopatra's biggest hit is the song "Ghiţă".

Ghitzä is short nickname for George.
The song translation:

"My little coat hangs on a hook
Outside the sun seems to be doomed
Nothing has been good since
I've been thinking about Ghita.
But Ghita is not in the village
I inquired about it.
It appears to me that he is gone,
Over the border...

It's hard, very hard for me,
I want, but I don't know what I want.
I know that you like me,
Tell me, Ghita, why are you silent?
Either come or go,
Either say yes or no,
Please don't get on my nerves,
Ghita, what's going on with you?

REF:
Ghita, I'll wait for you this evening at the door gate
Beside the door gate of the school.
Come, but don't come as usual, empty-handed.
Who is waiting for you just like I do?
The whole evening is only for you.
Ghita, show me a girl who loves you this much!"

A împlinit 4 ani

Cleopatra Stratan a primit un dublu disc de platină pentru vânzări record

Cleopatra, fiica solistului Pavel Stratan, care a cucerit publicul cu piesa "Ghiţă", a primit joi seara, în timpul emisiunii "De 3x femeie" de la Acasă TV, un dublu disc de platină pentru vânzările înregistrate cu albumul "La vârsta de trei ani" - 40.000 de unităţi în mai puţin de şase săptămâni.
Cleopatra şi-a sărbătorit în cadrul emisiunii şi ziua de naştere, ea împlinind vineri patru ani, informează Cat Music, casa de discuri producătoare a albumului. Dan Popi, directorul general al casei producătoare, a fost prezent în platoul emisiunii pentru a-i oferi sărbătoritei un căţel de pluş, de care micuţa nu s-a mai dezlipit până la sfârşitul emisiunii.
Drept mulţumire, Cleopatra a cântat o piesă în primă audiţie, "Număr pân’ la unu", precum şi refrenul hitului "Ghiţă", ea fiind acompaniată la chitară de tatăl său. Emoţionată, Cleopatra a mărturisit că atunci când cântă, o face pentru cuvinte de laudă, aplauze şi flori. De asemenea, ea a mai primit din partea producătorilor emisiunii un tort în formă de păpuşă, un portret realizat de un talentat fan al său, precum şi un urs de pluş mai mare decât ea.
Pe 20 august, Cat Music a prezentat-o pe Cleopatra Stratan într-un concert live la Teatrul Notarra. Evenimentul a coincis cu lansarea albumului de debut al micuţei artiste.
