Efendi

Mata Hari

A household name in Azerbaijan, Efendi is known for her success in popular TV talent shows such as 'Yeni ulduz', 'Böyük Səhnə' and 'The Voice of Azerbaijan'.

In 2017, the starlet competed in The Silk Way Star , an international singing competition which aired in Kazakhstan, before successfully representing Azerbaijan at The Voice of Nur-Sultan , another Kazakhstani competition.

It took five attempts for Efendi to represent Azerbaijan at the Eurovision Song Contest. She was eventually chosen in 2020 by an international jury, which included music producers, composers, television industry professionals and journalists.

Efendi is interested in sports, Pilates, dancing, and strip plastics. She spends most of her free time walking pet dog Mini around the boulevard, and also cares for two bad-mannered parrots, Chip and Dale, that are completely untrainable and swear a lot.

Lyrics to Mata Hari

Imma godless Spy imma spy I uncover All of your secrets I want them There’s no stopping me now I’m a liar Playing the game of desire Ain’t gonna leave no survivors Would you fall for me now? Just like Cleopatra The Army Of Lovers I start a fire Yalan da men yanan da men yaman da men Ma ma ma Mata Hari Mata Hari [Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma] Ma ma ma Mata Hari Mata Hari [Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma] Mata Hati Undercover I am a dangerous lover Drinking my poisonous water and you’re under my spell Mesmerizing Moving my hips you are trying you can’t resist, try to fight it Got a story to tell? Just like Cleopatra The Army Of Lovers I start a fire Yalan da men yanan da men yaman da men Dance break: Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Just like Cleopatra Let’s start a fire Let’s go! Ma ma ma ma Mata Hari Ma ma ma ma Ma ma ma ma Mata Hari Mata Hari
