"Pe-o margine de lume" (Romanian pronunciation: [pe̯o ˈmardʒine de ˈlume]; English: "On an edge of the world") is a song by Romanian singers Nico and Vlad Miriță, released on an enhanced CD in 2008 by Cat Music in Romania. It was written by Andreea Andrei and Adina Șuteu, while production was solely handled by Andrei Tudor. An operatic ballad performed in Romanian and Italian, it was likened to the works of Italian singer Andrea Bocelli by music critics. "Pe-o margine de lume" was originally recorded as a solo by Miriță.

"Pe-o margine de lume" represented Romania in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, Serbia after winning the pre-selection show Selecția Națională; their win caused several controversies. The song was also suspected of plagiarising "La magia del corazón" (2002) by David Bustamante, prompting the set up of a commission to analyze both tracks. In Belgrade, Romania qualified to the final and finished in 20th place with 45 points, one of the country's lowest placements in the contest. "Pe-o margine de lume" was promoted by endeavours in Belgium, Spain, Cyprus, Moldova and Ukraine, and by the release of an accompanying music video, shot by Petre Năstase, portraying Nico and Vlad at a beach and in an abandoned stone pit. The track won awards at the 2008 Marcel Bezençon and at the 2009 Radio România Actualități Awards.
