"Tornerò" (meaning I Will Return in Italian) is a song performed by the Romanian artist Mihai Trăistariu and composed by Eduard Cârcotă. It was chosen as the entry that represented Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, Greece. Tornerò was ranked first in the national selection on 26 February 2006, receiving 22 points in total. Although it received the maximum number of points from the jury, the song was only ranked second based on the televoting results (behind Jokero by Akcent, which, however, was ranked third by the jury). In the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 Final, Tornerò was ranked 4th out of 24 countries, receiving 172 points.
The verses of the song are sung in English, while the chorus is in Italian. As it turned out, "Tornero" has managed to become a major summer hit in Greece as well. New versions of it was recently performed by both Mihai Trăistariu, the popular Greek pop artists Tamta and Anna Vissi.
