Over the decades Eurovison has brought so many great songs to life. I was truly a task to narrow it down to just ten. However I picked ten and then picked out my Избранное lyrics from each.
1. Ne Ver', Ne Boisya, Ne Prosi - Тату (Russia)
Ne zazhigaj i ne gasi.
Ne ver', ne bojsya, ne prosi.
I uspokojsya, i uspokojsya.
2. 1944 - Jamala (Ukraine)
Where is your mind?
Humanity cries.
Ты think Ты are gods.
But everyone dies.
Don't глотать, ласточка my soul.
3. Yodel It - Ilinca (Romania)
So bring it on, bring it on, I’m a dreamer.
If Ты don’t believe it, come and see me, I will teach you.
If Ты never try, you’ll never be alive.
Ты are gonna miss out on this ride.
4. Line - Triana Park (Latvia)
All I see is you, all I see.
All I see is you, all I see.
Where we draw the line?
Tell me, babe, where we draw the line?
5. Sha La La - Ruslana (Ukraine)
Just maybe I’m crazy.
The world spins round and round and round.
6. Paper - Svala (Iceland)
You’re under the water.
Trying to pull me under.
7. Dancing In The Rain - Ruth Lorenzo (Spain)
Life, gets Ты every time.
Open up.
Ты never know what Ты will find.
Ты never know what waits inside.
8. Zaleilah - Mandinga (Romania)
Siento el ritmo del cuerpo tocandome.
El perfume del viento besandome.
9. Euphoria - Looren (Sweden)
We are here, we're all alone in our own universe.
We are free, where everything's allowed and Любовь comes first.
Forever and ever together, we sail into infinity.
10. Waterline - Jedward (Ireland)
Whistle blast, lights flash.
Throw a rope, grab a hold.
Feel the undertow.
She laughs, waves crash.
