NORWAY: Carl Espen - 'Silent Storm' (Lyrics)

SILENT STORM

Head to toes
Flesh and bones
Should feel whole
But the void
A silent storm

I’m here to use my heart and my hands
Somehow the bruises changed my plans

And there’s a silent storm inside me
Looking for a home
I hope that someone’s gonna find me
And say that I belong
I‘ll wait forever and a lifetime
To find I’m not alone
There’s a silent storm inside me
Someday I’ll be calm

Ask myself
What comes next
Will I fly?
Will I fall?
My silent storm

I’m here to use my heart and my hands 
Somehow the bruises changed my plans

And there’s a silent storm inside me
Looking for a home
I hope that someone’s gonna find me
And say that I belong
I’ll wait forever and a lifetime
To find I’m not alone
There’s a silent storm inside me
Someday I’ll be calm

THE NETHERLANDS: The Common Linnets - 'Calm After The Storm' (Lyrics)

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Driving in the fast lane

counting mile marker signs

The empty seat beside me

keeps you on my mind

Livin’ in the heartache

was never something I pursued

I can't keep on chasing

what I can't be for you

oooohhhh skies are black and blue

I’m thinking about you

Here in the calm after the storm

tears on the highway

water in my eyes

This rain ain’t gonna change us

what’s the use to cry

I could say im sorry

but I don't wanna lie

I just wanna know if staying

is better than goodbye

oooohhhh skies are black and blue

I’m thinking about you

Here in the calm after the storm

oooooohh after all that we’ve been through

(baby) there ain’t nothing new

Here in the calm after the storm

Maybe I can find you

down this broken line

Maybe you can find me

guess we’ll know in time

oooohhhh skies are black and blue

I’m thinking about you

Here in the calm after the storm

there ain’t nothing new

Here in the calm after the storm

LITHUANIA: Vilija Matačiūnaitė - 'Attention' (Lyrics)

ATTENTION

Did you think that you can get me, boy? (no)

Think again, babe.

Thought you could buy me for a drink or two,

But I’m not that easy

You saw me chattin’ with my girls at bar (true)

We’re all pretty

You told me I look like a movie star,

But I’m not naive

So… I’m gonna make you, make you fall,

down do-do-down down on your knees.

I’m gonna make you,

make you fall down to get all…

Attention, a little care

Then you can have a love love love love, some love

Attention, a little care,

And you can have lots of love

Do you dream abourt me in your bed?

Keep on dreamin’

You thought I’d give it to you – all I have (wait)

Not the first night

You said that it might be the love at first sight (babe)

Hold your horses

You told me you’re the best I’ll ever have,

But I just don’t believe

I’m not gonna ask you buy me diamonds,

no no no no,

Just behave yourself, treat me very well,

give me some:

Attention, a little care

Then you can have a love love love love, some love

Attention, a little care,

And you can have lots of love.

ITALY: Emma Marone - 'La Mia Città' (Lyrics)

LA MICA CITTÀ

Odio andare di fretta,

i rumori, la nebbia,

il tempo appeso

di questa città

Odio le scarpe col tacco,

che incastro distratta

nei tombini invadenti

di questa città

Odio me stessa allo specchio

non per il difetto,

ma per stupidità

Amo restare in giro

sapendo di tornare sempre

in questa città

E dimmi se c’è un senso al tempo,

al mio vagare inutile,

e dimmi se c’è davvero una meta

o dovrò correre per la felicità.

E corro corro

avanti e torno indietro

scappo, voglio, prendo e tremo

stringo forte il tuo respiro

e penso a me che non ho un freno

spingo forte e non ti temo

voglio tutto

voglio te…voglio te, voglio te

Amo il traffico in centro,

parcheggiare distratta,

il tuo sorriso,

la mia instabilità

Amo fare l’offesa

senza neanche una scusa

fare pace la sera,

spegni la città

E amo me stessa per questo

per egocentrismo,

senza razionalità

Amo prenderti in giro

sapendo di tornare sempre,

nella mia città

E dimmi se c’è un senso al tempo,

al mio vagare inutile,

e dimmi se c’è davvero una meta,

o dovrò correre per la felicità

E corro corro

Avanti e torno indietro,

scappo voglio prendo e tremo,

stringo forte il tuo respiro

e penso a me che non ho un freno

spingo forte e non ti temo,

voglio tutto, voglio te

voglio te, voglio te, voglio te.

E dimmi se lo vuoi

E dimmi che non sei

Soltanto un riflesso confuso

che guardo sul fondo di noi

E corro corro

Avanti e torno indietro,

scappo voglio prendo e tremo,

stringo forte il tuo respiro

e penso a me che non ho un freno

spingo forte non ti temo,

voglio tutto voglio te,

voglio te, voglio te,

voglio te, voglio te.

RUSSIA: Tolmachevy Twins - 'Shine' (Lyrics)

SHINE

Been looking at the sky

wishing on a star

waiting for a brand new start

Living on the edge

closer to the crime

cross the line a step at a time

Now maybe there's a place

maybe there's a time

maybe there's a day you'll be mine

Now something's got to give

make a brighter day

all we got to say

Chorus

Shine into my darkness

shine into the night, my rising sun

drive away the madness

Can you be a masterpiece of love

Sending out a message out above

Telling all the world to show some love

No one's gone bring me down, bring me down

You are my rising sun

Verse 2

Keep looking up ahead

riding like a wind

open up your heart, let me in

My life is on a string

when I see you smile

our love will last a thousand miles

Now maybe there's a place

maybe there's a time

maybe there's a day you'll be mine

Now something's got to give

make a brighter day

all we got to say

Chorus

Shine into my darkness

shine into the night, my rising sun

drive away the madness

Can you be a masterpiece of love

Sending out a message out above

Telling all the world to show some love

No one's gone bring me down, bring me down

You are my rising sun

Sending out a message out above

Telling all the world to show some love

No one's gone bring me down, bring me down

You are my rising sun

POLAND: Donatan & Cleo - 'My Słowianie - We Are Slavic' (Lyrics)

My Słowianie - We Are Slavic

My Słowianie wiemy jak nasze na nas działa
Lubimy jak poruszasz tym co mama w genach dała
To jest ta gorąca krew, to jest nasz słowiański zew
My Słowianki wiemy jak użyć mowy ciała
Wiemy jak poruszać tym co mama w genach dała
To jest ta słowiańska krew, to jest ta uroda i wdzięk

Mamy to czego nie ma nikt inny
Cenimy ten naturalny kształt
Wódeczka lepsza niż whisky i jiny
Najlepsze u nas cokolwiek byś chciał
Tu na swojskiej śmietanie chowane
Delikatne, rumiane jak chleb
Nie ma lepszych od naszych słowianek
Ten kto widział i próbował ten wie

Chorus:
My Słowianie wiemy jak nasze na nas działa
Lubimy jak poruszasz tym co mama w genach dała
To jest ta gorąca krew, to jest nasz słowiański zew
My Słowianki wiemy jak użyć mowy ciała
Wiemy jak poruszać tym co mama w genach dała
To jest ta słowiańska krew, to jest ta uroda i wdzięk

This special thing we have in our genes
Makes us proud of our natural shapes
On Our lands you have everything you need
So pour the Vodka straight, no need to mix.
Cream and butter taste so good
We will prepare for you delicious food
Our beauty is famous all over the world
You gotta see it for yourself and then You will know

Chorus:
We're Slavic girls, we know how to use our charming beauty
Now shake what your mama gave ya!
Clap your hands to this music
This is our nature, This is our call
This is our hot Slavic blood

UKRAINE: Mariya Yaremchuk - 'Tick Tock' (Lyrics)

TICK TOCK

I believe that I've loved you

Since the first time that I saw you

Bells rang angels sang

When the light of the night

fell on us we knew

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

We both knew that you were mine

Now cover me, I'll buy us time, time

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh *2

Oh wait for me I'm worth your while

Tick-tock, can you hear me go tick tock

My heart is like a clock, I'm steady like a rock

Sch don't stop, kiss and kiss me till I drop

My heart is like a clock you wind it with your love

You wind and wind, it with your love

Now I know it's too hard to

go tick tock without the glimpse of you

If you cave in I break

I keep losing my pace

In this endless race

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

They all know that you're mine

They can see we belong

Shelter me, you'll do fine

Wait for me, I'll buy us time

Tick-tock, can you hear me go tick tock

My heart is like a clock, I'm steady like a rock

Sch don't stop, kiss and kiss me till I drop

My heart is like a clock, you wind it with your love
