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

HUNGARY: András Kállay-Saunders - 'Running' (Lyrics)

 

RUNNING


Silent cries
Every night
This Pain don't ever leave her life
Daddy's home
So she tries to hide
She calls for Mom
But never a reply

She cries cries cries
she's all alone
Daddy why why why
Leave me alone
She calls for help
She calls for help
But no one seems to care
She calls for help but no one seems to care

She keeps on running running running
from this crazy life
She keeps on running running running
Never sees the Light
I can see the angels standing by your side
it'll be alright

She's back again
Just one more time
Just wants to see her mother smile
She can't forget
Her only child
Mama let the devil in her house

She cries cries cries
she's all alone
Daddy why why why
Leave me alone
She calls for help
She calls for help
But no one seems to care
She calls for help but no one seems to care

She keeps on running running running
from this crazy life
She keeps on running running running
Never sees the Light
I can see the angels standing by your side
it'll be alright

She cries cries cries
Daddy why why why
she keeps on running running running
from this crazy life
keeps on running running
oh oh ohhhh
it'll be alright
