"Run To The River" 
***Lyrics***


Used to close my eyes and choose denial
My only power to survive
When home means facing problems every hour
A child`s revival is running away

I come from a life on the edge, on the edge 
I build from a life on the edge

I breakout, I run to the river, run to the river, let it out 
I breathe in, breathe out, I run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, let it out

Used to live for brighter days to follow
Never saw sorrow as mine alone 
When the end feels near and corners seem to narrow 
Find strength to leave all weight behind

I come from a life on the edge, on the edge
I build from a life on the edge

I breakout, I run to the river, run to the river, let it out
I breathe in, breathe out, I run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, run to the river

Let it out, let it all out, let it all out

Composer: Boglárka Csemer "Boggie"
Songwriter: Sára Helene Bori

Only these words 
Only these words 
I want those days to come again 
When you have a good thing 
When you have a goal in life and reach it 
But if you feel you've lost your way 
I will be there for you in your darkest hours right beside you 
I want those days to come again when you dream of life 
When you find a way nothing can stop you 
But if your world feels torn away 
I'll be there for you in your darkest hours right behind you 

Chorus: 
I believe in u…. 
You never doubt never have no fear yeah 
They told me that… 
I believe in u…u 
I remember way back when yeah 
They told me that i believe in u…. 
You never doubt never have no fear yeah they told me that… 
I believe in u…you i remember way back when yeah they told me that…. 

I believe i want those days to come again 
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/jamala/-/i-believe-in-u.html]
When you know in time 
That no matter what (yeah )you can make it 
Just keep your head up to the sky 
Don't ever look back keep moving on and on 
I want those days to come again 
When you dream of life 
When you find a way nothing can stop you 
But if your world feels torn away 
I will be there for you in your darkest hours right beside you 

Chorus:

Alexander Rybak, winner of ESC 2009 ("Fairytale") is still in love with the Eurovision Song Contest.

Norwegian singer Alexander Rybak made his own cover version with English lyrics from the winning song and it sounds like this...

"Amar Pelos Dois" 
*** Unofficial English Lyrics ***


If I lived a dream,
I’d ask you to dance,
with time standing still just for you.

And though I forget
it’s only a dream,
I picture your face all day through.

Dance, love.
Smile, and you are glistening.
Laugh as no one’s listening,
and never let me leave.

Make me
forget about our quarrels.
In dreams, there are no sorrows.
May i spend this dream with you?

Dance, love.
Smile, and you are glistening.
Laugh as no one’s listening,
and never let me leave.

Make me
forget about our quarrels.
In dreams, there are no sorrows.
And I’m once again with you.

In dreams, there are no sorrows.
May i spend this dream with you?

Spain: Manel Navarro - "Do It For Your Lover" (Lyrics)

"Do It For Your Lover" 
***Lyrics***


A veces cuesta decir todo lo que uno piensa
A veces la vida causa estragos sin que te des cuenta
A veces parece que es como una melodía
Frustrada y perdida no nos deja ver la luz del día

Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love

Coge mi mano, no cierres esa puerta
Deja que el dolor y la tristeza desaparezcan
Así que pega un grito, sal ahí y vuela
Y verás que por los tuyos siempre vale la pena

Así que
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love

Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover,
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it just do it, just do it for your lover.

Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love

The Netherlands: O'G3NE - "Lights And Shadows" (Lyrics)

"Lights And Shadows" 
***Lyrics***


Cry no more, cry no more

Though the hallway catches light
it won’t reach the corner where you strongly fight

(Here in the shadow)

At this place they know the game
outside the world will turn and feel the same

(There in the sunlight)

But you are so much more to me
than the one who carries all the burden
I can only hope, once you fly, you’ll be free

you should never

Cry, no more, feeling all alone and insecure
you have been going through these stages
now it’s time to turn the pages

We’re gonna stand in line
and not give up but walk that road
that everybody goes
through lights and shadows

Every time the candle glows
it lightens up the space but no one knows

(Will there be a dark side?)

Every battle’s victory
is a double feeling when you cannot be

(Here in the spotlight)

Cause you are so much more to me
than the one who lifts us on your shoulders
I can only hope, once you fly, you’ll be free

you should never

Cry, no more, feeling all alone and insecure
you have been going through these stages
now it’s time to turn the pages

We’re gonna stand in line
and not give up but walk that road
that everybody goes
through lights and shadows

On a scale of one to ten
you got the biggest score you’re heaven sent
no one will doubt that you’re an angel

So what went wrong this time
hurt nobody, did no crime
what’s with the universe, why you?

Cry, no more, feeling all alone and insecure
you have been going through these stages
now it’s time to turn the pages

We’re gonna stand in line
and not give up but walk that road
that everybody goes
through lights and shadows
