01 - Nótt - Yohanna - Iceland 2011
Ef ég aðeins gæti sagt
If I could only say
Að það er sem í hjarta brennur, ef ég ætti svar
It’s like my heart is burning, if I had an answer
Allt mitt líf er skipulagt
All my life is organized
Og það framhjá mér rennur, horfið allt sem var
And it passes me by, everything I had is gone
Ef ég gæti séð, hvað svo bíður mín
If I could only see, what waits for me
Þú ert sú minning, sem lýsir myrkur hugans
You are the memory which lights up my mind
Ég man þig oft um nætur, nóttin er svo dimm
I remember you often during the nights, the night is so dark
Þú ert sú minning
You are the memory
Oft ég hef mig að því spurt
Often I ask myself
Að það er sem í mig togar, horfi í sólarátt
It’s like something is pulling me, I look into the sun
Lífið bara hreif mig burt
Life pulled me away
Hjartað slær og sál mín logar, samt ég veit svo fátt
My heart beats and my soul burns, still I know so little
Þú ert sú minning, sem lýsir myrkur hugans
You are the memory which lights up my mind
Ég man þig oft um nætur, nóttin er svo dimm
I remember you often during the nights, the night is so dark
Ef aðeins ég vissi hvað verður án þín
If only I knew how it will be without you
Ég man þessa nótt sem var mín og þín, hvað bíður mín?
I remember that night which was mine and yours, what waits for me?
Þú ert sú minning, sem lýsir myrkur hugans
You are the memory which lights up my mind
Ég man þig oft um nætur, nóttin er svo dimm
I remember you often during the nights, the night is so dark
Þú ert sú minning, sem lýsir myrkur hugans
You are the memory which lights up my mind
Ég sé þig oft um nætur, svo margt sem minnir á…
I see you often during the night, so many things that reminds me of…
Þú ert nóttin
You are the night
02 - You're Like A Melody - Hanne Sørvaag - Norway 2011
So unexpected, you got me so out of the blue
We connected; you caught me off-guard
And now you’re a thought I can’t unthink
It’s almost like you’ve always been right here
I never thought I would fall for somebody like you
I was waiting for something specifically
It all changed when you came in
You’re the spark where love begins for me
And baby I can’t fake it
You’re like a melody
The kind of beat that sticks to me
You’re right where I want to be
I don’t want it ever to end
You’re like a favourite song
A number one you sing along to
Don’t stop, just let it go repeat on my radio
(You’re like a melody) Repeat on my radio
How did I not see it coming, I felt something shift
And then it got me wondering
What if love is more than chemistry
Love is but a mystery to me
And I don’t understand it
You’re like a melody
The kind of beat that sticks to me
You’re right where I want to be
I don’t want it ever to end
You’re like a favourite song
A number one you sing along to
Don’t stop, just let it go repeat on my radio
(You’re like a melody) Repeat on my radio
(You’re like a melody, a melody, a melody)
Hey baby you were all the good notes you’re singing to me
The way you’re lining up the two points so perfectly
And you could make it sound so easy
And now I can’t erase it
(You’re like a melody)
(The kind of beat that sticks to me)
(That tune is all I hear)
(I don’t want it ever to end)
And baby I can’t fake it
(You’re like a favourite song)
(A number one you sing along to)
(Don’t stop, just let it go out on my radio)
(You’re like a melody, repeat on my radio)
(You’re like a melody out on my radio)
03 - Do Anything For Your Love - Fenix - Pre - United Kingdom 2003 Semi Final
You don't even know that i exist
You don't
Every day i see you
I try to resist
I won't
You drive me crazy
Heart is beating faster babe
You take me places
Going round and round in my mind
I've got to face
The feelings i've got for you Babe
I do
I really do
Cause i'd do anything
For that one touch
Break all the rules
For that one kiss
Do anything for your love
Your love
Your Love
Got your number, but babe i just won't call
I won't
Cause i'd do
All i've got, just to please you
04 - Heatwave - Ebonique - Pre - The Netherlands Final 2003
There’s a heatwave hitting town, feel the heatwave falling down
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
Sun is burning with all its might
Seems the city is full of light
Sea is sparkling a velvet blue
It’s a mirror for me and you, mmmhh
Sizzling fire that in your heart
Just in time when summer starts
It’s a feeling you can’t hide
Wish you had me, by your side
There’s a heatwave hitting town, feel the heatwave falling down
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
I’m the heatwave in your dawn, like a heatwave I turn you on
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
Waves are crushing on white sands
As this heat gets out of hand
Let the water take control
Of your mind, body and soul
Pray for rain to calm the storm
When attraction takes its toll
Like a blaze I light you night
Move on closer, hold me tight
I’m the heatwave in your dawn, like a heatwave I turn you on
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
Let’s dance in the heat of the sun
I’m ready for the good times
Move to the rhythm we love (we love)
With some intensity
One kiss opens all of my doors
Sounds like a metaphor
I don’t have to say more
There’s a heatwave hitting town, feel the heatwave falling down
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
I’m the heatwave in your dawn, like a heatwave I turn you on
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
There’s a heatwave hitting town, feel the heatwave falling down
The passion of me and you, that burns deep inside me too
05 - Smile - Jamala - Pre Ukraine 2011
When alone you go to a brand new place
When you leave where you belong
Don’t forget to put on a smiling face
And you’ll feel so much at home
You can go to Moscow, you can go to Oslo
It’s no matter where you are
Shorten distance, baby and you’ll feel much better
For you know that love can start
With a smile, smile, smile, smile
Smile baby, smile, smile
When you meet the guy who gets you high
Really gonna lose your mind
Don’t know what to say, you feel so shy
Be yourself and give a smile
You can meet Mohammed, you can meet Matteo
Who will open up your heart?
Shorten distance, baby and you’ll feel much better
For you know that love can start
Smile, smile, smile, smile
Smile baby, smile, smile

You see me walking, see me move my head, I’m talking to you
Queen of the scene, know what I mean, baby don’t cha, do you
You see my action, satisfaction in the look I gave you
You can say, “Oops, sorry girl”, but I won’t forgive you
No, I won’t forgive you, no

Baby I am alright, no matter what you do

Now we’re done, feel like I won ’cause I dropped the loser
Moving on, happy with that, you’re such a loser
Yeah, you’re such a loser
But baby I am alright, no matter what you do

07 - Trenger Mer - Sichelle - Pre Norway 2011
Meg, meg, meg
Me, me, me
For jeg trenger mer av deg
‘Cause I need more of you
Hvorfor er det sånn at du ikke kan bestemme deg?
Why is it like that, that you can’t decide?
At du heller bruker livet ditt på å glemme meg
That you rather use your life to forget me
Jeg har sett det før, og jeg vet jeg bør
I’ve seen it before, and I know I should
Holde meg unna deg til det er mer av meg
Keep me away from you until it’s more of me
Og jeg tenker fortsatt på at det er noen andre nå
And I still think that there is another now
Om dere tar på hverandre og skal bli sammen så
That you touch each other and gonna be together so
Er vi over nå, så må du be meg gå
Are we over now, you’ve to tell me to go
For jeg kan’kke forstå, først var det bare meg, men så
‘Cause I can’t understand, first it was only me, but then
Hva har jeg gjort?
What have I done?
Alle tingene vi hadde forsvant altfor fort
All the things we had disappeared so fast
Gi meg en sjanse, jeg savner du og jeg
Give me a chance, I miss you and me
For jeg trenger mer av deg
‘Cause I need more of you
Ingenting kan stoppe meg
Nothing can stop me
Hvordan kunne jeg la meg lure av ditt dumme spill?
How could I let myself be fooled by your stupid game?
Alle tingene du sa til meg, alle falske smil
All the things you said to me, all the fake smiles
Var det sånn det var, du må gi meg svar
Was it like that, you must answer me
Har mistet alt, må vite hva jeg gjorde galt
Have lost it all, have to know what I did wrong
For jeg tenker fortsatt på at det er noen andre nå
‘Cause I still think that there is another now
Om dere tar på hverandre og skal bli sammen så
That you touch each other and gonna be together so
Er vi over nå, må du be meg gå
Are we over now, you’ve to tell me to go
For jeg kan’kke forstå, først var det bare meg, men så

Si meg hva jeg gjorde galt

08 - Just Me - Sarah Burgess - Pre Switzerland 2011
I’m just a plain Jane with a really boring name
I’m not Beyoncé, why I can’t explain
I don’t have an achy breaky heart like Billy does, I know, I know
I’m not a rap star, with a funny, funny name
I’m not like Lil Wayne; he’s just in it for the fame
Jay Z and Rihanna wanna run this town, oh no, oh no
We’re all big stars in our very own way
‘Cause I’m just me, in my own skin
I live my own life, that’s how I want it
We all share the same world
Share the same love, but we’re different
You don’t have to be no superstar
Just be yourself and come as you are
We’re all colourful, we are, we are
I’m not like Ke$ha, I don’t brush my teeth with Jack
Or Dolly Parton, I have a very little rack
David Bowie’s under pressure, that’s how we relate, bo dow, bo dow
I’m not like Lily, and say “fuck you” in a song
Or rapper Sisqó who sings all about the thong
We come in all colours, shapes and sizes too, we do, we do
We’re all big stars in our very own way
‘Cause I’m just me in my own skin
I live my own life, that’s how I want it
We all share the same world
Share the same love, but we’re different
You don’t have to be no superstar
Just be yourself and come as you are
We’re all colourful, we are, we are
What if I were you and you were me?
Wouldn’t it be strange if finally we see
It’s just the same me?
‘Cause I’m just me in my own skin
I live my own life, that’s how I want it
We all share the same world
Share the same love, but we’re different
You don’t have to be no superstar
Just be yourself and come as you are
We’re all colourful, we are, we are

10 - Cista Petica - Maja Suput - Pre Croatia 2003
Dobra jesam, ali nisam kao svetica
nema veze, ti si, lutko, cista petica
Nekad sam bez veze, ali obicno
osjecam se super, odlicno
osmijehe i srecu svima donijet cu
mene dobri ljudi pokrecu
Ref.
Ma kad se podijeli i dobro i zlo
ja sam cura, tako ti je to
imam mana, al' i dobrih strana sto
Dobra jesam, ali nisam kao svetica
nema veze, ti si, lutko, cista petica
mozda jesam malo stroga kao sefica
nema veze ti si nama cista petica
Nekada sam lose, al' u prosjeku
radujem se svakom covjeku
samo nek' se pjeva, neka dobro je
brige kao da ne postoje
Ref.
Good yes, but not as a saint
it does not matter, you, dolls, pure petica
Sometimes I have no connections, but usually
I feel great, great
smiles and happiness for all will bring
me good people are starting
Ref
Ma when dividing good and evil
I am a girl, so I was
I have flaws, but the good side of one hundred
Good yes, but not as a saint
it does not matter, you, dolls, pure petica
I may be a bit strict the boss
no matter you are our five cysts
Sometimes I lose, but on average
I look forward to every man
just let it be sung, some well
concerns as there are no

12 - Sol Och Vår - Inger Berggren - Sweden 1962
Sol och vår
Sun and spring
En juvelerare och hans affär
A jeweller and his shop
Är upphov till att allt så dystert är
Is the reason why everything is so gloomy
En dag framför hans fönster dröjde jag
One day I was standing in front of his window
Då någon plötsligt sa 'goddag'
When someone suddenly said 'good day'
Det var en glad ung man med solvargsgrin
It was a happy young man with a charming smile
Som bad mig följa med som smakråd in
Who asked me to come in to give my advice
Han sökte något att sin fästmö ge
He was looking for something to give to his fiancée
Och bad så snällt att jag gick med
And I was nice enough and joined him
När det är sol och vår och man är nitton år
When it's sun and spring and you're nineteen years old
Är det så lite man förstår
You understand so little
Och alla flickor små bör låsas inne då
And all the little girls should be locked up then
När vintern går mot sol och vår
When winter turns to sun and spring
Väl i butiken fann han inget se'n
Once in the shop he couldn't find anything
Och snart så stod vi utanför igen
And soon we were outside again
Jag sa 'adjö' och hade börjat gå
I said 'goodbye' and had begun walking
När han skrek: "Vänta, hör nu på"
When he yelled: "Wait, listen"
Som ett bevis för tacksamheten hans
As a proof of his gratitude
Ville han bjuda mig på lunch nå'nstans
He wanted to buy me lunch somewhere
Det var ju vårens första solskensdag
It was the first sunny day of spring
Så jag var dum nog svara' ja
So I was stupid enough to say yes
När det är sol och vår och man är nitton år
When it's sun and spring and you're nineteen years old
Är det så lite man förstår
You understand so little
Och alla flickor små bör låsas inne då
And all the little girls should be locked up then
När vintern går mot sol och vår
When winter turns to sun and spring
Han konverserade med elegans
He conversed with elegance
Och bjöd det bästa som på stället fanns
And bought me the best meal the place had to offer
Men se'n han gått att ringa till en vän
But then he went to call a friend
Så kom han inte mer igen
And didn't come back
Och rockvaktmästar'n sa:
And the man working in the cloakroom said:
"Jo, damens man tog damens päls
"Yes, your husband took your fur coat
Och gick till skräddaren, han"
And went to the tailor"
Så jag fick ringa till min egen Knut
So I had to call my own Knut
Som mig från notan löste ut
who came and bailed me out
När det är sol och vår och man är nitton år
When it's sun and spring and you're nineteen years old
Är det så lite man förstår
You understand so little
Och alla flickor små bör låsas inne då
And all the little girls should be locked up then
När vintern går mot sol och vår
When winter turns to sun and spring
The expression 'Sol och våra någon' (= 'sun and spring'-ing somebody) means tricking a person out of money by false promises of marriage.

My Top 20 Songs from Eurovision 2011 Thus Far –
I’ve also made comments about the songs I haven’t previous discussed in posts and uploaded all the songs in a Zip.
Comments will be treasured.
20th – Finland - Puppets – Jonna
19th – Belgium - Just One Chance – Chloe
18th – Iceland - Huldumey – Hanna Guðny Hitchon
17th – Albania - Fam – Ernis Cili And Onanta Spahiu
16th – Albania - Kënga Ime – Aurela Gaçe
Comments –
Puppets – Sigh. One of the few awesome songs from the Finnish NF this year, and currently my overall 2nd for Finland….so of course it got elminated in SF 01.
Just One Chance – Clearly the best song from Belgium (Which isn’t saying much) but of course it won’t win cause the Belgians have notoriously terrible taste.
15th – Norway - Not That Easy (Ah – Åh – Ah – Åh) – Åste And Rikke
14th – Norway - Allergic – Mimi Bix
13th – Iceland - Þessi Þrá – Kristján Gíslason And Íslenzka Sveitin
12th – Austria - Sternenenlichter – Luttenberger - Klug
11th – Austria - Good To Be Bad – Charlee
Comments –
Sternenlichter – OMG! It’s almost like Austria is TRYING this year…this song is amazing AND bonus It’s in GERMAN! But of course even if it makes it to the final, I’m sure the Austrians will be all Austrian and not send it. Of course.
Good To Be Bad – See above comment. ☹
10th – Ukraine - Action – Anastasiya Prihodko
9th – Estonia - Rockefeller Street – Getter Jaani
8th – Norway - I’ll Be Yours – Pernille And Marius
7th – Albania - Pranë – Kejsi Tola
6th – Finland - Fool Of Yourself – Christa Renwall
Comments –
Action - Dude, I haven’t posted it yet, but the Ukrainian selection this year has some AMAZING songs. This is one of them. It’s currently my number 2 overall for Ukraine. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because she’s the same lady who represented Russia with Mamo (yes…the lady with the lazy, mediocre song but AMAZING performance…yeah that one who had the huge video screen age her 60 years through the course of the song). I have a feeling she’ll win, just cause she’s popular and it’s a pretty cool song. Side Note – She’s a NOTORIOUS Racist! While competing in Star Fabric (The Russian Idol) she made a comment that she neither trusts nor likes “The blacks or Chinese”. She won anyway and is hugely popular.
Rockefeller Street – OMG! Estonia! This is your SONG!
Fool Of Yourself – Ugh Finland. Finland has a habit of presenting truly awesome songs in their National Final and then choosing not the best or worst song, but the most ridiculous choice. This song is just brilliant, so of course it was out in the Quarter Final.
Terrible choice. What a waste of a perfectly great song.
5th – Norway - Trenger Mer - Sichelle
4th – Switzerland - Just Me – Sarah Burgess
3rd – Iceland – Nótt - Yohanna
2nd – Ukraine - Smile – Jamala
1st – Norway - You’re Like A Melody – Hanne Sørvaag
Comments –
Just Me – Yes. It’s that Sarah Burgess. The one who’s claim to fame is that a couple years ago, she made it to like the second week of American Idol (When they chose the like 16 Finalists from the 40 singers). Since then, she’s been trying her hardest to turn those 27 minutes on TV into a singing career. I guess she went “On Tour”, but like her plane got stuck or her “Tour” ran out of money, in Switzerland. So she decided to like it there and declare herself on “Permenant Tour” there. Well, it’s pretty much the gain of the Swiss. This song is awesome and just so fabulous it makes me wanna sell my tv and buy wigs. It didn’t win, but it was the only decent song the Swiss have presented in like 15 years. So kudos.
Smile – I. Fucking. Love. This. Song. Since the moment I heard it, it’s been one of the best songs ever. Like flashbacks to Carry Me In Your Dreams from 2009. It’s just so original and perfect and unique, it’s beyond words. Winner. And the best part is, there’s a rumor that
