You are most welcome to join, the more the better :)

 

I suggest you create a private message thread with @Ted and also include @Yannakis and @Makedonas both of whom participated in the previous TISC edition for Greece and decide together which song you would like to present.

 

It's wonderful to see another nation with many jury members! :thumbup:

I really love the idea. Come on, fellow Greeks. Let's get down to work.🥳🥳

La Oreja de Van Gogh - 20 de Enero

 

Lyrics (Spanish):

Spoiler

Pensé que era un buen momento
Por fin se hacía realidad
Tanto oí hablar de tu silencio
Dicen que te arrastra como el mar

 

Llené de libros mi maleta
También de fotos tuyas de antes
Dibujé tu sonrisa junto a la mía
Me dormí con tu abrigo en el sofá

 

Quiero estar a tu lado
Quiero mirarte y sentir
Quiero perderme esperando
Yo quiero quererte o morir

 

En el momento que vi tu mirada
Buscando mi cara
La madrugada del veinte de enero
Saliendo del tren

 

Me pregunté: ¿qué sería sin ti el resto de mi vida?
Y desde entonces te quiero
Te adoro y te vuelvo a querer

 

Cogí un tren que no dormía
Y vi tu cara en un cristal
Era un reflejo del sol de medio día
Era un poema de amor para viajar

 

Quiero estar a tu lado
Quiero mirarte y sentir
Quiero perderme esperando
Yo quiero quererte o morir

 

En el momento que vi tu mirada
Buscando mi cara
La madrugada del veinte de enero
Saliendo del tren

 

Me pregunté: ¿qué sería sin ti el resto de mi vida?
Y desde entonces te quiero
Te adoro y te vuelvo a querer

 

Te perdí y no te perderé
Nunca más te dejaré
Te busqué muy lejos de aquí
Te encontré pensando en mí

 

En el momento que vi tu mirada
Buscando mi cara
La madrugada del veinte de enero
Saliendo del tren

 

Me pregunté: ¿qué sería sin ti el resto de mi vida?
Y desde entonces te quiero
Te adoro y te vuelvo a querer

 

Lyrics (English):

Spoiler

I thought that it was a good moment,

finally it became reality,

to hear you speaking so much of your silence,

they say that it drags you like the sea.

I filled my bag with books,

and photos of you from the past,

I drew your smile next to mine,

I slept with your coat in the sofa.

 

 

I want to be by your side,

I want to see you and feel you,

I want to lose myself waiting,

I want to want love you or die...

 

 

And in the moment that I saw you searching for my face,

on the morning of the 20th January exiting the train,

I asked myself if I could spend the rest of my life without you,

and since then I love you, I adore you and want you again.

 

 

I cought a train that didn't sleep,

and saw your face in the crystal,

it was a reflection of the midday sun,

it was a love poem, for traveling.

 

 

I want to be by your side,

I want to see you and feel you,

I want to lose myself waiting,

I want to want love you or die...

 

 

I lost you

and I am not going to lose you

never again will I let you leave

I am searching for youuuu, far away from here

I found you thinking of me

 

 

And in the moment that I saw you searching for my face,

on the morning of the 20th January exiting the train,

I asked myself if I could spend the rest of my life without you,

and since then I love you, I adore you and want you again.

 

 

La Oreja de Van Gogh is the most succesful Spanish pop-rock band. They started playing together in 1996 and they are still active today, although the female singer was replaced in 2007 (Leire Martínez replaced Amaia Montero, who decided to leave the band). The song that I have chosen to represent Spain this year was the second single of their second album, "Lo que te conté mientras te hacías la dormida", released in 2003. It isn't the most popular song of LODVG at all, but at that time it was a big success for being one of the first Spanish songs with an animated videoclip. It's also a very different style compared to the greatest hits of the band (Jueves, Rosas or La Playa), so I recommend you to check out these songs if you are interested in knowing the musical taste of Spain in the early 2000s.

 

I hope you enjoy it!

:SVK SLOVAKIA ENTRY :SVK

 

 

ELÁN - KASKADÉR (Stuntman)

 

 

The Bratislava based band ELÁN just entered to the history books,

 

it is the first :SVK artist to compete at two TISC editions. After its debut at the Open TISC n 2018 in the beautiful Dezbee´s Florida, USA with the Amnesty for Infidelity, the band once again won the internal competition.

 

After long deliberation inside the :SVK jury and many elimination stages, today was finally held the Grand Final

 

and it is the Stuntman (Kaskadér) who won by one single point the final :p

 

Hope you will enjoy this mid 80s gem.

 

The youtube video is 4 years old, but just because I could not find any older working video of the clip.

 

The song is as mentioned from 1985 ELÁN 4th album "hodina slovenčiny"

 

 

Lyrics :SVK

Spoiler

Má už mĺkve ústa
V tráve spí
Z výšky hviezd tma hustá
Spúšťa závesy
Lúka tíško vzdychá
Víťazom je pýcha
Cenou sláva pochybná
Lásku žien navždy stráca
Spí tu sám
Tá zvláštna práca
Pýta veľkú daň
Lúka tíško vzdychá
Víťazom je pýcha
Cenou sláva pochybná
Bol to kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil
Kto mu kvet do rúk vloží
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Nenašiel správny smer
Bláznivé výčiny
Riskoval vždy za iných sám
Má už mĺkve ústa
V tráve spí
Z výšky hviezd tma hustá
Spúšťa závesy
Lúka tíško vzdychá
Víťazom je pýcha
Cenou sláva pochybná
Bol to kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil
Kto mu kvet do rúk vloží
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Nenašiel správny smer
Bláznivé výčiny
Riskoval vždy za iných
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil
Kto mu kvet do rúk vloží
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Nenašiel správny smer
Bláznivé výčiny
Riskoval vždy za iných sám
Lúka tíško vzdychá
Víťazom je pýcha
Cenou sláva pochybná
Bol to kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil
Kto mu kvet do rúk vloží
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Nenašiel správny smer
Bláznivé výčiny
Riskoval vždy za iných
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil
Kto mu kvet do rúk vloží
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Nenašiel správny smer
Bláznivé výčiny
Riskoval vždy za iných
Kaskadér, kaskadér
Skočil do čiernych dvier
Krátko žil, krátko žil

Lyrics :GBR

Spoiler

Already has a mute mouth

He sleeps in the grass

Darkness is thick from the height of the stars

Triggers the curtains

The meadow sighs heavily

The pride is winner

The fame is a doubtful price

He is losing the love of women

He sleeps now here alone

That weird job

is asking for too costly tax

The meadow sighs heavily

The pride is winner

The fame is a doubtful price

 

He was a stuntman, a stuntman

He jumped into the black doors

He lived short, he lived short

Who will put the flower in his hands

Stuntman, stuntman

He didn't find the right direction

Crazy causes

He always risked for others
