Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2018

SLOVAKIA ENTRY

 

Elán - Amnestia na neveru (Amnesty for infidelity)

 

Hello,

This year Slovakia selected this epic song from one of the (if not the) greatest Slovak bands - ELÁN.

 

This Bratislava based group was founded in 1968, but the first album was released in 1981 and since then they achieved and experienced only glory and successes.

  Elán is still considered as the most successful Slovak pop music band of all times.

 

They had and have around hundred of huge hits in Slovakia and Czechia, so it was not easy at all to select just one for the contest.

 

If anyone is interested in and want to discover more about the band and their most famous songs here some of them

Damn, I forgot the key part. Obviously, the main aim of the Mixed Team Music'thlon will be to make TISC more urban and youthful.

Another idea for a mixed TISC competition could be borrowed from Youth Olympics. We could mash two random countries together and they would have to find an artist that shares nationality with both.

Because you are likely to find an artist with both Maltese and Uruguayan heritage?

Well, if it's the annual competition, you can always prepare a special Skype duet performance during the month of registrations.

Songs have to be 5 years and older. Also, I don't rate music based on the view count.

  IRELAND 

 

 

After a tough selection process, the Irish national TISC committee have settled on a representative for TISC Open 2018. This year's chosen entry is Gary Moore with his single "Over the Hills and Far Away". The song featured on Gary's sixth studio album entitled "Wild Frontier" which was released in 1987 - I hope you will enjoy:

Gary Moore - Over The Hills And Far Away

 

 

Lyrics:

 

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found

They marched him to the station house
He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
You stand accused of robbery
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him dear
But yet he dare not say
Just where he'd been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He'd spent his final night of freedom

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and far away

Each night within his prison cell
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again she'll be

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
As sure as the river reach the sea
Back in his arms is where she'll be

Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away

[Agger 1,663]

DENMARK  

 

After much deliberation the Danish jury has finally been able to decide the song. As rumours have told, the selected artist wasn't on the original shortlist, but shortly before deadline she was remembered. It may be the most main-stream artist to compete for Denmark, but we are very happy with the decision.

 

Ladies and gentlemen!

The Danish song for the 2018 Totallympics Open International Song Contest is...

 

Tina Dickow - Sacre Coeur

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Poison racing through my veins
A sordid pull to the insane
A constant gravity to change
And I don’t know where to go

Paris breaths beneath my feet
Thirsty skin against concrete
My sacred heart misleading me
And I don’t know where to go
No, I don’t know where to go

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Coeur

Paris falls under my eyes
History against one life
My sacred heart’s on no-one’s side
And I don’t know where to go
No, I don’t know where to go

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set

I could go home to my love
And live the life I’ve always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
I could go home to my love
It’s all there if I want it
But the sad thing is
I don’t know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Coeur

 SERBIA 

 

S.A.R.S - Lutka

 

 

Doll (Baby)

 

Who took you from me

Who sent you to me

who provokes our tears

every time you come

 

My brain doesn't let me

to give myself to you

your appearance feeds me

but I still restrain

 

And I just look at you

feeling is outstanding

and to that drug I will be devoted

even if I remain chaste

 

Baby, I'm resolved

to dance with you forever

 

The look in your eyes makes me embarrassed

but it feels so good

Your scent lures me

your touch is taking me

 

You are the goal of my wandering

and the subject of motivation

the reason for my trembling

color of my lust

 

And while I slowly falling asleep

in the dark I hear your voice

on the pillow I squeeze your palm

and orchestra plays to us...

Cafe Tacvba - Eres

 

 

Lyrics in Spanish

 

Spoiler

Eres,
Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres
Mi pensamiento más profundo, también eres
Tan sólo dime lo que hago aquí me tienes

 

Eres,
Cuando despierto lo primero, eso eres
Lo que a mi vida le hace falta si no vienes
Lo único preciosa, que en mi mente habita hoy

 

Qué más puedo decirte
Tal vez puedo mentirte sin razón
Pero lo que hoy siento
Es que sin ti estoy muerto pues eres
Lo que más quiero en este mundo, eso eres

 

Eres,
El tiempo que comparto, eso eres
Lo que la gente promete cuando se quiere
Mi salvación, mi esperanza y mi fe

 

Soy,
El que quererte quiere como nadie, soy
El que te llevaría el sustento día a día, día a día
El que por ti daría la vida, ese soy

 

Aquí estoy a tu lado
Y espero aquí sentado hasta el final
No te has imaginado
Lo que por ti he esperado, pues eres
Lo que yo amo en este mundo, eso eres

Cada minuto en lo que pienso, eso eres
Lo que más cuido en este mundo, eso eres

 

 

English translation

You are,
What I love the most in this world, you are
My deepest thought, you are 
Just tell me what to do, here I am for you.

 

You are,
When I wake up, the first thing... you are that
What my day lacks if you do not come around
The only precious thought that inhabits my mind today
 

What more can I tell you?
Perhaps I can lie to you without reason
But what today I'm feeling
Is that I'm dead without you, since you are
...What I love the most in this world, you are

You are,
My shared time, you are
What people promise when they are in love
My salvation, my hope and my faith

 

I am,
The one who longs to love you as no one else, I am
The one who would sustain you each day, each day
The one who would give his life for you, I am

 

I am here by your side
And I will wait sitting here until the end
You couldn’t have imagined
How much I have waited for you, since you are
...What I love in this world, you are that

 

What I think every minute, you are
What I look after the most in this world, you are
