Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2022

[IoNuTzZ 305]

ROMANIA

 

This time it was hard for me to choose a song because i have two favourites but i had to make a choice so this is the song.

 

 

For the first time i will send in this competition a new genre called “manea” it’s a very popular genre here in Romania but also it’s a very controvresial genre. I really hope you will enjoy this song.

Emilia is from  so there are 2 countries represented, she is singing in bulgarian and Florin Salam is singing in romanian.

GAVIN JAMES - GREATEST HITS

 

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Spoiler

 

Do you remember all those wild nights?
'Cause I've been flicking through the highlights
To when you said you love me for the first time
And I just couldn't get my words right

Why do all of the good memories hurt the most?
All I see is your face when my eyes are closed
You're like all of the good songs I can't forget
Always stuck in my head

 

Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits
Now you've got someone
I can't fool myself that we still exist
You meant more to me than anyone
I guess I never was your number one
Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits
(Our greatest hits)

 

I don't remember how it all went wrong
Maybe if I could I would be moving on
'Cause I still play the records that we used to play
I still sing along but they don't sound the same

Why do all of the good memories feel so bad?
Just a beautiful dream is all I really had
You're like all of the good songs I can't forget
Always stuck in my head

 

Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits
Now you've got someone
I can't fool myself that we still exist
You meant more to me than anyone
I guess I never was your number one
Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits
(Our greatest hits)

 

Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits
Now you've got someone
I can't fool myself that we still exist
You meant more to me than anyone
I guess I never was your number one
Now I'm on my own
I just dance alone to our greatest hits

Wherever you are
(Do you remember all those wild nights?)
Wherever you are
('Cause I've been flicking through the highlights)
I hope that you're dancing too
(To when you said you love me for the first time)
I hope that you're dancing too
Our greatest hits

Tachys - "When The World Wakes Up"

 

 

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Spoiler

Child, what happened?
What came over you?
It changes you
Child, be true to your own self
Why, when you well knew
It crushes you, bad as you

Since you've gone
I don't wait up for you
Unlike us
Let it go, never sure what you're gonna do
What you're gonna do
When the world wakes up

Since you've gone
I don't wait up for you
So unlike us
Let it go, never sure what you're gonna do
What you're gonna do
When the world wakes up

Child, what happened?
What possesses you?
It's after 2
Where are you?
Sat at home, I worry
Hopin' to get a call
It's late, my love
Night is so cold

Since you've gone
I don't wait up for you
So unlike us
Let it go, never sure what you're gonna do
What you're gonna do
When the world wakes up

Since you've gone
I don't wait up for you
So unlike us
Let it go, never sure what you're gonna do
What you're gonna do
When the world wakes up
When the world wakes up
When the world wakes up
When the world wakes up
When the world wakes up

Elyanna & Balti - Ghareeb Alay 

 

 

 

 

Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter Elyanna 

Spoiler

 

in collaboration with Tunisian singer Balti 

 

 

English lyrics  : 

 

 

Spoiler

1st verse:1

Our story started when we were kids,

Our days were so fun and no one was jealous

But now your feelings are lost and you are so confused

When they started telling you that “I am a superstar”.

 

Pre:

Day by day night by night, I’m the one that trying to reach out to you.

I am here

But where are you?

Baby you seem strange to me.

 

 chorus:

Strange to me...

 

Balti 2nd verse:

My heart is with you and it is not far away

Where am I and where are you

You are strange and I am strange

From Tunisia to Palestine

O my heart, don't blame me

Life is hard but, we love and live

A man and a master of men

Don’t compare me to others,

You are mine.

Me and you are not like the others/ our situation is different

Runaway from the bad guys that ravaged you and me

I am Amazighi and lover of an Arab girl

And my heart is Palestinian and we will stand with it.

 

Balti pre:

And with you, we did not separate, so that we would die, grow, and die

And the days they will pass..

 

Balti 3rd:

And it decorates me what I did

And you from my mind did not forget

Life filled us, and I am with you

Neither sold nor bought

You are Som and Huma Som

You com and Homa com*

You are yesterday and you are tomorrow

And you are with me for a day

Sweetie

You are with me, the joy and the calamity

The world is sweet and bitter and more people are strange

And the repentance of people who do not have good ones

I walked with my heart and Hani ended the tax

 

Balti pre:

And with you, we did not separate, so that we would die, grow, and die

And the days they miss, they pass

 

Elyanna Pre:

Day by day night by night, I’m the one that trying to reach out to you.

I am here, but where are you?

Baby you seem strange to me.

 

Elyanna Chorus:

Strange to me...

Spoiler

 

 

قصتنا بلشت لما كنا صغار1

كانت أيامنا حلوة وما كان حدا منّا يغار

هلأ إحساسك ضايع أنت دائما اللي محتار

لما قالولك عني

That I am a super star

 

 

‏يوم بيوم

ليل بليل

صوتي يللي بنادي عليك

أنا هون أنت وين

يا حبيبي غريب عليّ

غريب عليّ ،

غريب عليّ

 

قلبي معاك ومش بعيد

انا وين وانت وين

انت غريبة وانا غريب

من تونس لفلسطين

يا قلبي ما تلومينيش

دنيا صعيبة نحب نعيش

راجل وسيد الرجالة

و بغيري ما تقارنيش

انت ليا

 

انا وانت مش متاع الناس هاذيا

هارب مالكلاب الي تنهش فيك وفيا

امازيغي وعاشق في طفلة عربية

قلبي فلسطيني وما نبيعش القضية

 

وانا وياك ما نتفارقو كان كي نموتو، نموتو، نموتو

والايام يفوتو، يفوتو

 

‏يوم بيوم

ليل بليل

صوتي يللي بنادي عليك

أنا هون أنت وين

يا حبيبي غريب عليّ

غريب عليّ ،

غريب عليّ

 

ويزيني ما قاسيت

وانت من بالي ما نسيت

دنيا غلات وانا معاك

لا بعت ولا شريت

انت سوم وهوما سوم

انت كوم وهوما كوم

انت البارح وانت غدوة

وانت الي معايا ليوم

يالحبيبة

 

انت الي معايا فالفرحة و فالمصيبة

الدنيا حلو ومر وزيد الناس غريبة

وتوبة مالناس الي ماعادش فيهم طيبه

مشيت بقلبي وهاني نخلص فالضريبة

 

وانا وياك ما نتفارقو كان كي نموتو، نموتو، نموتو

والايام يفوتو، يفوتو

 

‏يوم بيوم

ليل بليل

صوتي يللي بنادي عليك

أنا هون أنت وين

يا حبيبي غريب عليّ

غريب عليّ ،

غريب عليّ

 ESPAÑA 

 

Tanxugueiras - Terra

 

 

My pick for this year is "Terra", a song that took the 3rd place in Benidorm Fest, our National Final for Eurovision. This is going to be the first time that Spain will be represented in TISC by a song in a co-official language, in this case Galician (although the song also includes a sentence in Basque, Catalan and Castilian/Spanish).

 

Gallego!!!!! I love Galicia: nice people, beautiful language, delicious food.... :D 

[kungshamra71 892]

 PORTUGAL 

 

As someone living abroad, the annual edition is always a challenge for me as each year i feel i'm getting further away from "what's happening in Portugal", specially in music.

 

Still, and although not a huge fan of this song, i chose it because of what it means: the good relations between Portugal and the other Portuguese speaking countries 

 

I have no idea if this is also normal for other nations (like spain, england, france), but i find really cool that whenever any other Portuguese speaking nation is playing anywhere, in Portugal the big majority of people supports those nations (when Portugal gets kicked out of the 2022 World Cup, for example, i will with no doubts cheer for our "povo irmão", Brasil), and the other way around is also true (the celebrations in Angola or Cape Verde when Portugal won the Euro were amazing). I really like this friendship spirit, and i think this song is all about that
