Indonesian  English

Bersamamu

Kulewati

Lebih dari seribu malam

Bersamamu

Yang kumau

Namun kenyataannya tak sejalan

 

Tuhan, bila masih ku diberi kesempatan

Izinkan aku untuk mencintanya

Namun bila waktuku telah habis dengannya

Biar cinta hidup s'kali ini saja

 

Bersamamu

Kulewati

Lebih dari seribu malam

Bersamamu

Yang kumau

Namun kenyataannya tak sejalan

 

Tuhan, bila masih ku diberi kesempatan

Izinkan aku untuk mencintanya

Namun bila waktuku telah habis dengannya

Biar cinta hidup s'kali ini saja

 

Tak sanggup bila harus jujur

Hidup tanpa hembusan nafasnya

 

Tuhan, bila waktu dapat kuputar kembali

Sekali lagi untuk mencintanya

Namun bila waktuku telah habis dengannya

Biarkan cinta ini

Hidup untuk sekali ini saja

With you

I've passed

More than a thousand nights

With you

Is what I want

But the reality is not in line

 

God, if I'm still given the chance

Allow me to love her

But when my time is up with her

Let the love to live just this once

 

With you

I've passed

More than a thousand nights

With you

Is what I want

But the reality is not in line

 

God, if I'm still given the chance

Allow me to love her

But when my time is up with her

Let love live just this once

 

If I have to be honest, I can't bear

Living without her breath around

 

God, if I could turn back time

Just one more time to love her

But when my time is up with her

Let this love

To live just this once

:ARG ARGENTINA :ARG

 

MIRANDA - "Fantasmas

                      

 

                                                                                                                                            

 

 

 

 The first time since im here that we decide to dont choose a song of our national rock for the open competition, Miranda is probably the most important "pop group" from Argentina.

 

LYRYCS 

 

 

Cuando la luz del sol iluminó
Y te quedaste viendo
Tu corazón jamás se reveló
Y le ganó el silencio

Te juro que lo vi, estaba ahí
Venía sucediendo
Le daba de comer sin fin
A tu resentimiento

Fantasmas en la casa, prometen salir
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no
No entiendo lo que pasa, me dicen que sí
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no, oh

No sé cómo salir, a dónde ir
Afuera está lloviendo
Y si te quiero herir, perdóname
Si siento lo que siento

Fantasmas en la casa, prometen salir
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no
No entiendo lo que pasa, me dicen que sí
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no

Recuerdos en mi mente, no me puedo escapar
Palabras indelebles no se dejan borrar
Mensajes inconscientes me quieren hundir
Pero no-no, no-no-no

No puedo encontrar la explicación
No hay otro culpable, solo yo

Fantasmas en la casa, prometen salir
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no
No entiendo lo que pasa, me dicen que sí
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no

Fantasmas en la casa, prometen salir
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no-no
No entiendo lo que pasa, me dicen que sí
Pero no-no-no, no-no-no

Recuerdos en mi mente, no me puedo escapar
Palabras indelebles no se dejan borrar
Mensajes inconscientes me quieren hundir
Pero no-no, no-no, ¡au!

 

 

 

ENGLISH  LYRYCS 

 

 

When the sunlight shone
And you kept looking
Your heart never rebelled
And silence won
I swear I saw itT
It was there
It was happening
Feeding endlessly
Your resentment

Ghosts in the houseF
Promise to come out but no, no, no
No, no, no
I don't understand what's happening
They tell me yes but no, no, no
No, no, no

I don't know how to get out
Where to go
It's raining outside
And if I want to hurt you
Forgive me
If I feel what I feel

Ghosts in the house
Promise to come out but no, no, no
No, no, no
I don't understand what's happening
They tell me yes but no, no, no
No, no, no
Memories in my mind
I can't escape
Indelible words
Won't let themselves be erased

Unconscious messages
They want to sink me but no, no
No, no, no

I can't find the explanation
There's no one else to blame but me

Ghosts in the house
Promise to come out but no, no, no
No, no, no
I don't understand what's happening
They tell me yes but no, no, no
No, no, no
Ghosts in the house
Promise to come out but no, no, no
No, no, noN
I don't understand what's happening
They tell me yes but no, no, no
No, no, no

Memories in my mind
I can't escape
Indelible words
Won't let themselves be erased
Unconscious messages
They want to sink me but no, no
No, no

Gordon Lightfoot - Carefree Highway

 

Using my song entry to pay respects to a Canadian music legend who sadly passed away last year. Gordon Lightfoot has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter and a pioneer of 1960's and 70's folk-pop music.

Lyrics:

 

Picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight?
Her name was Ann
And I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowing what to do

 

Carefree highway
Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway
You've seen better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you

 

Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same?
Now the thing that I call living
Is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

 

Carefree highway
I've got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway
You've seen better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you

 

Searching through the fragments
Of my dream shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind?
I guess it must be wanderlust or trying to get free
From the good old faithful feeling we once knew

 

Carefree highway
Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway
You've seen the better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you
Let me slip away on you

 

Carefree highway
I've got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway
You've seen better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you

Nice :) DIA is amazing indeed. I was actually thinking about choosing another song from her.

That song was useful to show a little of your folklore to some friends, i like you traditional customs and dance.

Stoffer & Maskinen - "Vi To Er Smeltet Sammen"

 

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

Danish (Original):

Vi to er smeltet sammen Vi kan ikke skilles mer' Men vi blev svigtet og forrådt af mine tanker Du blev forandret til en anden end før. I mine tanker bliver vi forandret indtil den dag, vi dør
 
Vi to er smeltet sammen Vi kan ikke skilles mer'
 
Selvom mine tanker er forandret og vi ikke findes mere Vil mine tanker forandre sig indtil den dag vi dør Du er min puls, der banker tungt
 
Der får mit blod til at løbe rundt For hvert er slag i hvert sekund følger du min hjerterytme rundt Du er mine tankers tyngdepunkt
 
Min lethed når jeg føles tung Og hvis jeg svæver uden grund slår du min hjerterytme rundt Du er min puls, der banker tungt Der får mit blod til at løbe rundt For hvert er slag i hvert sekund følger du min hjerterytme rundt Du er mine tankers tyngdepunkt Min lethed når jeg føles tung Og hvis jeg svæver uden grund slår du min hjerterytme rundt Vi kan aldrig vende tilbage Hviskede du til mig og sagde Helt alene og uden en dag For vi vender aldrig tilbage
 

English translation:

The two of us have melted into one
We can no longer separate
But we got deserted and betrayed by my thoughts
You were changed into another than before
In my thoughts we'll change until the day we die
 
We are melted into one
We can no longer separate
Cause even though my thoughts have changed
And we no longer exist
My thoughts will change until the day we die
 
You are my pulse heavily throbbing
That makes my blood circulate
With every beat of every second
You'll follow the rhythm of my heart around
 
You are the centre of gravity of my thoughts
My lightness when I feel heavy
And if I float for no reason
You'll pound the rhythm of my heart around
 
You are my pulse heavily throbbing
That makes my blood circulate
With every beat of every second
You'll follow the rhythm of my heart around
 
You are the centre of gravity of my thoughts
My lightness when I feel heavy
And if I float for no reason
You'll pound the rhythm of my heart around
 
We can never go back
We can never go back
You whispered to me and said
You whispered to me and said
 
All alone and without a day
All alone and without a day
Cause we will never go back
Cause we will never go back
