The table is only up to date as far as @rybak‘s post yesterday with the list of participants. I will add Ruslan and the other selected songs tomorrow. But have a look through the list to see if there are any other omissions, it’s been a long week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrv86 3,138 Posted October 3, 2020 #172 Share Posted October 3, 2020 MEXICO ¡Hola Fellow Totallympics Members! It is with the greatest pleasure that the Mexican Jury is once more submitting an entry for your consideration for this edition to be held in the beautiful city of Apeldoorn. This time our selection, taken since last October, it's in line with a number of fellow entries that have decided to take a trip to past times and share with contemporary audiences their country's unique legacy in music. As for the Mexican song itself, we are proud to announce a musical arrangement and lyrics that convey a wide array of feelings, if sadness and nostalgia are the prevailing ones. But don't let this description predispose your senses, as this melody written originally to honor and remember the absence of a mother's love, has equally being related to the feeling of a passionate relationship, both situations most people in the world can relate to. Written in 1970 by Robert Cantoral, this ballad was powered by the amazing rendition of Mexico's "Song Prince", José Romulo Sosa Ortiz, better known as José José a name that probably doesn't ring a bell outside Hispanic nations, where he was greatly admired, before passing away on September last year. Without further introduction, ladies and gentlemen present you José José - "El Triste" Lyrics in Spanish Spoiler Que triste fue decirnos adiósCuando nos adorábamos másHasta la golondrina emigróPresagiando el final Que triste luce todo sin tiLos mares de las playas se vanSe tiñen los colores de grisHoy todo es soledad No se si vuelva a verte despuésNo se qué de mi vida seráSin el lucero azul de tu serQue no me alumbrará Hoy quiero saborear mi dolorNo pido compasión ni piedadLa historia de este amor se escribióPara la eternidad Que triste, todos dicen que soyQue siempre estoy hablando de tiNo saben, que pensando en tu amor, en tu amorHe podido ayudarme a vivirHe podido ayudarme a vivir Ohhh, ohhh, ohh (x2) Hoy quiero saborear mi dolorNo pido compasión ni piedadLa historia de este amor se escribióPara la eternidad Que triste, todos dicen que soyQue siempre estoy hablando de tiNo saben que pensando en tu amor, en tu amorHe podido ayudarme a vivirHe podido ayudarme a vivirHe podido ayudarme a vivir Lyrics in English (free translation) Spoiler How sad was to say goodbyeWhen we adored each other the most Even the swallow migratedforeshadowing the end How sad everything looks without youThe seas leave the beachesColors are dyed in grayToday eveything is loneliness I don't know if I'll see you againI don't know what will become of mewithout your blue bright starthat wil not light me up Today I want to gloat over my painI don't ask for compassion nor mercyThis love story was writtenfor eternity How sad, everyone says of meThat I'm always speaking of youThey don't know that thinking about your love, about your loveI've been keeping myself alive I've been keeping myself alive Ohhh, ohhh, ohh (x2) Today I want to gloat over my painI don't ask for compassion nor mercyThis love's story was writtenfor eternity How sad, everyone says of meThat I'm always speaking of youThey don't know that thinking about your love, about your loveI've been keeping myself alive I've been keeping myself alive I've been keeping myself alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vojthas 949 Posted October 3, 2020 #174 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I need to say that negotiations with @rybak were as hard as we both seemed to like all the proposals given by both of us and we somehow managed to choose our participant.

Vektor 3,326 Posted October 3, 2020 #178 Share Posted October 3, 2020 FYI to everyone, you should check if your video is blocked somewhere, this site can help: https://watannetwork.com/tools/blocked/ For example, you can see where the submitted Mexican video is blocked: https://watannetwork.com/tools/blocked/#url=9z5PU9H-b28 dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted October 3, 2020 #179 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Portuguese video seems to be blocked in the same countries as well. It's becoming increasingly difficult to organize a contest. We are living in dark times. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,326 Posted October 3, 2020 #180 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Holy shit, the original US video is blocked literally everywhere except the US. @Olympian1010 The second video that you posted is available everywhere, you should replace the original video with that in your announcement post. Edit: Oh, wait, we are directly linking the YT videos in the "Participating Nation" table, not the announcement posts. In that case... you can ignore this post.
