I'm a bit late but congratulations to Serbia for the win, it's always nice when a song you enjoyed and voted for wins the contest

 

Thank you to everyone who voted for Woodkid, I knew I wanted to use that song since January so I was really impatient to see how well it would do!

 

I'm really glad about Malta winning their first ever medal, because it's a country that always chooses nice songs IMO so it's cool to see that they're finally being rewarded.

 

Last but not least, congratulations and thank you @heywoodu for being such a great host and making everything run smoothly

Little earthquake on the previous hosting site in Rijeka. Followed by another, stronger, just seconds ago.

Alright, time to send my congrats to @heywoodu for hosting the contest. It's nice to have a contest in the Netherlands (since we couldn't have Eurovision this year lmao thanks COVID). My congratulations to @NikolaB on your win and to @intoronto and especially @Glen for your podium finishes.

 

As for our entry, I can't say I'm disappointed, but I thought we would've done better. We would' explore filing lawsuits to contest this, but then again, we couldn't get our presser location right and we ended up at Four Seasons Total Landscaping Hotel in Philadelphia, so our lawsuits aren't going anywhere.

 

For now, we will thank @Agger @Wumo @Werloc @OlympicIRL @amen09 @tuniscof @intoronto @Vektor @Ruslan @Janakis for the 62 points

'Mamawah Chhanna Lal Isua'

The Northeastern state of Mizoram and it's state language ' Mizo ' debuts this TISC becoming the first ever song from North Eastern India. 

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

As we pass through this life of grief and riches
All earthly cares and fleshly lust
Is making our life miserable
Riches as comforts without god
Is but a root of troubles and frustration
But why do we need to fight for religion  
 When all god wanted is peace !

 

Can we all hold our hands and stay united
And follow the path of harmony god taught 
Wealth for the wretched and ignored 
Strength for the weakness 
Answer to all your needs is God*
Oh lord we will follow coz
God, is the perfect peace ,he remains the same

 

To save mankind from the veil of sin
He left his glory behind to live among us
To suffer the weight of our sins
But we have made the hands dirty with blood *
Can we all pledge to stop this

Oh Lord enlighten us all to follow your paths of non violence
When all god wanted is peace

 

Can we all hold our hands and stay united
And follow the path of harmony god taught 
Wealth for the wretched and ignored 
Strength for the weakness 
Answer to all your needs is God*
Oh lord we will follow coz
God, is the perfect peace, he remains the same

 

Though troubles may enter your life 
Worry not you man of faith 
Rest all your troubles to him
But i request you to please not throw your beliefs on others
Can you please stop these unwanted and meaningless riots* 
Every person has the right to his own belief

Peace is your answer to everything. 

 

Can we all hold our hands and stay united
And follow the path of harmony god taught 
Wealth for the wretched and ignored 
Strength for the weakness 
Answer to all your needs is God*
Oh lord we will follow coz
God, is the perfect peace, he remains the same

 

 

Notes:

 

God* - here refers to peace as God is considered a symbol of piece irrespective of religion

 

hands dirty with blood* - killing people over religious beliefs / majority religious group dominating minority and vice versa  by killing etc

 

Riots* - communal riots mainly. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summary 

 

The song cleverly starts with why faith is important to live on earth but questions people for fighting and creating violence over religious beliefs. 'Peace' is considered like god and maintaining peace is utmost important.It says everyone has their right to their own beliefs but  unity, harmony and especially peace is considered top priority  in life and one shouldn't impose their  religious ideologies on others. 

 

Thanks for getting this song in front of the whole world and to Indians also...Good job bro.
