Totallympics Open International Song Contest 2017


 Share

Recommended Posts

Alright people, I have found the entry for the United States this time around, and I'm pretty much going the same route as I did when we started holding these contests in 2013.

 

Dia Frampton, from Draper, Utah, is the latest artist to be recruited (by me) to enter the contest, with her song "The Broken Ones". She was the lead singer of her band Meg & Dia, alongside her sister Meg Frampton (and later several other members) and came in second on the inaugural season of The Voice in the US (yes, the same show where Christina Grimmie got her fame).

 

Additional tidbit: Today (October 2) is her 30th birthday

I know they've hurt you bad.
Wide, the scars you have.
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones,
All you faults to me make you more beautiful.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.

You don't have to drive,
With your headlights off.
It's a pocketknife,
Not a gift from god.
Don't you learn of love from the love they kept.
I will be your anchor slowly,
Step by step.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.

Maybe we can rip off the bandage.
Maybe you will see it for what it is.
Maybe we can burn this building,
Holding you in.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.

So this year I decided to continue with the logic from the past 2 or 3 contests, and instead of showing you a "popular" song to please the majority, I will keep showing you great portuguese music from different musical genres, in hope I can let you get to know more about my country's musical culture.

 

Therefore, after showing you Fado, Metal and some more african-portuguese music, it's time to show you one of the best musical composers of Portugal, in an instrumental-only song (the first time in TISC?): Rodrigo Leão.

Neno Belan & Fiumens - Rijeka Snova ("The River Of Dreams")

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

(in Croatian)

 

Svud osjećam te oko sebe
i stalno ćutim one riječi
koje su mi potrebne.

Znam vezao sam se uz tebe,
al' pružila si mi slobodu
dugo sam je tražio.

R:
Rijeka snova,vrelo nade,
vrtlog želja, život moj
našao sam sve na ovoj obali.

Moje oči sad trepere
poput zvijezda sjaje se
u daljinu gledam ljubav,
ovdje je..

uhuu,tko si ti
što me ljubiš tako nježno
dok na nebu sviće zora,
uhuu,tko si ti
što te slušam kako dišeš,
blizu uspavanog mora.

 

 

(in English)

 

I feel you everywhere around me
And all the time I feel those words that I need
You know, I tied myself to you,
but you gave me freedom
I was looking for it long time
 
The river of dreams, source of hope, whirl of desires,
my life, I've found everything on this shore
My eyes are blinking now, they're shining like the stars
I'm looking at the distance, love is there
 
Who are you? You're kissing me so tenderly
while the dawn is coming in the sky
Who are you? I'm listening to your breath
Near the sleeping sea
 
I feel you everywhere around me
And all the time I feel those words that I need
You know, I tied myself to you,
but you gave me freedom
I was looking for it long time
 
The river of dreams, source of hope, whirl of desires,
my life, I've found everything on this shore
My eyes are blinking now, they're shining like the stars
I'm looking at the distance, love is there
 
Who are you? You're kissing me so tenderly
while the dawn is coming in the sky
Who are you? I'm listening to your breath
Near the sleeping sea

 

nooo, why you changed?

Fito Paez - Mariposa Tecknicolor

 

Hope you like this song, it came out in 1994 and it's a popular song even to this day. BTW the correct title of the song is the one I wrote above, not the one in the video, but it doesn't really matter :p There is spanish lyrics in the video and an english translation below (I tried my best with it, but the lyrics are bit difficult).

Technicolor Butterfly

 

All the mornings I lived through

All the streets where I hid

The enchantment of love

The sacrifice of my mothers

The charol shoes

 

Sundays at the club

Except Christ is still there in the cross

The columns of the cathedral 

and the grades shouting "goal!" on monday by the capital

 

All of them go round and round

All of them under the sun

Life is projecting

Technicolor butterfly

 

Every time you look at me

Every sensation

Life is projecting

Technicolor butterfly

 

I saw their faces of resignation

I saw them happy

Full of pain

 

They cooked

The rice rising up

It's principles of subtle emperor

 

Everything finally happened

It's just that time didn't wait for them

The melancholy of dying in this world

and of living without a stupid reason

 

All of them go round and round

All of them under the sun

Life is projecting

Technicolor butterfly

 

Every time you look at me

Every sensation

Life is projecting

Technicolor butterfly

 

I know you from before

From before yesterday

I know you from before

When I went away

I didn't go far

 

I'm carrying the singing voice

I'm carrying the lights of the train

I'm carrying an errant path

I'm carrying your traces in my skin

And only today I see you again (x3)
