Will this be the first time a home nation doesn't enter a song? Stay tuned

 

I am going for 'No'

I hope I didn't leave out anyone.

 

Interesting that some users seem to come back every time for TISC, yet I barely ever see them post in actual sports threads

41 nations. Looks like AGAIN there could be either 35 or 41 nations, and never something in between.

 MALTA

 

Ħelwa tal-Għaġeb by Bernie and Pod

 

After days of deliberation the Maltese TAISC Committee (made up of me, myself and Glen) decided to submit another song in the Maltese language for the 10th Edition of the Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018. Hope you'll like it. 

 

 

 

Lyrics in Maltese

 

Ħelwa tal-Għaġeb

 

Ilmaħtek fil-bogħod titbissem fil-kwiet

tidħakli bis-serqa, saħħartni bis-skiet

imfawwar bil-ġmiel

bħall-ġamar fil-lejl

dak il-wiċċ

 

Int ġawhra tad-dinja f’ħajti twelidt

bħal djamant mill-isbaħ, li fl-aħħar jien sibt

bit-tjieba u bl-għożża

int l-aqwa ġojjell

ta’ kull żmien

 

Ħelwa tal-għaġeb

idħakli fis-skiet

fl-imħabba urini

li tħobbni bla tmiem

 

Int fjura mill-isbaħ, kulur fjurit

li tfewwaħ u ssebbaħ qlub imsewdin

twarrad f’Rebbiegħa

int l-isbaħ għalija

b’dak il-ġmiel

 

Bexxaqtli xofftejk u ħmaru ħaddejk

ħallejtni nintilef fil-ħarsa t’għajnejk

f’dan in-namur

inħoss li int żgur

il-futur

 

Ħelwa tal-għaġeb

idħakli fis-skiet

fl-imħabba urini

li tħobbni bla tmiem

 

 

Lyrics in English

Amazingly Sweet

I saw you far away, smiling silently
secretly laughing, astonishing me with your silence
filled with beauty
like embers in the night
that face

You were born in my life gem of the world
like a wonderful diamond, that I finally found
with righteousness and goodness
you're the best jewel
of all time

Amazingly sweet
smile at me in silence
in love show me
that you love me endlessly

You are a wonderful flower, flowery color
to give fragrance and enriches broken hearts
flowering in spring
you're the most beautiful to me
with that beauty

You closed my lips and your cheeks became red
you left me wondering in the look in your eyes
in this flirt
I feel that you're sure
the future

Amazingly sweet
smile at me in silence
in love show me
that you love me endlessly

 RUSSIA

I'm sorry for the delay. Too many good songs in Russia. It was a difficult choice. But the jury conferring decided to send this song to the contest

Polina Gagarina - Disarmed

First verse:

Everything will go by and you will stay

And there are a million reasons for it.

Now I can't handle it alone,

I need you.

Our orbits connected,

We see a world that doesn't exist.

The thing that attracts me to you like a magnet

Is no more a secret for anyone.

 

Chorus:

I'm disarmed,

Because I need you so much.

I really need you,

I need you, I need you.

The legend is ruined.

I'm disarmed,

I need you so much.

I need you, I need you.

(I'm) disarmed,

I need you so much,

I need you, I need you.

(I'm) disarmed,

I need you so much,

I need you, I need you.

 

Second verse:

The heart is like brittle glass,

Save it, please.

No matter what will happen to us,

Don't run away from me.

Our orbits connected,

We see a world that doesn't exist.

The thing that attracts me to you like a magnet

Has long been no secret.

 

Chorus:

I'm disarmed,

Because I need you so much.

I really need you,

I need you, I need you.

The legend is ruined.

I'm disarmed,

I need you so much.

I need you, I need you.

(I'm) disarmed,

I need you so much,

I need you, I need you.

(I'm) disarmed,

I really need you,

Need you, need you.

 

I'm disarmed,

Because I really need you.

I need you so much,

I need you, I need you.

 

I'm disarmed.

I'm disarmed.

I'm disarmed,

Because I need you so much.

I really need you,

I need you, I need you.

(I'm) disarmed,

Because I need you so much.

I really need you,

Need you, need you.

I'm disarmed.

And the suspense rises as the host are the last who are yet to post a song. Surely something intriguing is coming up.

Half a day to go and only the host nation (whose jury members are online on Totallympics often enough) to post a song, nice

I wonder what are the odds that Vini, Titicow and Felipe will in fact enter their own song (or some cover), causing this dramatic build-up.

Perhaps @heywoodu should send his trademark aggressive reminder?? It worked on Norway

But Brazil already posted about the deadline last night, I have no doubt about them being in time
