Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

Lyrics   Stajna konna aħna
L'għadna qed ngħoddu s-snin
Stajna konna aħna
Niddiskutu hux destin
Biss li kien, li sar
Iġibni noħlom waħdi u ngħid
Stajna konna aħna
Imma issa skadielna l-ħin
Stajna konna aħna
L'għadna l-kenn fl-inżul
Stajna konna aħna
Il-bla paċenzja f'kull dulur
Qed narak mill-bogħod
Inlissen l-istess kliem u ngħid
Stajna konna aħna
Bik mhux haw' jiena tlift kull kulur F'dinja oħra forsi daqsxejn differenti l-kanzunetta
B'vers ftit isbaħ ħalli malli tisma' tkun aktar kuntenta
Bi kliem li ma smajtx
U b'titlu li ma jgħidx
'Stajna Konna Aħna' Stajna konna aħna
L'għadna kuntenti t-tnejn
Stajt kont jien
Li ntbaħt li għani b'ftit li xejn
Gie l-irżieħ, il-ksieħ, il-bard
Għax issa indunajt
Spiċċajna aħna
Li flok data, illum għandna tnejn F'dinja oħra forsi daqsxejn differenti l-kanzunetta
B'vers ftit isbaħ ħalli malli tisma' tkun aktar kuntenta
Bi kliem li ma smajtx
U b'titlu li ma jgħidx
'Stajna Konna Aħna' Żgur m'hemmx kliem
Li jġib lura l-aħna
Għax ħsibt kull ħsieb
Inniżżel u ntella'
Bil-vojt imtlejt
Weġibt bla ma staqsejt Ma messnix ħadt daqshekk ħin biex nikkomponi kanzunetta
Issa tard, imma għal darba qed inkanta diska onesta
Bi kliem qalb dispjaċuta, b'titlu li nirrifjuta F'dinja oħra forsi daqsxejn differenti l-kanzunetta
B'vers ftit isbaħ ħalli malli tisma' tkun aktar kuntenta
Bi kliem li ma smajtx
U b'titlu li ma jgħidx
'Stajna Konna Aħna'         It could have been us
We are still counting the years
It could have been us
We are discussing whether it is fate
Only that which was, that which was done
It makes me dream alone and say
It could have been us
But now our time has run out
It could have been us
We are still the shelter in the descent
It could have been us
The impatience in every sorrow I'm seeing you from afar I say the same words and say We could have been us With you, not here, I lost every color In another world, maybe the song is a little different With a slightly more beautiful verse so that as soon as you hear it, you'll be happier With words you haven't heard And with a title that doesn't say 'We could have been us' We could have been us We still both happy I could have been me That I realized that I was rich with very little The cold, the wind, the chill Because now I realized We ended up being us That instead of a date, today we have two In another world, maybe a little different the song With a slightly more beautiful verse so that as soon as you hear it you will be happier With words you haven't heard And with a title that doesn't say 'We Could Have Been Us' Surely there are no words That bring us back Because I thought every thought I download and upload With the void I filled I answered without asking It shouldn't have taken me so long to compose a song It's late now, but for once I'm singing an honest song With words from a sorry heart, with a title I refuse In another world maybe the song would be a little different With a slightly nicer verse so that as soon as you hear it you'll be happier With words you haven't heard And with a title that doesn't say 'We Could Have Been Us'

Well Malta is in 

Well Malta is in 

Also if I didn't notice the scoring error in the Greek jury vote, Sweden would have won instead of Czechia
