I'm in Kyiv with a Fairytale: Eurovision Final part Deux!

[SuffolkNWhat]

We are a chatty bunch so we've had to start a new thread pre voting!

Our best place ever was 5th, I think, and that was before opening to Eastern Europe.

Oh, 6th, by that girl from Love, Actually.

Real music?

He's bit up himself, that's not the spirit.

This song is so boring.

Me too Brie. Sob!

Shoot me now, but it's growing on me ...

Little werewolf boy and girl meet in a magic wood and share dreams, before werewolf boy has to go back to being a wolf, and girl back to her thwarted dreams in the shop. A little bit of magic ...

Yeah I'd forgotten this, could have been from Ratatouille, when the Rat eats dinner to a Parisian sunset

Dammit I'm tired. I was excited Bulgaria was second until I realized it was Belgium that I liked not the Bieber
I am awful. I said to DH that Salvador has been taking advice from Jason "Crank" Statham not to get too excited. When he did his real music speech I imagined the gorilla putting a gun to his own head, poor ape.
Am now listening to Salvador without watching him. It is an old style croony song. But still not doing it for me.
His sister singing with him (wrote the theme tune, can sing the theme tune) is enough to dispel my mean cynicism though.
Well done Portugal

It sounds like it should be in a soundtrack to a romantic comedy, not a Eurovision winner

I hope there are celebrations in Stockwell tonight.

Probably.

I liked that song as a duet!

I liked it.
But not as much as the yodelling.
I loved that.

Only tuned In for the scores. If that's the best song then I'm not sorry I missed the rest, though I gather from the pp's that it probably wasn't?

He's a bit like Fagin with all the hand wringing

You gotta pick a pocket or twooooooo

They should have had the sister singing it all along - much better voice.

What are the lyrics in English I wonder?

I didn't enjoy so much the second time. Muso twat shouldn't have been in Eurovision if he thinks it's beneath him.

The yodeling was crap.

Oh, our national TV channel is broken. I expect they all got distracted with the champagne.

Definitely gone mad.

A bit of googling suggests that these are the lyrics, which are about as radical and meaningful as the UKs:

If one day someone asks about me
Tell them I lived to love you
Before you, I only existed
Tired and with nothing to give

My dear, listen to my prayers
I beg you to return, to want me again
I know that one can’t love alone
Maybe slowly you might learn again

My dear, listen to my prayers
I beg you to return, to want me again
I know that one can’t love alone
Maybe slowly you might learn again

If your heart doesn’t wish to give in
Not to feel passion, not to suffer
Without making plans of what will come after
My heart can love for the both of us

I'm glad they won. They've waited long enough.

paula these are the lyrics apparently:

“AMAR PELOS DOIS” ENGLISH LYRICS / TRANSLATION

If one day someone asks about me
Tell them I lived to love you
Before you, I only existed
Tired and with nothing to give

My dear, listen to my prayers
I beg you to return, to want me again
I know that one can’t love alone
Maybe slowly you might learn again

My dear, listen to my prayers
I beg you to return, to want me again
I know that one can’t love alone
Maybe slowly you might learn again

If your heart doesn’t wish to give in
Not to feel passion, not to suffer
Without making plans of what will come after
My heart can love for the both of us

I didn't think the yodelling was crap but I expect you know best
Night.

Sorry - x post!

The yodelling was ace. DH has yodelled around the house since the semi final on Wednesday night. We voted Romania and Moldova and didn't like the rest. Portugal was guff and got nil points in this house.

Ok all. Goodnight to you all and see you again in 12 months time!

Night all.
And thanks to suffolk for starting all the threads (although we appear to have lost her around half ten, sweet dreams lovely!)
