Lilian's Eurovision poem 2013

"Lilian's Eurovision poem 2013" is my personal tribute to the contest. It is built of the 39 song titles and the Eurovision theme "We Are One". Surprisingly not (!), many of the songs are about love and the Israeli song "Rak Bishvilo" = "Only For Him" is the title. 

To reach a better flow I decided to go for a full English version. The translated titels are in cursive. I also had to add some small conjunctions. Below you can see the song per country and original title.

"Only For Him"

"Only Champions" fall "Straight Into Love". "Believe In Me" – "You" are "A Million". "Something" "Glorious" with a "Gravity" as a "Waterfall’. "Love Is Everywhere" and "I’m Alive". A "New Beginning" for "You And Me". 

But "What If" Love Kills" my "Identity" and gives me "Hard Times" with "Only Teardrops"? "Hell And Me" "We are one" so "Here We Go" with my "Crisalide" "Birds" to the "Igranka-Party" at "Lonely Planet" "Solayoh", where "Alcohol Is Free".

"Darling" - "If You Remember Me" "Tomorrow". "Hold Me", "Marry Me" and "I Feed You My Love". "Only Love Survives" like a "Shine" "Before The Sunset". I’m "With You Until The End". It’s "Necessary", "It's My Life".

A poetic tribute to Eurovision 2011

It was a sunny day in the park around the corner. Inspired by the singing birds and the Swedish author August Strindberg who was looking at me from above, I got a creative kick. 43 song titles are enough to create a kind of poetic tribute to Eurovision Song Contest 2011.
En solig eftermiddag i Tegnérlunden. Inspirerad till tonerna av fågelkvitter och med August Strindbergs storvuxna lekamen som blickar ner från ovan. Då aktiveras den kreativa ådran. Är det månne någon som klagat över lyriken i Eurovisionslåtarna? De 43 sångtitlarna är i alla fall tillräckligt 'lyriska' för att skapa en form av hyllningspoesi till Eurovision Song Contest 2011.

My “Love In Rewind” was like a “Haba Haba” and I loved you like a Greek angel “San Aggelos S’agapisa”. I was “Na Inat” and stubborn like a “Rusinka” woman. I said “I Love Belarus” but you said that “The Secret Is Love”. I was “Running Scared” and started to look for a “New Tomorrow”.

In “Sognu” I lost myself in a Corsican dream. I could “Feel The Passion” when my heart went “Boom Boom”. It was “Madness Of Love” and I was “So Lucky”. Like a “Ding Dong” “Angel” I was “In Love For A While”. For “One More Day” I was dancing me away in “Que Me Quiten Lo Bailao”.

With “Lipstick” of “Vaniljia” I felt magic like a “Caroban”. I wanted to “Celebrate” at “Rockefeller Street”. “I’m Still Alive” like an “Angel In Disguise”. “Watch My Dance” and let me be “Da Da Dam” “Popular”. “C’est Ma Vie” – it’s my life and “No One“ can “Change” it. “Jestem” here I am.

But “What About My Dreams” where I’m “Taken By A Stranger”? What about “One Life” where I fight for joy like a “Lute é Alegria”?  I want to “Live It Up” and “Stand By” you. I want to “Get You” “With Love Baby”. I’m sure “I Can” and now I’m “Coming Home”. Home to Eurovision where I’m “Never Alone” and where I feel my heart beat.

A poem needs to be recorded and the shining Stockholm was a perfect background.
Ett poem bör också finnas i filmversion och ett soligt Stockholm är då en perfekt bakgrund.
