Re: SHQIPËRIA - Albania 2011 - Aurela Gaçe - Kënga Ime

ROUGH TRANSLATION

My Song

My heart, don’t leave me with no words
I want to say it and want to sing it
Every time I come and go, like a breath I need you
In my blood you are ingrained, without you I can’t live
(For me) You become sea and become wave
You drain my tear and ignite a longing
Every time I come and go, like a breath I need you
In my blood I have you, oh you my song
E he heeeeeeeej
Wealthy I am because I have you
I’m not in earth and nothing can stop me

Today that the song you have given me
Let me share it
It has no colors and it has no words
The walls can’t contain it
It merges earth and sky, It makes me forgive and forget)
‘Cause you carry me away and you keep me alive
Nothing can stop me
E he heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej

Every time I’ll feel thirsty for you
I’ll come to you and moisten my lips
Every time I come and go
Like a breath I need you
(Something about a hand) and I become alive
Eheheheeeeeheeeeeee
Wealthy I am because I have you
I’m not in earth and nothing can stop me

Today that the song you have given me
Let me share it
It has no colors and it has no words
The walls can’t contain it
It merges earth and sky, it makes me forgive and forget
‘Cause it carries me away and keeps me alive
Nothing can stop me
E heheeeeeej jeeee jeeeeeeee e heee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaj

Today that the song you have given me
Let me share it
It has no colors and it has no words
The walls can’t contain it
It merges earth and sky, it makes me forgive and forget
‘Cause it carries me away and keeps me alive
Nothing can stop me
Heeeeeeeeee eeeeeeee eeeeeeee eeee eheheeeeeeeeeej

I like this song, but it's nothing special. Last year was much better.

I don't know what to say about this song...I need to listen it more times .A little bit forgettable,but a great stage performance can make people vote for this song.
I like the refrain :D
And an interesting orchestration ;)
Her voice is awesome,and with a new haircut I will love her more :)

I hate this. The worst Albanian entry ever for me. Two bad songs so far... :?

She really is a great performer, her live performance sounds almost exactly like the studio version (actually probably better than studio). I'm not too keen on the song but I've read that she has stated that it will be performed in English for ESC so I expect some significant changes for the final version.

Well they shouldn't change the language, but update the song a bit though.

I think a language change will bring some improvement.

But that's just a change of the language then (aka make it more generic) and not an actual update of the song.

I'm sure we will get both though, but just a change of language is not what I call updating a song though. It's like saying some languages are worth more than others :?

Quite mediocre, it's probably worth about 5 points

With the update of the song comes the change in language. It's quite a significant change and hopefully it will be one that brings improvement.

I´m a little bit dissapointed, because I expected a much better song of Albania. The entry of 2010 was really great. I don´t think, that it will have many chances to reach the final.

I don't see how just changing the language and not a single other thing will help a song :/

Offcourse it will make a difference, but if a song is so-so it will need to be updated musically and not just lyrically, this is what first should be done and then if it still isn't "good enough" they could try change the language.

Re: SHQIPËRIA - Albania 2011 - Aurela Gaçe - Kënga Ime

yes the entry was great in 2010, but look at what place Albania came in. Albania can never win ESC, even with good songs they always end up at the bottom. Thats why I like this song, Aurela's. its different then the other Albanian entries, so its time to experiment with more traditional Albanian music. I don't think she will change it in English, maybe she will promote the song with a English version. But her English is good anyway, so even if she does, it will be great.... and even if this song doesn't make it to the final, I wont get mad, because we are sending different songs, not just pop songs. I wouldn't want another song like "its all about you" this year.

Changing the language is but one part of updating the song that seems to be definitely happening. I never said that it will be the sole change and also I don't know what sort of changes they plan to do to the song. They have months to plan it out.

Still it just feels so wrong in a way to change an ethno inspired entry from native language to English..

It's like watching those old movies where everyone spoke in English, even if they were playing some sort of foreigner or other nationality, it's just meeh... :/

I gave it 5.
I think it's so-so. As somebody said already...every year Albanian song is changed a lot until the ESC in May. I think they'll make another version for the ESC which will be a bit better, I'd make it more up-tempo perhaps...and put it in English. Unlike for many other countries, it works very good for Albania when they put song into English, it becomes better somehow. So I think final version of the song will be different and better, I should vote again later...in few months.
