Eurovision Review: Portugal

[passionpop]

Portugal have never won in the history of Eurovision, and though I doubt they are going to win this year either, I thought I would give them a try and find out if there was a hope, an no there isn't. but anyway I gave a chance to 2B - "Amar"

(unrelated Lyrics of the day) King of Portugal by Al Stewart
Dreamed I was the King of Portugal
In a big four poster bed
Noble tapestries from wall to wall
And a crown upon my head
Bells ring and servants bring
The jewels and the robes
For the night to begin

Why would you want Jewels and robes in your bedroom before the night begins? uless it if for some kinky roll play game or something. anyway back to Eurovision, this song sounds a little like M people but without the chic with the distinctive voice (she is a chic isn't she?) except that the song is half sung in Portugese. what is it with that this year anyway. a heap of the songs are sung half in one language and half in another and I for one, am finding it annoying.

This shoulc score well in Eurovision, But I doubt it will win. I guess it was never 2B :) "Amar"


"AMAR"

O CÉU ÀS VEZES FOGE
PROCURA OUTRO LUGAR
ONDE O SOL NÃO CABE
E A LUA NÃO QUER FICAR
DE MAR EM MAR, HEY!
VER E VENCER, HEY
AMAR, AMAR, SEMPRE, SEMPRE ANYWAY,
DE MAR EM MAR, HEY!   
VER E VENCER, HEY
AMAR, AMAR, ALWAYS DAY BY DAY.
SÓ QUEM NÃO QUER AMAR
OLHA SEM VER

"TO LOVE"

At times, heaven eludes me
It goes somewhere far away
Where the sun does not fit in
And the moon just will not stay

From sea to sea, hey!
To see and conquer, hey
To love, to love, always, ANYWAY,
From sea to sea, hey!
To see and conquer, hey
To love, to love, always, DAY BY DAY.
Only those who will not love
Look and fail to see

CHORUS
HAPPY PRETTY WAY
HAPPY SHINY DAY
HAPPY PLACE TO STAY
