passionpopFrance last won Eurovision the year I was born, infact it was a few month before I came into existance. this year they have put all thier hope into Ortal, "Chacun pense à soi"
(unrelated Lyrics of the evening) Genius in France - Weird al Yankovic
I'm not the brightest crayon in the box
Everyone says I'm dumber than a bag of rocks
I barely even know how to put on my own pants
But I'm a genius in France (yeah), genius in France, genius in France
Just call it art and the French will love it, hey... anyway back to Ortal. it has a cool groove to it this song. I don't know how it translates in the engrish version, but I doubt anyone will ever hear that because the french always perform in french
Everyone hates the french though, so I doubt it will win... I would almost vote for it though... if I could... and if I could be arsed... Ortal, "Chacun pense à soi"... yeah OK
"CHACUN PENSE A SOI"
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien. Regardons autour de nous
On vit dans un monde de fous
Chacun cherche sa gloire,
Chacun cherche l’espoir.
On oublie ce qui nous entoure
Ceux qui nous donnent de l’Amour
On chasse de notre mémoire
Ce qui nous empêche d’y croire.
On laisse au bord du chemin.
Les chagrins sans lendemain,
On poursuit chacun sa route.
On laisse au bord de la route
Chacun tous ses petits doutes,
On poursuit son chemin. Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Tenir au creux de ses mains
Les clefs de notre destin,
Mener à la victoire
Tous nos rêves d’un soir.
Et on court après le temps
On passe à côté des gens,
On court après l’argent,
On se cache, on se ment.
Même si la solitude
Est notre seule attitude,
On garde en chacun de nous
L’Amour de ceux qui nous aime,
Même si on a de la peine,
On se retrouvera.
Même si la réalité
N’est pas notre vérité,
On continue à y croire
A se battre pour notre histoire.
Même si le prix à payer
Est plus cher à chaque fois,
On continue à y croire
Des espoirs pour nos espoirs.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.
Chacun pense à soi
Comme si il n’y avait que ça,
Chacun mène à bien
Que ce qu’il veut bien.

"EVERYONE THINKS ABOUT THEMSELVES"
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Let's look around us
We live in a crazy world
Everyone seeks some glory,
Everyone seeks some hope
We forget all the things around us
Those who give us love.
We dismiss from our memory
Everything that stops us believing.
We leave by the edge of the path
The short-lived sorrows.
Everyone, follow the road
and leave by its edge
every last doubt
And carry on walking.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
Holding in our hands
The keys of our destiny
Leading to victory
Our one night's dreams.
And we run after time,
We turn away from people,
We run after money,
We hide and lie to each other
Even though loneliness
Is our unique attitude,
We keep to ourselves
The love of those who love us,
Even though we feel upset,
We will meet up again.
Even if reality
Is not our truth,
We keep on believing,
And fight for our history.
Though the price to pay
Is more expensive each time,
We keep on believing
A few hopes for our new hopes.
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Just what they really want to do
Everyone thinks about themselves
As if they were the only ones,
Everyone sees it through
Only what they really want to do
