Ruslan Alenho - Hasta La Vista
You shone on me like a blinding star
I’ve just never seen such a light so far
All my days like fairy tales
I begged you to look in my loving eyes
But you were as cold as Arctic ice
And your laugh
Has killed my love
The story is close to the final cut
It won’t be the end but a running start
So don’t be upset please don’t ask me why
I say goodbye
Hasta la vista baby
I'm gonna miss you maybe
You can be really happy
Though it’s not fair
Hasta la vista baby
I'm gonna miss you maybe
Hasta la vista blame me
But I don’t care
No way to repair the broken glass
There’s nothing to share nor to discuss
Now I see
You’re not for me
You’ve cast me away to a desert shore
You’ve shattered my heart now you keep the score
Have a rest
You’ve done your best
The story is close to the final cut
It won’t be the end but a running start
So don’t you pretend you can’t get it why
I say goodbye.
Hasta la vista baby
I'm gonna miss you maybe
You can be really happy
Though it’s not fair
Hasta la vista baby
I'm gonna miss you maybe
Hasta la vista blame me
But I don’t care
Hasta la vista
Hasta la vista
There is nothing original about this song, not even the name... I mean in 2003, Belarus' next door neighbour, the Ukraine, with their first Eurovision Entry also recorded a song called 'Hasta La Vista'.... Obviously the Terminator series is taking a while to get around the former Russian States. Maybe Armenia will have a song called 'Hasta La Vista' in 2013
I am scared by how at the start of this song, the singer stands so intensely still... I hate to say this but.... I think he needs to go to the 'Idol' School of performance technique.... not good. Last years success for Belarus I fear was more charity, I hope Europe is not so charitable this year.
Belarus have made it from the semi once, last year, even with the political voting of Eurovision, it appears that Belarus is certainly not the Bella of Russia who have been slightly more successful. Belarus have had things like Polina Smolova singing 'Mum' to get them through... perhaps she should have kept mum...
