Tu esi, tu esi vasarâ!
Vçjð, kas jûras vçjð,
Mums smiltîs pçdas dzçð,
Vçjð, kas viïòus plçð,
Mûs aiznes vasarâ.
Who remembers this?
Oh go on, who knows it?
It's on repeat here!
I've listened to it more than to Kylie's new album.
It's the latvian entry to the Junior Eurovision Contest of course!
Didn't see it? Didn't see the presumably russian gymnast leftover costumes from the seventies that they (Latvia) were wearing?
You mean to tell me you missed the bad jokes the "funny" presenters tried to pull off? The brat-act X!nk perfected? The Croat winning the event with an Elton John - jacket + song?
Well... you've missed one of the main events of the year then...
Granted, I didn't think I'd like it much either, where's the room for camp in a kiddie's festival after all? But it's still Eurovision, it's still the inexplicable lyrics you "translate" among yourselves (fili gia panta by Nicolas Ganopoulos (yep, Greece) became "I want a panda") and then sing along too. It's still the costumes and the points and the... -hang on I need to breathe before I forget in all my excitement-... It's brilliant. And now I've become a huge fan of a very bad song.
At least that's everyone tells me it's bad, but I find it very addictive.
Viva Dzintar!
PS: translation for those whose Latvian isn't all that: "Wind, O wind of the sea
Set our sandy footprints free, Wind that tears the waves alee, Sweep us into summertime"
PS2: Le Feux de Perrie's favourite (FYR Macedonia) ended up at the bottom of the list. It was a good song, but there's a consistency in the fate that awaits Le Feux' favourite entries... they're doomed!
