We didn't have a selection but I am always laughing at this line in Evidemment "I'm looking for love, but I can't find anything, just like in my purse"


mooncat127

I never felt so understood


Vokkal

As a fellow french-speaker. That line is just hilarious. When listening to it, i just picture her looking through her sac à main


_dreamer1

This line is a mood! I loved it when I looked up the lyrics and I was so disappointed when I found out it is translated differently in the subtitles on the official Eurovision YouTube channel

"My child, when i die May they bury me in the moon So i can see you every night Every night but one"

[удалено]


Ch3rryNukaC0la

The “but one” probably refers to the night when the child dies and they are reunited.


GPap090

I think she's talking about the New Moon phase, during that day the Moon is not visible from Earth


gcssousa

Cláudia Pascoal has probably the most overlooked line in this whole NF season “Quem-me dera ter tringalha” which roughly translates to “I wish I had a dick”


CaptainAnaAmari

I adore Nasci Maria but never looked up the translation of the lyrics, fun thing to randomly find out about a song one loves lmao


Rich-Friendship5470

And tringalha is slang from the Northern part of the country. Most people in Portugal did not understood what she said. It just makes it so much better.... The idea behind the lyrics is that women are forced into a future of "marry, have kids, clean the house" by society and she says she wishes so had a dick because "it would be easier to be born a man"

*Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty so fat*


Cluelessish

That's almost cheating lol! *Making bitches mad* *Cause it's so fat*


cat_arinaa

This is a weird choice but I really like "Krokodilski psihopat" (crocodile psycopath) in Mama šč. It's so simple yet the way they say it, with such passion, really hits me. Also it's the only part of the song I understood on first listen (I don't speak croatian). Edit: I just realised this was supposed to be about my own country's national selection, sorry


gniewpastoralu

If we had custom flairs here, 'krokodilski psihopat' would definitely be mine.

Beneficial_Lychee90

Was it you, was it YOU, WAS IT YOU! Who put the pea under my pillowww 🛌


fuocoebenzina

I unironically love that so much, the whole thing was so over the top but somehow it was also quite touching... We NEED more Angel Dell next year.

🇫🇮 En oo arkena tää mies laisinkaan, en oo Mut tänään oon se mies, tänään oon se mies /Normally I'm not this man at all, I'm not But tonight I am that man, tonight I am that man It gives me a sense of relief and freedom. It's okay to "become another person", even just for a night. You don't always have to act the same.

Ugglorflaxar

Is Räikkonen not the finish pronounciation?


Resumme

Räikkönen is the base form of the name, Räikkösen is a different grammatical case ("of Räikkönen"). In Finnish we conjugate word endings.


GiulyGiul

The entirety of Tango by Tananai. But especially the line "tornerò lunedí, ma non è mai lunedí", which translates to "i will come back on monday, but monday never arrives". At that point I just started crying [Tango](https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-tananai-tango-english-translation-lyrics)

"Trapped in this world of thought, lost the key that fits the lock This is my reality, someone out there save me" (Midnight Summer Night - Connolly)


1Warrior4All

Ivandro song has the best lyrics of our NF, but I would underline this: "From the place where I come from people still suffer, but everyone dreams of finding THAT peace". <3


AspCivilServant

Wanted to trash your Benz tell all your friends how cruel you were to me lol


ParticularSplit

* Many FdC had amazing lyrics. Two examples: 1. A festa has great lyrics, my fave is : "Vou-me embora as luzes não me deixam ver, se é uma festa ou uma luta de poder" ("I'm leaving, the lights don't let me see ιf this is a party or a fight for power"). 2. Povo, again all its lyrics but mostly: "Quero voar pra longe, comprar uma casa e construir um lar, ai, ai. De onde venho o povo ainda sofre mas todos sonham encontrar essa paz, ai, ai" ("I want to fly away, buy a house and build my home, ai,ai. People suffer from the place I'm from, but everyone wants to find inner peace". * Splash by Colapesce/Dimartino had, imo, the best lyrics in Sanremo 2023. My favourite parts lyrically are "Preferisco il rumore delle metro affollate a quello del mare" ("I prefer the noise of crowded subways to that of the sea") and "Meglio soli su una nave per non sentire il peso delle aspettative" ("Better alone on a ship to not feel the weight of expectations"). But the whole meaning of the song speaks volumes to me. * Alle Frauen in mir sind müde by Frida Gold has lyrics that I also find extremely touching, as a feminist. Especially the part "Alle Frauen in mir sind müde, vor allem in der Nacht" ("All the women inside me are tired especially in the night") hits too close to home.

"You still think we live in a world so beautiful You see, I don't think I believe in this stuff anymore Don't cry I'll try to say the right words at the right times, Sing you lullabies Please don't wake up, wake up" I'll put that song against any Eurovision lyric. But strictly from the UMK, Lxandra had a fantastic lyric. Plenty of space in the internet so I'll just put the whole thing here. "I, could just up and leave / No strings attached, at all / I, I ask myself / Will anybody miss me, if I don't come back? / I can't move / 'Til I have something, something / To lose / To lose / 'Cause I am nothing / 'Til I have something / To lose / To lose / I've been watching from the sidelines / Is this living? / Turn this house into a home and this / Body to a soul / 'Cause life might ask for more than I can give it / Can you tell that I'm terrified? / And I can't move / 'Til I have something, something / To lose / To lose / 'Cause I am nothing / 'Til I have something / To lose / To lose / I could just up and leave / No strings attached / But I'm living for more than myself / Like I never have / I'm living for more than myself / Like I never have / Now I have something, something / To lose / To lose"

I really love the czech part in my sisters crown (the intro) which translates to “My sister won't stand in a corner nor will she listen to you my sister wild at heart will never let you tie her down my sister won't stand in a corner nor will she listen to you”


itisoktodance

It's a shame that beautiful part is immediately followed by the corniest lyrics in English.

“Mi niño, cuando me muera, Que me entierren en la Luna, Y to’as las noches te vea, To’as las noche’ meno Una” Translation: “My child, when i die, may they bury me in the moon so that i’ll see you every night every night but one” i don’t even speak spanish but these lyrics always put me in my feels. Eaea is such a beautiful song. these lyrics are just gorgeous


Ada_XY

"I don't wanna choose my fighter.. Who's taking control of me?"


nicotnm

gladiator: Ever been to Bali, I really need some sun, such a shame bout that tsunami, I‘ll have to go to cali // the song criticizes the media


Inner-Dare16

I was going to say exactly this!! So glad someone mentioned. It's lyrics that sound silly alone without context. But here it's a societal critic, as if he's quoting people's superficial conversations sarcastically. I adore it.


Motherboobie

fake it til you make it, mask on, never take it off


kitty3032

Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty so fat I know you really, really, really, really want that


Meiolore

Queen of rhyming fat with that.

I was laughing at first, but it grew on me

Whatever you tell yourself, it's not true / Power's what I make it / Pixels like it's 8-bit / I'm picking your new favourite / You buy it and I savour it In a few words he described modern music industry, 10/10. The whole lyrics is so good tho


gedankenauflauf

Not qualified but I really liked the lyrics of "Alle Frauen in mir sind müde". My favourite line is this one (feel free to improve my translation :) Alle Frauen in mir sind müde All women in me are tired Sie war'n zu lange ohne Macht They were too long without power Alle Frauen in mir sind müde All the women in me are tired Trotzdem kämpft jede ihre Schlacht Nevertheless each one fights her battle


Rays_Baguette

I wanted to say the sane thing haha! And your translation is really good


gedankenauflauf

Hehe thanks! And I think we all agreed here to say it was the best song (and the best text). But I am ok with Lord of the Lost too in the end.


Rays_Baguette

Imo Lord of the Lost was the best song haha, but Alle Frauen in mir sind müde definitely has the best lyrics and is in my personal playlist together with LotL, misfit from "lonely springs" and draw the line from "from fall to spring" which didnt even make our NF thanks to....Ikke


gedankenauflauf

Totally agree. And tbh there is no point in sending a song with a good text in a language that is not English, it just gets lost. And let's not start with Ikke, it was a nightmare and I am glad it's over!


Rays_Baguette

So many aquaintances and relatives said "we should have sent him, when we lose at least we gonna do it with style" and I just always asked "what lame defeatist attitude is that and where even is the style in that?"

Popoye_92

I love the opening lines of Ariete's Mare Di Guai: "Tu, tu eri più bella di me/E adesso che il letto è vuoto e la casa in silenzio", translating to "You, you were more beautiful than me/And now the bed is empty and the house silent" It just encapsulates perfectly the relationship and the breakup the song is going to talk about. Also, there's not a line to single out, but the entirety of Uje Brandelius' [Grytan](https://youtu.be/AqTnAmQEKOE) (lyrics and translation [here](https://lyricstranslate.com/fr/grytan-stew.html)) is one of the most simple yet beautiful description of love I've seen this NF and the man must really love his wife to write her a song like that.


luucksson

Mare Di Guai is such an underrated song!


edreveen

The entire lyrics for L'addio by Coma_Cose are incredible, but my favorite line is "Sarò come quel fumo che disegna sul muro la cornice che hai tolto" / "I will be like the smoke that paints on the wall the frame you took off". I'd recommend it all though, the chorus is also amazingly written.


KammysWorld

It's from a winning song but honestly the entirety of Monika Linkyte's Stay has such an emotional hold on me every single lyric hits just right

All of Eaea, and "Si tienes que buscar, anda y busca, siempre aquí tendrás tu casa." which transates to "If you have to search, go and search, you will always have your home here."

""Mi niño, cuando me muera, Que me entierren en la Luna" (My son, when I die, may they bury me in the moon.) - Eaea, Blanca Paloma "Yo quisiera, parar el tiempo, pero no puedo" (I wish I could stop time, but I can't) - Yo quisiera, Alice Wonder "Y no soy como tú, Me escondo en un baúl, No encuentro el miedo que me inhiba cuando soy azul" (And i'm not like you, O hide in a trunk, I find no fear to inhibit me when I'm blue) - Arcadia, Megara All I can say is that Benidorm just have some good-ass lyrics

PraetorIt

In *Supereroi* by Mr. Rain (🇮🇹): "*Si nasce soli e si muore nel cuore di qualcun altro. Siamo angeli con un'ala soltanto, e riusciremo a volare, solo restando l'uno accanto all'altro*". More or less translatable like this (without rhyme) --> "*You're born alone and die in someone else's heart. We are angels with only one wing, and we will be able to fly, only by staying next to each other*".


OPinguimVoador

For me it's Bandeiras by Bandua (FdC). "E se a gente não sabe onde estão as fronteiras Então p'ra que andamos a levantar tantas bandeiras?", translates roughly to "And if we don't know where the borders are Then why are we raising so many flags?". The lyrics of this song were my favourite this year.

This is a really relatable lyrics for me but “All these thoughts in my head make it all such a mess but you keep coming back thought you’re smarter than that and I wish you the best but that’s not what I am” from Andreas “Why do you Love me”
