The song of Cyprus for the Eurovision 2008

here are lyrics..

Paolo Meneguzzi - Era Stupendo


C'è una parte di me
che tacere non sa
quando guardo l'odio che c'è
il dolore, la povertà
mi rivedo bambino io
che correvo nel blu

Era stupendo volare via, sfidare il vento, la fantasia
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia, era stupendo

Ma una notte vedrai
dal destino uscirò, giuro
se la vita ci aspetterà
torneremo laggiù

Sarà stupendo volare via, sfidare ancora la fantasia
e poi la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia
era stupendo, era stupendo

perchè non c'è pace finchè
tutti pensano a sè
era stupendo volare via, sfidare il vento, la fantasia...
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia.
era stupendo, era stupendo

thanks y!

welcome
and about translation

Greece has decided. The song that will represent greece is My secret combination.
Between us, i don't like it much, but greek people likes this song.

@velvet_sky@ I've translated the song era stupendo, but I can't understand the meaning of one phrase. I'll talk with a friend who teaches italian and you'll have it (i hope soon). Kisses

thanks maria_gr

Μ' έκαψες
M'ekapses

Στη ζωή δεν υπάρχει σιωπή
Sti zoi den iparxei siopi
είν' ο χρόνος φτερό που πετάει
ein' o xronos ftero pou petaei
ασ' τα δήθεν τα πρέπει τα μη
as' ta dithen ta prepei ta mi
το κοστούμι δεν πάει σε κορμί
to kostoumi den paei se kormi
που Θεό τρελά πάντα αγαπάει
pou Theo trela panta agapaei

Σαν τσιγάρο άφιλτρο στο στόμα μου
San tsigaro afiltro sto stoma mou
μ' έκαψες, μ' έκαψες
m'ekapses, m'ekapses
βλέπω τα σημάδια σου στο σώμα μου
vlepo ta simadia sou sto soma mou
μ' έκαψες, μ' έκαψες
m'ekapses, m'ekapses
Σαν τσιγάρο άφιλτρο στο στόμα μου
San tsigaro afiltro sto stoma mou
μ' έκαψες, μ' έκαψες
m'ekapses, m'ekapses
βλέπω τα σημάδια σου στο σώμα μου
vlepo ta simadia sou sto soma mou
μ' έκαψες, μ' έκαψες
m'ekapses, m'ekapses

Όμως δεν μπορώ να κάνω αλλιώς
Omos den mporo na kano allios
αφού σε θέλω σαν τρελός
afou se thelo san trelos
με καις αγάπη μου, με καις
me kais agapi mou, me kais
μ' αυτά που κάνεις και που θες
m'avto pou kaneis kai pou thes

Στη ζωή δεν υπάρχει καημός
Sti zoi den iparxei kaimos
και το τέλος δεν ήρθε ακόμα
kai to telos den irthe akoma
βγάλ' τα μαύρα, τα γκρι, βγες στο φως
vgal' ta mavra, ta gkri, vges sto fos
μη ρωτάς πότε, πού, τι και πώς
mi rotas pote, pou, ti kai pos
την αγάπη μας ντύσε με χρώμα
tin agapi mas ntise me xroma

I finally took the correction of this phrase: era stupendo volare via, so I'll paste the translation.

Era Stupendo
It was wonderful

C'è una parte di me
There’s a part of me
che tacere non sa
that it doesn’t know to remain silent
quando guardo l'odio che c'è
when i see the hate that exists
il dolore, la povertà
the pain, the poverty
mi rivedo bambino io
I see myself when i was i child
che correvo nel blu
that I was running in the blue

Era stupendo volare via, sfidare il vento, la fantasia
It was wonderful to fly away, to defy the wind, the imagination
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia, era stupendo
your hand and mine, in the same poetry, it was wonderful

Ma una notte vedrai
But one night you’ll see
dal destino uscirò, giuro
I’ll get out of my destiny, i promise
se la vita ci aspetterà
if life wait for us
torneremo laggiù
we will return down there

Sarà stupendo volare via, sfidare ancora la fantasia
It will be wonderful to fly away, to still defy the imagination
e poi la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia
and then your hand and mine, in the same poetry
era stupendo, era stupendo
it was wonderful, it was wonderful

perchè non c'è pace finchè
cause there isn’t peace till
tutti pensano a sè
everybody thinks of himself
era stupendo volare via, sfidare il vento, la fantasia...
it was wonderful to fly away, to defy the wind, the imagination...
la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia.
your hand and mine, in the same poetry.
era stupendo, era stupendo
it was wonderful, it was wonderful

Bravo maraki.
The translations to german, english and french can be found in the following link
http://www2.rtsi.ch/eurovision/canzone.htm

But there's a problem with the song... It lasts 3.25 while the maximum must be 3.03. Secondly people on stage must not exceed 5. So in the youtube's video we can see 8 dancers and the singer.... that is something that will change when we'll see the song on ESC's stage.
