Eurovision 2010 Lyrics: Belgium, Tom Dice with “Me and My Guitar”



People always say: “Tom, this is going too far”
I’m not afraid to change my dreams
Just me and my guitar

And no one may ever know
The feelings inside my mind
‘Cause all of the lines I ever write
Are running out of time

So maybe I should get a nine to five
And I don’t wanna let it go
There’s so much more to life

Tell me, did I get it wrong?
Tell me everything will be okay
And before I fall
Tell me they’ll play my songs
And tell me they’ll sing the words I’ll sing
When darkness falls
All of the stars will see
Just me and my guitar

Surely I’ll find my way
‘Cause I’m not afraid to try
Even a world of love and hope
Can’t guarantee that prize

So maybe I should get a nine to five
And I don’t wanna let it go
There’s so much more to life

Tell me, did I get it wrong?
Tell me everything will be okay
And before I fall, no no
Tell me they’ll play my songs
And tell me they’ll sing the words I’ll sing
When darkness falls
All of the stars will see
Just me and my guitar,
Me and my guitar

1985 - Belgium - Linda Lepomme - Laat me nu gaan Let me go now

1985 - Belgium
Performed by: Linda Lepomme
Music by: Pieter Verlinden
Lyrics by: Bert Vivier
Conductor: Curt-Eric Holmquist
Language: Dutch
Placing: 19th (7 points)



Laat me nu gaan Let me go now
Laat me nu gaan, zeg niets meer, laat me nu gaan Let me go now, say no more, let me go now
Voel je dan niet, jouw woorden helpen mij al lang niet meer Don't you feel, your words are not helping me anymore for a long time
Toe, laat me gaan, vergeet me, laat me toch gaan Please, let me go, forget me, please let me go
Zag je dan nooit dat zonder warmte geen liefde kan leven? Didn't you ever see that no love can live without warmth
En ik mijn leven opnieuw wil dromen And that I want to dream my life again
Alsof ik jou nooit had ontmoet? As if I had never met you?

Nooit wil ik weer bij jou zijn, jij doet me pijn Never again I want to be with you, you hurt me
Nooit wil ik weer me door een ander laten leven Never again I want someone else to live my life
Raak me niet aan, nee, raak me niet aan Don't touch me, no, don't touch me
Laat me alleen, ik zag de wereld alleen door jouw ogen Leave me alone, I saw the world only through your eyes
Voel me bedrogen, ik hield van jou I feel betrayed, I loved you
Dat heb jij nooit verstaan, nooit verstaan You never understood that, never understood

Zie je nou wat ik jou steeds maar zeggen wou? Do you see now what I always wanted to tell you?
Dan weet je ook hoelang een lege nacht kan duren Then you also know how long an empty night can last
Als je hoopt en wacht, doodop en moegedacht When one hopes and waits, exhausted and tired of thinking
Besef je nou dat iets in mij zal breken als ik jou verlaat? Do you realise now something in me will break when I leave you?

Laat me niet gaan, kijk me toch aan Don't let me go, please look at me
Laat me niet gaan, laat jij me zomaar gaan? Don't let me go, do you really let me go like this?

Avanti la vie Go forward in life
Avanti, avanti la vie Go forward, go forward in life
Traverse la mémoire des hommes Remember the history of mankind
Du cœur et des poings, avanti Heart and fists, go forward
Peut-être referas-tu Rome Maybe you will revive Rome

Avanti, avanti la vie Go forward, go forward in life
Sois un oiseau sans barreaux, va Be a free bird, go
Des ailes et du bec, avanti Wings and beak, go forward
Mais vole plus haut que les chats But fly higher than the cats

Le train des jours roule dans ta tête The train of the days rides in your head
Tant de détours souvent te guettent A lot of bends are often waiting for you

Avanti, avanti la vie Go forward, go forward in life
N'écoute pas toutes les lois Don't listen to all the laws
Tu en crèverais, avanti You would perish, go forward
Toutes les libertés grondent en toi All the liberties growl on you

(Avanti, avanti la vie) (Go forward, go forward in life)
Ni valet, ni roi Neither servant nor king
(Sois poète sans bourreaux, va) (Be a poet without executioners, go)
Chante aussi fort que tu pourras Sing as strong as you can
(De l'encre et des mots, avanti) (Ink and words, go forward)
Avanti la vie Go forward in life
(Écris le fou du fond de toi) (Write down the madness of your inner self)

Le train du temps parfois s'arrête The train of the time sometimes stops
Profites-en, change de tête Make the most of it, change your mind

Avanti, avanti la vie Go forward, go forward in life
Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera Help yourself, heaven will help you
Lève-toi et marche, avanti Stand up and walk, go forward
Un autre l'a dit avant moi Someone else said it before me

(Avanti, avanti la vie) (Go forward, go forward in life)
Avanti la vie Go forward in life
(Traverse la mémoire des hommes) (Remember the history of mankind)
Du cœur et des poings, avanti Heart and fists, go forward
(Du cœur et des poings, avanti) (Heart and fists, go forward)
Peut-être referas-tu Rome Maybe you will revive Rome

Si tu aimes ma musique If you like my music
C'est si doux It's so nice
Le matin se lève en musique In the morning to get up to music
Ça rend un peu fou It makes you a little crazy
Mais le réveil est plus euphorique But the awakening is more euphoric

Elle te suit It follows you
Partout pendant toute la journée Everywhere during the whole day
Et tous tes ennuis And all your worries
S'envolent aussitôt en fumée Will clear away in smoke immediately

Si tu aimes ma musique If you like my music
Chante-la avec moi Sing it with me
Si tu veux danser If you want to dance
Personne ne t'empêchera Nobody will stop you

N'est-elle pas magnifique? Isn't it magnificent?
Chante à pleine voix Sing with a full voice
Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer Bring about a vibration
Le monde tout entier To the whole world

La chanson The song
C'est ce qu'il y a de plus fantastique It's one of the most fantastic things
Aussi nous chantons That's also why we sing
Sur toutes les surfaces géographiques On every geographical surface
Le bonheur Prosperity
Se trouve souvent dans une musique Is often found in music
Et la bonne humeur And the good humour
C'est comme une fleur vraiment magique It's like a really magical flower

Si tu aimes ma musique If you like my music
Chante-la avec moi Sing it with me
Si tu veux danser If you want to dance
Personne ne t'empêchera Nobody will stop you

N'est-elle pas magnifique? Isn't it magnificent?
Chante à pleine voix Sing with a full voice
Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer Bring about a vibration
Le monde tout entier To the whole world

Si tu aimes ma musique If you like my music
Chante-la avec moi Sing it with me
Si tu veux danser If you want to dance
Personne ne t'empêchera Nobody will stop you

N'est-elle pas magnifique? Isn't it magnificent?
Chante à pleine voix Sing with a full voice
Fais qu'elle fasse vibrer Bring about a vibration
Le monde tout entier To the whole world

Samson Samson
Praat veel van veroveringen Talks a lot about conquests
Van liefde, maar dan zonder trouw About disloyal love
Je weet wel wat je moet verzinnen You know what to concoct
Voor iedere mooie vrouw For every beautiful woman

Ooh... playboy, 'k zou je graag vergeten Ooh... playboy, I'd rather forget you
Ooh ooh... niemand kan je liefde geven Ooh ooh... no one can give you love

Samson, honderden verhalen Samson, hundreds of stories
Zonder een Delilah Without a Delilah
Samson, vergeet je wilde haren Samson, forget your wild hairs
Zoek je een Delilah Find yourself a Delilah
Samson Samson

Je geeft meer om je rare vrienden You care more about your strange friends
Waarmee je luchtkastelen bouwt With whom you build castles in the air
Bij vrienden wil je vreugde vinden With friends you want to find joy
Al hou ik echt van jou Though I really love you

Ooh... playboy, ik wil met je leven Ooh... playboy, I want to live with you
Ooh ooh... niemand kan je liefde geven Ooh ooh... no one can give you love

Samson, honderden verhalen Samson, hundreds of stories
Zonder een Delilah Without a Delilah
Samson, vergeet je wilde haren Samson, forget your wild hairs
Zoek je een Delilah Find yourself a Delilah
Je liefde delen is te veel Sharing your love is too much

Ik ben je Delilah (Als jij dat wil) I'm your Delilah (If you want to)
'k Verlang zo naar jou I'm longing for you
De ware Delilah (Als jij dat wil) The true Delilah (If you want to)
Je enige vrouw Your only wife

Ooh... playboy, ik wil met je leven Ooh... playboy, I want to live with you
Ooh ooh... geen ander kan je liefde geven Ooh ooh... no one else can give you love

Samson, honderden verhalen Samson, hundreds of stories
Zonder een Delilah Without a Delilah
Samson, 'k neem je wilde haren graag Samson, I take your wild hairs gladly
Graag met me mee Gladly along with me

Samson, I love you Samson, I love you
