Eurovision 2010 Winner
Lyrics:
I went everywhere for you
I even did my hair for you
I bought new underwear, they’re blue
And I wore ‘em just the other day
Love, you know I’ll fight for you
I left on the porch light for you
Whether you are sweet or cruel
I’m gonna love you either way
Love, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Like a satellite, I’m in an orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can’t go a minute without your love
Love, I got it bad for you
I saved the best I have for you
You sometimes make me sad and blue
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid’s arrow is just for you
I even painted my toe nails for you
I did it just the other day
Love, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Like a satellite I’m in an orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can’t go a minute without your love
Oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Where you go, I’ll follow
You set the pace, we’ll take it fast and slow
I’ll follow in your way,
You got me, you got me
A force more powerful than gravity
It’s physics, there’s no escape
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid’s arrow is just for you
I even painted my toe nails for you
I did it just the other day
Love, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Like a satellite I’m in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can’t go a minute without your
Love, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Love, love, love, love, love
Prevod na srpski
Satelit
Išla sam svuda zbog tebe
Čak sam i frizuru sredila za tebe
Kupila sam novi donji veš, plav
I nosila sam ga baš pre neki dan
Ljubavi, znaš da ću se boriti za tebe
Ostavila sam na tremu svetlo za tebe
Bio ti ljubazan ili okrutan
Voleću te svakako
Ljubavi, oh, ljubavi, moram ti reći šta osećam prema tebi
Jer ja, oh, ja, ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Kao satelit, ja sam u orbiti svuda oko tebe
I ja bih ispala u noć
Ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Ljubavi, opasno sam zaljubljena u tebe
Sačuvala sam najbolje što imam za tebe
Ti me ponekad činiš tužnom i depresivnom
Ne bi valjalo da je drugačije
Ljubavi, moj cilj je konkretan i istinski
Kupidonova strela je samo za tebe
Čak sam namazala i nokte na nogama za tebe
Uradila sam to baš pre neki dan
Ljubavi, oh, ljubavi, moram ti reći šta osećam prema tebi
Jer ja, oh, ja, ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Kao satelit, ja sam u orbiti svuda oko tebe
I ja bih ispala u noć
Ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Oh, ljubavi, moram ti reći šta osećam prema tebi
Jer ja, oh, ja, ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Gde god išao, ja ću te pratiti
Ti određuješ tempo, ići ćemo brzo i polako
Ja ću te slediti,
Upecao si me, upecao si me
Neka sila moćnija od gravitacije
To je fizika, nema bežanja
Ljubavi, moj cilj je konkretan i istinski
Kupidonova strela je samo za tebe
Čak sam namazala i nokte na nogama za tebe
Uradila sam to baš pre neki dan
Ljubavi, oh, ljubavi, moram ti reći šta osećam prema tebi
Jer ja, oh, ja, ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Kao satelit, ja sam u orbiti svuda oko tebe
I ja bih ispala u noć
Ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Oh, ljubavi, moram ti reći šta osećam prema tebi
Jer ja, oh, ja, ne mogu ni minut bez tvoje ljubavi
Ljubavi, ljubavi, ljubavi, ljubavi, ljubavi
Who want to teach Lena how to say “saved,have,pace,bad,wore,porch”?
Is there any German who knows how to speak English?
I am German, and I think it is a catchy song. Chances are not that bad.
This is no lesson for correct English. So many other artist out there with worse English. I don’t think she is “trying” to sound English, it’s just her way to sing. For me, a song where I can understand the lyrics listening the first time is rather boring 😉
Hi folks, do you REALLY believe the votes of English native speakers are “THE” relevant ones in this contest? May be Lena should train some Russian accent, probably that would help. ;-))
Dear Dave,
one of the jury members was Raemon, and I think that he understood everything 😉
Well, and the last time I visited England, I was very confused by people saying “Daive” and “Traicy” and not “Dave” and “Tracy”, so it is quite clear that Germans imitate it (because we love imitating everything which comes from abroad ;-))))
Why are you guys whinging? Her English is cute and charming, she’s doing a bit of a British East End accent. For those who are used to run-of-the-mill American accent, I can only suggest to travel to good old England and listen to how people speak.
As for the “they’re blue”. So what it’s shortened even further to “they’ blue”. Everyone understands. This is not an educational video on Oxford English.
As for Dave’s comment: People with English as their “mutter sprache” won’t understand it all.
That’s nonsense. Native speakers of English will understand, no doubt. BTY, “Muttersprache” is “mother tongue” in English.
I love this song and I love her English… It’s kinda funny and sweet! I hope to get a good place this song!
Okay, so you don’t like the pronunciation? Why not? Lena’s performance is about being crazy and different, not about teaching others how to speak English. I understand that it might bug some that they’re not able to write down the lyrics while hearing the song, but I really like her pronunciation – it’s an important part of the song, IMHO. And you might notice that American bands (with English as their mother-tongue) have similar pronunciations sometimes, exactly because they stick out and catch attention – perfect for contests.
1st of all the song is quite good and its a catchy song in my opinion.
2nd the pronounciation is not that good i tried to get the lyrics
and especialy the part i painted my toe nails is nearly ununderstandable. Ok i’am a non native speaker but my english is quite good.
3rd I like the crazy performance , i dont know why, but it’s just amazing.
Dave, the song is perfect. Do not worry about it! Especially not about her pronunciation though I agree about the underwear part – there is something definitely wrong with it.
Regarding than and then, the comment wasn’t related to the way she is singing it but – it was a mistake in the written lyrics – it was initially written then instead of than but the reason for it was not the way she is pronouncing it! Her “than” is fine. 🙂 Click here (if you click on the flags there, you can hear both English and American pronunciation, and for then as well).
Especially when considering previous years and also when comparing with most of the other entries for Eurovision 2010, Germany should be proud! 🙂
It’s a good song, a good happy feel, up tempo and Lena can sing
BUT we need to understand ALL of what she is singing, if Germany wants to win singing in English. and please note the other grammar comments already written ie than – then .
( We haven’t forgotten ABBA’s Fernando ‘Since many Years” mistake )
The song is Ruined by her pronunctaion of some of the english words. People with English as their “mutter sprache” won’t understand it all.
ONE REALLY BAD EXAMPLE
” I bought new underware for you, they’re Blue”
She sings “They Blue” . This is BAD and sounds very un educated.
“they’re” is a short version of “they are”
it should sound like “there” or even “their” Blue.
Other words that she RUINS are ‘Day,wore,Porch,bad,saved,have,pace,physics (she needs to say the “s”), Singing at a fast pace, these words cannot be understood.
This is “schrecklich” to people who listen with English as their mother tongue. we would expect that from many of the former eastern block countries (or even a south african,who seem to say this when speaking)
Maybe she should try and be original and stop trying to sound
like a Brit, as it simply doesn’t work.
IF SOMEONE CAN COACH LENA TO SING WITH THE CORRECT PRONUNCITAION, GERMANY HAS A CHANCE, BUT WITH THIS VERSION , NO WAY WILL GERMANY WIN. Maybe NICOLE , who can sing clearly and correctly in English could coach her.
IF Germany is going to choose English as their language, Germany needs a native speaking Judge on the Jury, 3 plus 1 Brit maybe the answer.
I am writing this to help germany, I am not againist germany or lENA at all, I am a big fan of Germany and German artists, But if you want to win this Year, You need to FIX The BAD Mistakes. DO IT NOW before it’s too late. BITTE BITTE BITTE
mfg
Dave
Well, I think she could do it better. Her voice is okay, but I bet she can do it even more…powerful. But I don’t really think Germany will win -.-
(What we need is a super-super-super special talented singer, who we haven’t found yet).
Though, good luck Lena! 🙂
A great song.I’ll vote it at ESC 2010(i’m #1 fan).VOTE ROMANIA,GERMANY,MOLDOVA,SLOVAKIA,ARMENIA.
I like this song and i have to say it deserves for the final in Oslo. Good Luck, Germany.
She sings in the style of Lady Gaga.
I love the voice but music is not so good.
Pronounce soo bad………
A Winner of the ESC 2010:)
Oh please don’t tell me you’re comparing it with Miss Kiss Kiss Bang 😯
GREAT SONG Germany, finaly, but repetativ, similar to ESC 2009.
Thanks for the lyrics for this great song!
Just a little correction:
it should be: “A force more powerful _than_ gravity”
instead of: “A force more powerful _then_ gravity”
great song! Bjork meets Lilly Allen! it was about time Germany 😉
hey this is love not laugh cause she did a British accent… and she always say this for love they tell this in the show 😉 i love her she is great i hope we make a good rank =)
greetings from germany!
I’m pretty sure now it’s “love”. I listened to the studio recording (the official video clip was released yesterday). The clip is very simple but effective. No unnecessary effects or distractions. Go, Lena, go!
I LOVE HER….She will have success…I hope so!
GO GERMANY
JustinL, sonds like you’ve no idea about melodies and staff. It’s such a f**k**g great song and I already have a ear worm.
I disagree JustinL! There’s nothing wrong with her pronunciation. It’s a surprisingly catchy song! 🙂
Will be another great loss for Germany!
With just a cute singer, an awful pronounciation, only beats and no melody it’s nearly impossible to win a Song(!) Contest.
best german entry for years !
If you want to watch her presentation of the song you can watch it HERE
And her the same song, after she won the show. She was really moved about her succses, thats why she ist even stranger than she is anywa. She is just a very special person, and thats why we love her here in Germany!
hm… you might be right but it’s hard to say ❓
BTW, I really like the way she sings… This year entry is a great change for Germany!
Are you sure it’s not “I can’t go a minute without your laugh”? Both “love” and “laugh” make sense but “laugh” is what I hear her sing.
