MOLITVA (Serbian)
Muzika: Vladimir Graić
Tekst: S. M. Mare

Ni oka da sklopim,
postelja prazna tera san,
a život se topi
i nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan.

K'o razum da gubim,
jer stvarnost i ne primećujem,
još uvek te ljubim,
još uvek ti slepo verujem.

K'o luda, ne znam kuda,
ljubavi se nove bojim,
a dane, žive rane,
više ne brojim.

Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je,
molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje.
(I) Nebo zna, kao ja,
koliko puta sam ponovila,
to nebo zna, baš kao ja,
da je ime tvoje moja jedina
molitva.

Al Bogu ne mogu
lagati sve dok se molim,
a lažem ako kažem
da te ne volim.

MOLITVA (Russian)
Music by: Vladimir Graić
Lyrics by: Andy Mikheev

Не сомкну глаз я
Пустая постель, и все как дурман
И жизнь моя тает
И исчезает как будто туман

Схожу с ума я
Одно лишь реально - мои мечты
Я просто люблю так
Я просто лишь верю, вернешься ты

Бреду я в бездорожьи
И боюсь я новой боли
А дни все тревожней
Ран не сосчитать...

Молитва
на губах моих как жар сгорает
Молитва
Твое имя повторю я снова
Небо знает как и я
Сколько раз произнесла ее я
Небо знает, ведь как и я
Только это одно имя для меня – молитва

Но богу не солгу я
Пусть молитва и святая
Но ложью будет то, что
Тебя забыла я

Молитва
на губах моих как жар сгорает
Молитва
Твое имя повторю я снова
Небо знает как и я
Сколько раз произнесла ее я
Небо знает, как и я
Только это одно имя для меня – молитва

Только твое имя – молитва..

First rehearsal of final

Well... highlight of it definetely was host Mikko listing 63 Russian composers he know in a minute or so with a speed of light. We just loved that, if some one has it recorded - let me know.

The opening was perfect. As opening of semi was bad, they put all resorces into it and it was just amazing, the most expensive video in Finnish history with Lordi as highlight of it.

Speaking about the performances, there were no major flaws, all were pretty decent. Koldun didn't attempt high note and there was no blood in performance of Hayko. Frenchs are still murdering their song and Finland is heading for another low finish (finnish?) for hosts. Ukraine is amazingly accepted in the hall and starts as a huge favourite. Moldova is biggest dark horse.
