Here are some excerpts of the winning ESC songs:
1990: Insieme 1992 - Toto Cotugno (Italy)
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe
Con te, così lontano e diverso
Con te, amico che credevo perso
Io e te, sotto lo stesso sogno
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe
E per te, donna senza frontiere
Per te, sotto le stesse bandiere
Io e te, sotto lo stesso cielo
Insieme, unite, unite, Europe
1991: Faangad Av En Stormvind - Carola (Sweden)
Uh-huh yeah
Woh-ho-ho-oh
Jag har aldrig slutat tro
Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen
Fast jag inte kan förstå
Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen
Känner doften från en stilla ocean
Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan
Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar
1992: Why Me - Linda Martin (Ireland)
Sometimes I watch you passing by my window
And sometimes I watch you passing through my dreams
And sometimes, when I look at you
You take my breath away
Sometimes I try and understand your reasons
You choose to feel the way you feel about me
And sometimes, when I turn around
And you're there, like today - I wanna say
1993: In Your Eyes - Niamh Kavanagh (Ireland)
Showing no emotion
My feelings locked inside
I made myself an island
Trying to take my heart and hide
I built a wall around me
Afraid of letting go
But suddenly an open door
I never saw before
In your eyes (your eyes)
I see the light leading me home again
It's heaven in your arms, my love
My heart is in your hands
(Heaven in your arms, your eyes)
In your eyes, seems so right
I see forever in your smile
This woman is a child again
(In your eyes)
1994: Rock 'n' Roll Kids - Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan (Ireland)
I remember '62
I was sixteen and so were you
And we lived next door,
On the avenue.
Jerry Lee was big and Elvis too;
Blue jeans and blue suede shoes,
And we never knew
What life held in store.
We just wanted to rock 'n' roll forever more.
We were the Rock 'n' Roll Kids
And Rock 'n' Roll was all we did
And listening to those songs on the radio;
I was yours and you were mine
But that was once upon a time,
Now we never seem to Rock 'n' Roll anymore.
1995: Nocturne - Secret Garden (Norway)
La dagen få
sin hvile nå
og natten vil våke for den,
Nocturne.
Se mørket må
engang forgå
så natten kan føde en dag
1996: The Voice - Eimear Quinn (Ireland)
I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name
Listen my child you say to me
I am the voice of your history
Be not afraid - come follow me
Answer my call and I´ll set you free
I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice and I will remain
1997: Love Shine a Light - Katrina and the Waves (United Kingdom)
Love shine a light, in every corner of my heart
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry
Lite up the magic in every little part
Let our love shine a light, in every corner of our hearts
1998: Diva - Dana International (Israel)
Viva Maria
Viva Victoria
Aphrodite
Viva le Diva
Viva Victoria
Cleopatra
1999: Take Me to Your Heaven - Charlotte Nilsson (Sweden)
Shadows dancing slowly on my wall,
Moonlight painting silver to the
Sound of heartbeat.
Magical emotions take control,
Knowing we will meet before the night is over.
Then I gonna make you mine,
Love you till the end of time.
Take me to your heaven,
Hold on to a dream,
Take me to your heaven,
When my nights are cold and lonely
Flying high together,
On a journey to the stars,
Won't you take me to your heaven to your heart.
2000: Fly on the Wings of Love - The Olsen Brothers (Denmark)
In the summer night, when the
moon shines bright,
Feeling love forever,
And the heat is on, when
the daylight’s gone,
Still happy together.
There’s just one more thing I’d like to add,
She’s the greatest love I’ve ever had.
Fly on the wings of love,
Fly baby fly,
Reaching the stars above,
Touching the sky.
2001: Everybody - Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL (Estonia)
Every night’s a Friday night
Ladies, This sure feels right
The two of us will sing again
The heart is young and we know when
To kick the sadness out the door
And roll the carpet from the floor
Let the spirit hit the roof
The two of us still know the moves
Not even time can take away
The starlight from us, no, it won’t fade
Still we believe that we
Were made to laugh and sing
Come on, everybody let’s sing along
And feel the power of a song
Come on, everybody let’s feel the spark
That always stays within our hearts
Come on, everybody and let it out
Live the moment here and now
Come on, everybody cause here’s a chance
To feel so light, to laugh and dance
2002: I Wanna - Marie N. (Latvia)
I like to go away
But it's easier to say
That you know all the tricks that make
That make me stay
I'm ready to support
This artful game you always play
'cause you don't know the fee
Which you will later, later pay
Today you think you are the winner
Today you think you are the king
You make me sweat in my emotions
Under your fly-away, fly-away wing
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms
I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies
I wanna be the love spark in your eyes
2003: Every Way that I Can - Sertab Erener (Turkey)
Every way that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Every way that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Every way that I can
I'll cry, I'll die
Make you mine again
2004: Wild Dance - Ruslana (Ukraine)
Just maybe I'm crazy
The world spins round and round and round
Shi-di-ri-duy,shi-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-duy,shi-ri-di-da-na
I want you to want me as I dance
Round and round and round
Shi-di-ri-duy,shi-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-duy,shi-ri-di-da-na
Forever and ever go,go,go wild dancers
Day-na-Day-na wanna be loved
Day-na-gonna take my wild chances
Day-na-Day-na Freedom above
Day-na-da-na-da I'm wild 'n' dancing
2005: My Number One - Elena Paparizou (Greece)
You're my lover, undercover
You're my secret passion and I have no other
You're delicious so capricious
If I find out you don't want me, I'll be vicious
Say you love me and you'll have me
In your arms forever and I won't forget it
Say you miss me, come and kiss me
Take me up to heaven and you won't regret it
2006: Hard Rock Hallelujah - Lordi (Finland)
All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of FALSE
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n Roll angels bring thyn Hard Rock Hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n Roll angels bring thyn Hard Rock Hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
2007: Molitva - Marija Šerifovic (Serbia)
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je,
Molitva, mesto re
i 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.
2008: Believe - Dima Bilan (Russia)
Even when the thunder and storm begins
I'll be standing stong like a tree in the wind
Nothing is gonna move this mountain or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky and I'm all alone
The courage that's inside is gonna break my fall
Nothing is gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on it will never be impossible
Not today.
Cause I got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me.
2009: Fairytale - Alexander Rybak (Norway)
Years ago when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed
Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
2010: Satellite - Lena Meyer-Landrut (Germany)
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
