Firstly I'd like to say congratulations to Inspireland on their closely fought victory, and thank you everyone who voted for Nena & Kim Wilde in edition 26, especially State of The Ark, Empelia and Syphoria for their 12 points.
*
For edition 27, La RTVR is going back in time, to the 1980s and have selected a french power ballad. The singer is controversial, and the song is about heroin addiction and it's effects on you and the people around you.
*
Heavy stuff I know, but give the song a chance. The music builds towards a climax, and the end is positive, suggesting that there is a way out.

Here are the lyrics for anyone who is interested to understand them:
**
Dis moi, pourquoi t'es comme ca,
pourquoi ca va pas,
pourquoi t'essaies pas,
pourquoi tu veux pas?
*
Dis moi, pourquoi tu souris,
et pourquoi tu pleures,
pourquoi t'as envie,
et pourquoi t'as peur?
*
Dis moi, pourquoi tu dis ca,
pourquoi t'y crois pas,
pourquoi t'y crois plus,
pourquoi tu sais plus?
*
Tu vois, tu r'trouves plus ta rue,
t'as paumé l'étage,
j'crois bien qu't'es perdu,
tu marches plus, tu mages.
*
Refrain:
Et là tu crois,
qu'j'vais rester là sans rien dire?
Ah oui, tu crois,
qu'j'vais rester planté là,
à te voir partir dans tes délires,
et te laisser faire n'importe quoi?
*
Dis-moi, pourquoi tu fais ça,
pourquoi t'arrête pas?
Tu te fous en l'air,
ça a l'air de t'plaire.
*
Pourquoi tu comprends pas,
que c'est pas vrai tout ca,
que tu reviendras pas,
si tu t'en vas par là?
*
Refrain:
Et là tu crois,
qu'j'vais rester là sans rien dire?
Ah oui, tu crois,
qu'j'vais rester planté là,
à te voir patrir dans tes délires,
et te laisser faire n'importe quoi?
*
Dis toi, qu't'es en train de partir,
tu t'es trompé d'navire,
t'as cassé ta dérive,
t'es en train de couler.
*
Et moi, moi tu m'as oublié,
moi tu y a pas pensé,
moi tu m'as juste laissé,
le droit de la fermer.
*
Refrain:
Et tu crois pas,
que j'vais rester sans rien dire?
Ah ne crois pas,
qu'j'vais rester planté là,
ç te voir mourrir dans tes délires,
te regarder faire n'importe quoi!

Ooh...
Ooh...

Tell me, why do you do it?
Why are you not alright?
Why don’t you try?
Why don’t you want to?
*
Tell me, why you’re smiling?
And why are you crying?
Why do you want to?
And why are you afraid?
*
Tell me, why do you say that?
Why don’t you believe?
Why don’t you believe anymore?
Why don’t you know anymore?
*
You see, you can’t find your way anymore
you’ve lost the path
I believe you’ve got lost.
You’re not walking anymore, you’re swimming.
*
Refrain:
So, do you believe,
I will stay there without saying anything?
Yeah, do you believe,
that I will stay stuck there
to see you leave in your delusions,
and let you do god knows what?
*
Tell me, why you do it.
Why don’t you stop?
You’ve fucked up,
it seems to please you.
*
Why don’t you understand
none of that’s real
you won’t come back
If you go there?
*
Refrain:
So, do you believe,
I will stay there without saying anything?
Yeah, do you believe,
that I will stay stuck there
to see you running in your delusions,
and let you do god knows what?
*
Tell yourself, that you are now leaving,
you missed the boat,
you all adrift,
and you’re sinking.
*
And me, me you forgot about me.
You hadn’t thought about me,
all you have left me,
Is the right to close it
*
Refrain:
and don’t think,
that I will stay without saying anything
Ah, do not believe
that I will stay fixed there
to see you die in your delusions,
to watch you do god knows what!
*
Ooh...
Ooh...
