Andorran homage to ABBA

Susanne GeorgiIf ABBA were still around they would be singing La Teva Decisió (Get a life), but they are not so it is up to Susanne Georgi, the Danish-born singer for Andorra, to bring life to the song - and the result is magical. With a mix of Catalan rhythms, ABBAesque pop chorus and restrained chord changes, the contest's most unlikely red-head has a surefire hit this Summer in the holiday nightclubs of the Mediterranean.

Whether this will translate into success at the Eurovision remains to be seen - Susanne's song boasts a sophisticated
music video
but her performance in clip we have of her stage show is marred by a clumsy "Muriel's Wedding"-style backing dancers who seem to be trying to steal the stage from her. We'll know if this has been fixed when rehearsals start in Moscow.


Music/Lyrics: Rune Braager, Lene Dissing, Marcus Winther-John, Pernille Georgi (Susanne's sister), Susanne Georgi

Sé que m’estimes, malgrat tot
Que desconfies de la sort
Però no pots negar, és un error
Deixar-ho tot serà la fí del nostre amor

La teva decisió m’allunya del present
La història entre tu i jo són fulles que s’endú el vent
Silencis compartits, somnis per recordar
Paraules que ens hem dit, mentides que són veritat

Ah ah ah…
Ah ah ah I, I know that I’m right
Ah ah ah I, I’m getting a life

És el moment de corregir
L’adéu serà com un suspir
Confio a que l’endemà
L’amor tornarà a mi i

La teva decisió m’allunya del present
La història entre tu i jo són fulles que s’endú el vent
Silencis compartits, somnis per recordar
Paraules que ens hem dit, mentides que són veritat

Ah ah ah…
Ah ah ah I, I know that I’m right
Ah ah ah I, I’m getting a life

Sabrem lluitar, sabrem seguir
Mirar al futur, trobar-te i ser feliç

La teva decisió m’allunya del present
La història entre tu i jo són fulles que s’endú el vent
Silencis compartits, somnis per recordar
Paraules que ens hem dit, mentides que són veritat

Ah ah ah…
Ah ah ah I, I know that I’m right
Ah ah ah I, I’m getting a life
Gonna get you to my life

Ah ah ah…
Ah ah ah I, I know that I’m right
Ah ah ah I, I’m getting a life
Amor meu, no ho oblidis mai
