Eurovision 2018 – Georgia
The Georgia song is called ‘For You‘ and performed by Iriao.
ARTIST
Iriao is an ethno-fusion band founded in Tbilisi, Georgia. The band’s repertoire is based on Georgian polyphonic music and harmony, saturated with jazz and modern music elements.
The group’s name is derived from a phrase, “Iriao-uruao” which comes the famous yodeling singing style “Krimanchuli” of Georgian traditional polyphonic music.
SONG
The song is composed by David Malazonia and Mikheil Mdinaradze – it translates into English as ‘For You’.

OPINION
It’s a nice classic piano ballad and I love that it’s performed in their native language. However, it’s a bit boring and could possibly send people to sleep.
PREDICTION
I very much doubt that this will qualify.

English
Day – be longer
And melt the snow
To warm up the one, who felt cold in the night
Shine not for me
For us
For us
Make the heart feel joyful for the others’ happiness
The sun rises in time
To grant People warmness
And the earth keeps turning with love
Let understand the feelings of others share with others
What is the heart if not break into nine pieces to with others
The wind will carry the rest away
You own only what you share
Day breaks the night
If I am by your side
Something ends and there Comes a new start
Kindness will live forever on the earth
For you
For love
For just one Flash
We go on our way
All is yours what you share
