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

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
