Welcome to this FSC June 2018 Spin-Off , featuring many favourite 'Non-English Language' songs
from all over the world. Our host city is : Dakar, Senegal , the capital & largest city of the African
country. It is located on the Cap-Vert peninsula , on the Atlantic coast and is the westernmost city
in the 'Old World' (i.e. a term used for Africa, Europe, and Asia) as well as on the African mainland

The city of Dakar proper has a population of around 1 million whereas the population of the Dakar
metropolitan area is estimated at 2.5 million The area round Dakar was settled in the 15th century
The Portuguese established a presence on the island of Gorée , off the coast of Cap-Vert & used it
as a base for the Atlantic slave trade (of Africans to America). France took over the island in 1677.

Following the abolition of the slave trade , and French annexation of the mainland area in the 19th
century , Dakar grew into a major regional port & major city of the French colonial empire . In 1902
Dakar replaced Saint-Louis as capital of French West Africa. From 1959 to 1960 Dakar was the ca
pital of the Mali Federation. In 1960 it became the capital of the independent Republic of Senegal.

a marvel located in the heart of the Senegalese capital. It's an imposing building of 4 floors which
offers security and comfort. It opens on a hall of 1250 m2 , for banquets and other ceremonies. It

halls (like the Grand Theater) dusty clubs, cafés & at the back of any bus where speakers blast out
jazz, hip-hop, and mbalax (the super catchy local dance music that mixes driving, traditional sabar
drumming with pop popularized by Youssou N'Dour) It's a nation in love with music in all its facets

Re: FSC Spin-Off - June 2018: "Non-English Language" - The Show

I was wondering about the Monegasque entry; I didn't really know they had any singers... But of course Princess Stéphanie of Monaco is from Monaco! :D

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to listening to all of the songs :D

And such a wonderful show! Thank you [MENTION=4434]Malagant[/MENTION]

Is the YouTube link to the Hungarian entry not a full song? It gets cut off mid chorus :(

I will check it out, it was the YT-link I was given but if it is not the best perhaps we can change it.


And you were right, it stops mid-chorus.. I have found a lyrics-video of the full song and have replaced the old link xup

FSC SPIN-OFF JUNE 2018
NON-ENGLISH SONGS

Lyrics (English Translation)

Didn't expect this time will come
Clear in my mind, the first impression
Your sweet talks and polite ways
You put an arrow to my heart

We laugh and cry together
Like the air I breathe, I need you all the time
I have decided, that a life without you
Is not what I ever wanted

I am ready to accept you as you are
And loyal to cherish you for eternity
I am ready to be tried, my courage is because
I have won you

Have known your heart and soul for years
Even broken into million pieces, always reunited
I have decided that life without you
Is not what I ever wanted

(Repeat Chorus)

Don't worry
I prepare everything, so you won't lost direction
Don't worry
I will be the best for you

Re: FSC Spin-Off - June 2018: "Non-English Language" - The Show

Please keep on posting your entry-promotions in this thread, everyone! xup

For our newcomers, the reason why full promotions are allowed in the Show-thread here in the Spin-Off forum and not in
the main FSC Show-thread, is that in the main FSC we have the FSC Promotions thread and also separate public country-
threads for full promotions, while here in the Spin-Off we do things a little simpler & have everything in the Show-thread

Jelena Tomasevic is my favourite Serbian female pop-artist and I especially love her ballads of which
2 stand out for me: the magnificent 2015-ballad ‘Ime moje’, one of the best FSC-songs I have heard in
my 8.5 years in the FSC, & ‘Jutro’, her equally magnificent NF-ballad from 2005. I am very happy to be
able to enter this beautiful song in this FSC ‘ Non-English Language ’ Spin-Off, I hope you will enjoy it!


Jelena Tomasevic - Jutro

Žad i svila, ljubav mila, živa mi je rana
Koncem bola po mom srcu, veze svakog dana
Spavaš li, da li si tužan k’o ja?
Dok more sad je tvoja obala, k’o ja

Tražim te, budim te, ruke ti hladne
Tu sama živim, bez nade
Spavaš li, da li si tužan ko ja?
Dok more sad je tvoja obala

Hej, suzice, brojanice, more ti je postelja
Prošao si sve stanice, samo meni više doći nećeš
Ja još umirem, Bogu dušu ne žalim
Oduvek, volim te, zauvek

Da ti bar jednom kažem šta mi je nedelja
Kad me jutro bez tebe dočeka

Hej, suzice, brojanice, more ti je postelja
Prošao si sve stanice, samo ja
Bogu dušu ne žalim
Bole nedra ko jedra, da život me napusti

(Bole nedra ko jedra, da život me napusti)​
