Color of your life - Michal Szpak

Music video by our Polish singer- Michal Szpak performing Color Of Your Life ( 2016 Eurovision Song Contest).





LYRICS :
When loneliness is knocking on your door
Everything you loved just disappears
And when you feel that everything is lost
You need to know
There's no life without tears

O o o o
Tell me black or white
What color is your life?
O o o o
Try to ask your heart
Who you really are

No one is forever beautiful and young
Everything you know just disappears
Fame and gold are nothing you can be sure
When there is no love in your heart
The choice is yours who you really want to be
Don't be afraid of your destiny
So when you feel that everything is lost
You need to know there's no life without fear

O o o o
Tell me black or white
What color is your life?
O o o o
Try to ask your heart
Who you really are

Every day we must fight with the wind
We have to live
All these things are just empty desire
'Cause there's no smoke without fire

O o o o
Tell me black or white
What color is your life 

 O o o o
Try to ask your heart
Who you really are

O o o o
Tell me black or white
What color is your life?
O o o o
Try to ask your heart
What color is your life?

Oh Susanna ;)


 
Piosenka country, która towarzyszyła nam podczas American Day :
 
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
My true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry.
Oh, Susannah,
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah dear
A-coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I, “I'm coming from the south,
Susannah, don't you cry.”
Oh, Susannah,
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee.
I come from A-la-ba-ma
With a ban-jo on my knee,
I'm going to Lou-i-siana,
My true love for to see.

Oh, Su-san-nah, oh,
Don't you cry for me,
For I come from A-la-ba-ma
With a ban-jo on my knee.

CINCO DE MAYO - 5 May

CINCO DE MAYO is a celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national holiday in Mexico—which is celebrated on September 16.
