Eurovision 1997 Estonia:
Maarja-Liis Ilus - "Keelatud maa"
Keelatud maa
Miks aina peidad end eilses?
Kui sinna kaod, siis kadunuks jääd
Sind juba sajas kord leides
Saand mõradest praod me vahel, ma näen
Kuid kui ma loobun, siis hukkud sootuks
Sel keelatud maal, ma tunnen end siis
Sind otsin ja jälle me vahel on piir
See keelatud maa, sind uduna varjab mu eest
Ta hajub kord siiski me teelt
Kui sind ei õnnestu leida
Ja otsides päevgi väheseks jääb
Võid küll mu kõrvale heita –
Ei tunne mind sa, ei kuule, ei näe
Sind mõistan siiski
Taas eilses viibid
Sel keelatud maal, ma tunnen end siis
Sind otsin ja jälle me vahel on piir
See keelatud maa, sind uduna varjab mu eest
Ta hajub kord siiski me teelt
Sind ära toon keelatud maalt
Ma sulle luban, toon ära sind ma
(Keelatud maal, ma tunnen end siis)
Keelatud maalt
(Sind otsin ja jälle me vahel on piir)
Keelatud maa (See keelatud maa)
Hoida ei saa (Ei lõputult hoida sind ѕaa)
Me vahelt kaob keelatud maа
Forbidden land
Why do you always hide yourself in yesterday
When you disappear there you'll stay disappeared
Finding you for the hundredth time already
The flaws between us have become cracks, I see
But if I give up, you'll be lost for good
On this forbidden land I feel myself again
I'm looking for you and again there's a border between us
This forbidden land hides you from me like fog
Sometime it will disappear from our way
When I can't find you
And while looking even a day falls short
You may lie down next to me
You won't recognise me, won't hear, won't see
Still I understand you
You linger in yesterday again
On this forbidden land I feel myself again
I'm looking for you and again there's a border between us
This forbidden land hides you from me like fog
Sometime it will disappear from our way
I'll bring you from the forbidden land
I promise you, I will fetch you
(This forbidden land, I feel myself again)
From the forbidden land
(I'm looking for you and again there's a border between us)
Forbidden land (This forbidden land)
Can't keep you (Can't keep you forever)
The forbidden land will vаnish from between uѕ
Hold onto love
When you are feeling down-hearted
And sometimes the world is going too fast
Just think of what we have started
And put all your doubts right back in the past
Soon you'll discover, you are my lover
So hold onto love and cherish your dreams
This butterfly feeling is more than it seems
Just hold onto love and tell it that it's gotta stay
Don't let it go flying away
I know you're feeling confusion
But don't be afraid of what's in your heart
I know it's not some illusion
It would be wrong for us now to part
You're like no other
Come be my lover
So hold onto love and cherish your dreams
This butterfly feeling is more than it seems
Just hold onto love and tell it that it's gotta stay
Don't let it go flying away
So baby, please hold onto love
It's something precious, so hold onto love
(Hold onto love and cherish your dreams)
Hold onto love
(This butterfly feeling is more than it seems)
Hold onto love (Hold onto love)
It's gotta stay (And tell it that it's gotta ѕtay)
Don't let it go flying awаy
