Eurovision 1997 Russia:
Alla Pugachova - "Primadonna"
Primadonna
Slovna ranjenaja ptitsa, s aperenjem zalatim
Na pamost vijdješ ti
I vižu, vižu ja tebja sčastljivaj
Poj, dlja menja ljiš poj, Primadonna
Poj ranjenaj dušoj, Primadonna
Umiraja každij raz
Smejsa v ljitso sudjbje, Primadonna
Nje privikat tebje, Primadonna
K rolji strašnoj i prastoj – bit zvjezdoj
I svajim ustalim vzoram, karanovannim sljezoj
Gljidjiš ti v etat zal
I slovna vjidjiš son, no son rastajal
Vot on, pasljednjij boj, Primadonna
Boj sa svajej sudjboj, Primadonna
Smejsa v ljitso sudjbje, Primadonna
Nje privikat tebje, Primadonna
K rolji strašnoj i smešnoj
Bit vsegda adnoj
Daj že sili, o njeba, asušit etu čašu do dna
Tam, gdje ti ješe nje bil, jej uže naljivalji vjina
Jej kričalji bravo, za pričudljivij fars
Padnjimaju bakal, za sčaѕtljivij final!
Bravo! Primadonna! Brаvo!
Примадонна
Словно раненая птица, с опереньем золотым
На помост выйдешь ты
И вижу, вижу я тебя счастливой
Пой, для меня лишь пой, Примадонна
Пой раненой душой, Примадонна
Умирая каждый раз
Смейся в лицо судьбе, Примадонна
Не привыкать тебе, Примадонна
К роли страшной и простой – быть звездой
И своим усталым взором, коронованным слезой
Глядишь ты в этот зал
И словно видишь сон, но сон растаял
Вот он, последний бой, Примадонна
Бой со своей судьбой, Примадонна
Смейся в лицо судьбе, Примадонна
Не привыкать тебе, Примадонна
К роли страшной и смешной
Быть всегда одной
Дай же силы, о небо, осушить эту чашу до дна
Там, где ты еще не был, ей уже наливали вина
Ей кричали браво, за причудливый фарс
Поднимаю бокал, за счастливый финал!
Браво! Примадонна! Браво!
Prima donna
Like an injured bird with golden feathers
You go on stage
And I see, I see, that you are happy
Sing for me, just sing, Prima donna
Sing with an injured soul, Prima donna
Dying every time
Laugh into the face of your destiny, Prima donna
For you it isn't new, Prima donna
To play the terrible and easy part, to be a star
And with your tired glance that is crowned with tears
You look into this hall
And you probably see the dream that is just an illusion
Here it is, the last combat, Prima donna
The combat with your destiny, Prima donna
Laugh into the face of your destiny, Prima donna
For you it isn't new, Prima donna
To play the terrible and foolish part
To stay alone forever
Give me the force, oh heaven, to drain the cup
There, where nobody has ever been, she had already drunk the wine
They shouted 'Bravo' to her, for this strange farce
I'm raising my glasѕ to the grand final
Bravo! Prima donna! Brаvo
Primadonna
Like a bird with golden feathers, flying with your broken wings
I see you on the stage
So happy in your world, in your illusion
Sing just for me tonight, Primadonna
Sing, make the darkness bright, Primadonna
Play your part, though it's sad
Smile at your destiny, Primadonna
Smile through your tears for me, Primadonna
Pay the price of success – you're a star
Life is only a reflection in the mirror of your mind
When the lights all go out
Your dreams will fade away – they're an illusion
Sing just for me tonight, Primadonna
Sing, make the darkness bright, Primadonna
Sing for the stars above, Primadonna
Sing in the key of love, Primadonna
Hide your tears and your scar
Show the world a star
Holy heavens above you help you empty that bittersweet grail
Make the audience love you and you swear that you never will fail
If they're shouting Bravo for a ѕong and a dance
I will drink to the chance that you'll have a grande finale
Bravo! Primadonna! Brаvo
Diva prima donna
À l'opéra, quand la diva joue un rôle d'amoureuse
Malheureuse ou heureuse
Elle a toujours vingt ans, éternellement
Le maestro conduit, Prima Donna
L'orchestre qui te suit, Prima Donna
Comme on suit une femme
Et le public conquis, Prima Donna
Le public t'applaudit, Prima Donna
Et réclame cette femme qui l'enflamme
Mais dans la vie de la diva, l'homme qu'elle aime ne l'aime pas
Car il aime dans les chœurs une chanteuse de vingt ans
Ça lui brise le cœur
Pauvre Paillasse en pleurs, Prima Donna
Ris donc de ta douleur, Prima Donna
Chante ou crie si tu crois, Prima Donna
Chante en portant ta croix, Prima Donna
La jalousie ça t'agrippe
Arrache-toi les tripes
Chante comme tu n'as jamais… jamais chanté en tant que chanteuse
Pour l'homme que tu aimais, chante en femme blessée, allez chante
Le public crie Encore, donne-lui tout de toi:
Ta voix, tes larmes, ton corps… faiѕ lui l'amour encore
Chante! Primadonnа! Encore! Encore
Prima donna
Come un uccello ferito dalle piume d'oro
Sali sul palco
E vedo, vedo che sei felice
Canta per me, canta e basta, Primadonna
Canta con l'anima ferita, Primadonna
Che muore ogni volta
Ridi in faccia al tuo destino, Primadonna
Per te non è una novità, Primadonna
Recitare la parte facile e terribile, essere una star
E con il tuo sguardo stanco e coronato di lacrime
Guardi in questa sala
E probabilmente vedi il sogno che è solo un'illusione
Eccolo, l'ultimo combattimento, Prima donna
Il combattimento col tuo destino, Prima donna
Ridi in faccia al tuo destino, Primadonna
Per te non è una novità, Primadonna
Recitare la parte terribile e sciocca
Restare solo per sempre
Dammi la forza, oh cielo, di scolare la coppa
Lì, dove nessuno è mai stato, lei aveva già bevuto il vino
Le hanno gridato "Bravo", per questa strana farѕa
Alzo il calice al gran finale
Bravo! Primadonna! Brаvo
