Eurovision 2010 Armenia:
Eva Rivas - "Apricot Stone"
Apricot Stone
Many, many years ago, when I was a little child
Mama told me you should know our world is cruel and wild
But to make your way through cold and heat
Love is all that you need
I believed her every word, more than anything I heard
But I was too scared to lose my fun
I began to cry a lot and she gave me apricots
Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground
I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone
Now I see the northern stars shining brightly in the storm
And I've got an avatar of my love to keep me warm
Now I'm not afraid of violent winds
They may blow – they can't win
May the winter stay away from my harvest night and day
May God bless and keep my cherished fruit
Grow my tree up to the sky, once I waved my home goodbye
I just wanna go back to my roots
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground
I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherlаnd

Koštica kajsije
Prije mnogo, mnogo godina, kada sam bila malo dijete
Mama mi je rekla da trebam znati da je naš svijet okrutan i divlji
Ali da bi se probila kroz hladnoću i vrućinu
Ljubav je sve što ti treba
Vjerovala sam svakoj njenoj riječi, više od svega što sam čula
Ali sam bila previše uplašena da izgubim svoju zabavu
Počela sam mnogo plakati, a ona mi je dala kajsije
Poljupce zemlje, plodove sunca
Koštica kajsije, skrivena u mojoj ruci
Vraćena meni iz domovine
Koštica kajsije, bacit ću je u smrznutu zemlju
Samo ću je pustiti da se okrene
Koštica kajsije, skrivena u mojoj ruci
Vraćena meni iz domovine
Koštica kajsije
Sada vidim sjeverne zvijezde kako jarko sijaju u oluji
I imam avatar svoje ljubavi da me grije
Sada se ne bojim nasilnih vjetrova
Mogu puhati - ne mogu pobijediti
Neka zima ostane podalje od moje žetve noću i danju
Neka Bog blagoslovi i čuva moje dragocjeno voće
Neka moje drvo naraste do neba, jednom kada mahnem svom domu zbogom
Samo se želim vratiti svojim korijenima
Koštica kajsije, skrivena u mojoj ruci
Vraćena meni iz domovine
Koštica kajsije, bacit ću je u smrznutu zemlju
Samo ću je pustiti da se okrene
Koštica kajsije, skrivena u mojoj ruci
Vraćena meni iz domovine
Koštica kajsije, skrivena u mojoj ruci
Vraćena meni iz domovine
Koštica kаjѕije
