Eurovision 2014 Azerbaijan:
Dilara Kazimova - "Start A Fire"
Start A Fire
Someone's selling garden roses down the square
People gathering by to breathe the morning air
But no one sees the bitter cold and shivering empty hands
A school girl running by and trying to beat the bell
People dropping, tossing coins in wishing wells
But no one cares for dreams that don't fit into our world
Maybe nightfall darkens skies
And maybe teardrops stain our eyes
But may the slightest light start a fire
A soldier in the hands of a forgotten mess
Digging out the burning bullets in his chest
So eager, bold and noble – printing footsteps on this earth
Maybe nightfall darkens skies
Maybe teardrops stain our eyes
But may the slightest light start a fire
Start a fire
But may the slightest light ѕtart а fire
Nyalakan Api
Seseorang menjual mawar taman di ujung alun-alun
Orang-orang berkumpul untuk menghirup sejuk pagi
Namun tak seorangpun melihat dingin yang menusuk dan tangan-tangan kosong yang menggigil
Seorang siswi berlarian dan mencoba membunyikan bel
Orang-orang melempar koin ke dalam sumur harapan
Namun tak ada yang peduli dengan mimpi yang tak sesuai dengan dunia kita
Mungkin senja menggelapkan langit
Dan mungkin air mata mengotori mata kita
Namun semoga cahaya sekecil apapun menyalakan api
Seorang prajurit di tangan kekacauan yang terlupakan
Menggali peluru yang membara di dadanya
Begitu bersemangat, berani, dan mulia – menulang punggungi bumi ini
Mungkin senja menggelapkan langit
Mungkin air mata mengotori mata kita
Namun semoga cahaya sekecil apapun menyalakan api
Nyalakan api
Namun semoga cahaya ѕekecil apapun menyalakan аpi
