James, I don't think 'Rimi Rimi ley' means anything in Turkish... that seemed to be most of the song... I think since Turkey won Eurovision they've adopted a policy of getting as many dancers and drums on stage as possible and making their songs sound as Eastern as they can. It's a good model, but people have got jaded of it. I just hope Greece don't make the same mistake next time.

Oh, OK then. Still, I'd be interested to know what the song actually says - it must have some actual words in it, right?

About Greece making the same mistake (or any other mistake for that matter) what the heck does it matter? They(we)'ve been yearning for 3-4 years about winning the damn Eurovision thing, we've won, we get to host it, after that, end of story! I don't think anyone is going to mind if Greece doesn't win in the next 50 years...

You've committed the cardinal sin Thrill, the song and orchestration was done by a Greek-Cypriot :shock:

How are people going to cope with the news that Greek and Turkish music is essentially one and the same??? :shock:

I think Piratis and MicAtCyp will quite possibly bust a nut at such news...

It is now obvious: Magikthrill has been paid a shit-load of money by the CIA to make such absurd, unsubstantiated claims.

Here you go James... the lyrics in Turkish and English... Turkish friends, does Rimi rimi ley really mean 'love will find a way'?

"RİMİ RİMİ LEY"

Rimi rimi leyli leyli rimi ley!...

Hey, hey!...

Müptela olmuş, aşkım;bak aşkına…
Müptela olmuş, dönmüşüm şaşkına…
Leylim ley!...Rimi rimi ley!... Aşk değil bu,… sanki bir ceza bana Leylim ley!...
Rimi rimi ley!... Aşk değil bu, sanki bir kara sevda…

Aşk mı yordu seni, zalim?...
Çok seviyordu seni kalbim…
Acınası bak şu deli halim,
Dön gel, haydi güzelim!...
Sevdiğimsin, her şeyimsin,
Beni yakıp üzen, güldürensin
Sonunda yine beni mahvedensin,
Kader, zalimsin!...

Like an angel you take me flying
Out in the darkness you’ll be shining

If there is trouble you’re a warning
Like a whisper I hear you calling
From afar
Calling from afar

I believe love found a way to you and me

hey cyprus only gave 5 pts to the UK. and just because the song and orchestration were done by a Greek Cypriot that doesnt mean much. We saw how the cyprus entry was on its own hehe.
