Noa and Mira Awad- "There Must Be Another Way"- Eurovision 2009

[kithp]

There must be another way! why do the extremist always win out? I want to hear more and more voices of Arabs speaking out and marching for peace. Extremists can go to hell, PEACE, LOVE & EQUALITY for all, shalom from Israel.

[mauritzization]

Crying every time when lisning this. Hopefully you can solve the peace for all.

[TheSharontube]

שיר השלום שלנו !!! =)

[jebus0000000]

Get rid of Olmert and Abbas.!Get Mira and Noa to rule the area and there will be another way!

[sunja65]

this ist a wonderwonderwonderful song, touches my heart deeply! Thank you!

[1970Mhd]

Shame to the extremists on both sides. Learn to live side by side, because the world will no longer accept and tolerate your stupidity.

[madysamir]

amazing what a beautifull song for peace justicte equality for all israel citizens

[kithp]

@madysamir We need this now! Shalom, Saalam, Peace from Israel.

[Gefilta]

WoW this is too good to be a Eurovision song.

[TheDritero1000]

a great song, the best in ESC in Moscow! I lobe Noa and Mira! Greetings from Germany

[miluka787]

I love this song and the singers too:) from Hungary

[totaldreamer1]

erm, which one's Mira and which one's Noa?

[jasonchaotic]

@totaldreamer1 Noa has curly hair and Mira straight hair. I like the arabian a lot ;)

[kamamuhammad]

Arabs and Jews are Semites. No difference.

[glorific]

@kamamuhammad that's why we're cousins :-)

[WhoStoleThe]

@kamamuhammad u wish!

[JadeDAngelo]

By the way, Mira looks totally Bulgarian and I love her for speaking 4 languages. Great singers and song!

[oneurope]

Last I looked it's a song in a song contest?!

[oliveharvest]

This shit is absolutely horrible!

Mira Awad is off singing with Zionists and cooperating with the apartheid, fascist state of Israel, while Palestinians remain struggling, Gaza is still suffering, and the Palestinian diaspora suffers?

It's fucking ridiculous. We need to resist. Producing this vocally crap song is not assisting any body. She is contributing to Zionist propaganda.

[Rihoko7chan]

I realy like this song!

[manauz]

And when I cry I cry for both of us...

[JoMarieM]

Fantastic song! I'm really happy that I discovered this amazing duo. Not only do I really enjoy their singing, but since I'm also studying Arabic and Hebrew (both at the same time), their songs are great for language learning, too!

[mirabelbel]

very great song! Greetings from BG

[Kingfordian22]

I hate the new version

[chileepengwin]

the old version was much better, still, i really like the song, one of my favourites this year.

[bizzer1]

one of my favourites from Eurovízió :)love from Hungary (L)

[kriss4176]

what is happening to the sound?

[ElComentaristo]

I love it!

[IVANAdiTrieste]

Very nice! ciao Ivana

[gejyspa]

I don't know if you know that the Israeli (Noa) is the one our left (with the long black curly hair), and the Palestinian (Mira Awad) is the one on our right.

[israleb]

Mira Awad is not Palestinian. She is a Christian Arab from Israel, and her mother is Bulgarian.

[Kingfordian22]

@gejyspa

Yes... she describes herself as a Palestinian living in Israel.

[sansprenom2007]

thank you for telling us her religious views...we were so eager to learn that!

[jasonchaotic]

@israleb Like the majority of Israeli Arabs[14] she identifies herself as Palestinian by nationality[1] and Israeli by citizenship[15]. While she has received criticism from both sides of the Arab-Israeli divide, she has many fans in both camps.[16][17] The debate has exposed the uneasy position of Israel's Arabs, those Palestinians and their descendants who remained after 1948.[18]

[Yuval012]

The Arab woman is Israeli...

the jewish girl not really typical, not many jewish girls look like that, like not many arab girls look like Mira awad.

[YAloje4ka]

the song is really nice

[catalinp3]

I don't understand much but I like it.

Greetings from Romania.

[misb]

you can find the lyrics translated ^^ it's awesome. this for sure should have won...

just put their names on google with the title of the song, you'll for sure find it translated =)

[YAloje4ka]

классные тети, вери гуд! жаль на русском не спели :))

[ankapmt]

красивая песня! спасибо!

[Arabella1981]

You're wellcome ;)

About their national competition...I really don't know. I only know that this year they choose Noa to represent Israel and she wanted to sing with Mira. So they wrote 4 songs together and in a national competition they sing all four and there was voting process where song 'There must be another way' won. I like the choice :) But also there was song called ''faith in the light'' also one superbe song that should be great choice too.

[Kingfordian22]

@Arabella1981

They voted using a mix of:

2 regional juries (30%)

An "expert jury" (30%)

Televote (30%)

The results came out as

1st "There must be another way" 112 pts

2nd "Will you dance with me" 84 pts

3rd "Faith In the Light" 72 pts

4th "Second Chance" 32 pts

[Tihbialdunav]

Beautiful song. I wonder if Mira speaks her Mom's language-Bulgarian...

[Arabella1981]

She speaks fluently four languages: arabic, hebrew, english and bulgarian.

[Tihbialdunav]

Thank you. Do you know how they choose the winner of the Israeli national competition? Because I see Mira & Noa have many songs recorded together and I know each country has different rules...

[JadeDAngelo]

She does, they mentioned this during the presentation at the Eurovision.

[Arabella1981]

There is always another way...people just need to open their minds and be more tolerant!

These women are showing how....

This song should have been among top 10, but regardless the position that obtained...the message was conveyed in front of milions people who think alike and really wants peace and coexistance among people...and was well accepted even among those who resisted in begining...Good job Noa and Mira!

[rababiV2]

two states for two nations- this is the only way!

[Schurik1988]

This is so wonderful and has such an important message. They really should have won.

[bombila68]

I absolutely love the song!!!

It is great!

[wad572]

damn Israelis are ugly

[DrS9]

There must be another way!

Let the music join us to a peacefull world!

Congrats girls,you are brilliant!

[inbal123]

what you said about this video is truly beautiful. You'd make peace with everyone all the time. Good job. Keep being nice and you' ll never be alone!!

[DrS9]

Thank you so much,it's the truth!!!!

This music is the best "war" for a peacefull world!

[alex19731983]

יפה מאוד!

[melitzaatmailru]

Arabic is so beautiful, and so is Hebrew. I voted for them on ESC2009.

[GaliAlBulgari]

This song is the REAL WINNER of ESC-2009. It has an Idea, a Philosophy like no other song ! Others were singing about daily personal dramas, while Noa&Mira´s song is about something Greater - about the Dialogue between two cultures and about the difficult way to Peace in the Middle East...

[Bobbel888]

Hi GaliAlBulgari!

Agree totally wth REAL WINNER of ESC 2009.

There is also gnosis in other songs, e.g.

Rybak: "I don't care, if I loose my mind - for a brand new star"

Yohanna: "Is i true, ... did I throw it away...?"

Saying "Peace" is not the answer to all questions, even among sems children.

In the sense of Karl Popper LIFE is solving problems. When you do this, you get to a point where your current object is in harmony. Then, when you did well with several objects...

[Bobbel888]

... you feel like solving problems on a higher level. This is giving up your mind for something greater.

Also you could throw the new idea away, because you don't believe in yourself. Then solving problems means neccessarily creating conflicts and on the same level as before. It is like the eternal death of Sisyphos, the hell that must be left!

Cheers Bobbel888

[Ma010S]

@GaliAlBulgari ESC is not a contest as if you imagine.

[micsasy]

@GaliAlBulgari your are right ;)

[ChorniyKot]

Second Chance- noa/mira 11. We Can Work It Out- noa/mira 12. Dance of Hope- noa

[SarahShlomo]

Mira has such a beautiful voice.

Sad that they didnt win the ESC, but i think they opened many ears and hearts with this song and thats more important than to win that contest!!! :D

[hibs0102]

great song!!

it deserved more points!!

[Namellew]

Very nice song, and I really like that it´s a israel and a palestine

[RedCyanNat]

Singing down their noses!

[hastaluegodan]

This is the winner!!!!

Great song, great lyrics, great concept!!!

All my sympathy to people that move forward!

Love you

[BaKss]

LOL noa looks like a goat!

nice song

[Richiegirley12]

Very nice Song

I love it!

[marcosso2007]

amazing!!! Mira is gorgeous!

[taloknin]

12 points !!!!!!!!!!!

[FreshLemon310]

Hope this song will win Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

Israel rules !! :)

[GaliAlBulgari]

I KNOW THAT THIS SONG WILL WIN ESC2009 !!! It has an emotional charge and a philosophy like no other song represented on the Contest ! Others sing about banal human things, while NOA and MIRA sing about Dialogue and Peace !!! This song is the best one on the Contest, it could be sung by huge masses and if both Jews and Arabs sing it, then Peace will come soon !!!

[nnkyt]

Agreed!

As a simple song&interpretation, I like Iceland's one too, but as you say, the emotional charge and philosophy only I could find, for e.g., back in those '70~'80 songs like ABBA did back then.

I'm from Spain, and I'll vote to this song.Definitely, sweet, delicate, strong, armoniuis, melodical, and loving song.

Cheers!

[GaliAlBulgari]

To continue the way, no matter how long. Because sorrow has more than one address. I cry to the horizions, to the stubborn skies - (English) There must be another way. (Hebrew) A long way we shall pass, a harsh way together towards the light. (Arabic) Your eyes say - all the fear will go away. (English) And when I cry, I cry for both of us My pain has no name And when i cry, I cry to the merciless sky and say - There must be another way!

[dready241]

is someone who can write the translation of this song???it really gorgeous!!! beautiful tunes & amazing voices!!!!

[lebanesehummus]

one day we will have peace...hopefully....good luck from Lebanon!

[ullrik]

this is not ''pro (current gouvernment of) israel'' it is against it.. and its very good:)

[Laughingbear1000]

petcalledros, I'm not sure it suggests that. To me, it suggests that Jews and Arabs can work together, can find a better way. If there was peace, this song would not be relevant.

[Methelin]

[yardkk86]

FULL LYRICS TO THIS WONDERFUL SONG: Eynaich (Your Eyes) (Hebrew) Your Eyes, sister, say all that my heart wishes. We've passed so far, such a long way, such a harsh way hand in hand. And the tears they drip, they flow in vain, A pain with no name. We're just waiting for the day that will come afterwards. (English) There must be another way. (Arabic) Your eyes say - a day will come and all fear will go away. Your eyes insist that there is still a possibility

I'm from Israel and I think it's very weak. even weaker than the original version. sorry.

[Starisborn32]

Great version! GO ISRAEL! QUALITY SONG! 12PT ISRAEL!

[AndyPandy99]

I agree - this is a very bad version. What a pity! I liked the original version and thought they would make it 'big' like they did with Boaz last year... Such a shame!!

[pinkasweb2]

Sorry - this is a really bad version of the song. I am soooo!! disappointed!! I am a very big fan of Noa, and this is such a let down. Can't believe they will actually sing this poor version of a lovely song in Moscow. shocking.
