Great song... catchy too! It was stuck in my head! =D

[uZZiMarE]

I love the dancers!

[Branka89]

@Angellos44 wow, the lyrics are interesting :) it would be great if you could write down the second verse too, thanks :)

[Branka89]

can some translate the lyrics please?

[Angellos44]

@Branka89 I burned down the past. My old nights. My remained memories turned to ashes. Sad moments and voices. Unfair wishes. And I left some open wounds at a corner.

I burned down the past. My old nights. Dreams and nightmares, I throw them to the flames. Hot tears, lots of lies, look like a dumb movie I dont watch anymore.

I put up a flame (Hey) in everything old (Hey) I will change everything, and I will shout this, whats done is done and forgotten and everything again from the beginning.

[Angellos44]

@Branka89 if you want the second verse too lemme know

[CommentOnEverything]

finally, someone actually singing in their own language

[cavedancer]

I Love this song! Excellent job Greece! beautiful instruments, great dancing and fab lyrics :D

[micap20078]

greece we gave you 12 points because u were the best to us from the uk

[athens2525]

@micap20078 thank you, we always loved the UK :)

[ellesaintlaurent]

@micap20078 Im sorry uk give 12 points to greece but i dont think was british people because i saw a interview and some british people say they dont bother with that because they dont vote for the best song but yes for they favourite countries neighbours so if hey have 12 points most been for the greek people a in the uk and i know is a lot of greek especial in london.CONGRATULATION GREECE

[micap20078]

@ellesaintlaurent well im not greek im born engish and i voted for them and i live in london there not that many greek people more turkish. but most british people have never even heard of the eurovision. the ones that have think its a joke. 

[laurenlisen]

@ellesaintlaurent να φας σκατα!!

[rubenffc]

Why Portugal never get points from Greece? Neither in the first semifinal one point of you!

[smutianka]

Bravo Greece!!! 

[123BlackThunder]

IDEMO BRACO GRCI!!! ajmo!! OPA!!!!

[sss9181]

I like this eurovision. it was good exept the germany. they had a stupid song but they won!! how??

[cavedancer]

Germany was fab! i think she is so cute. a brat tho but very unique

[5arKing]

Nice and funny song :)

[MrBeneyto]

The best song OPA! , better than satellite (germany).

Best wishes from Catalonia (Barcelona), spain's song is horrible.

[blackrockrose99]

etsiiii!!! etsi gamaei h ellada reeeeeeeeee

[sethgreenfan17]

my fav song...greece should have won!!!! OPA :x

(romania)

[Tungus1908]

Full of crap! Very cheap pop-music. How THIS can sing on Eurovision ???

[chrvlachos]

@Tungus1908 fuck u,that's authentic music for eurovision,nations should send songs born in their countries not cheap rock/pop songs with english lyrics

[linnyhaha]

@chrvlachos You are right! It would be so much better for each country to represent with something of their own identities ......And us Brits will just send the usual tripe LOL!

[danyali2008]

@linnyhaha you know you're right? Why is English an international language? Would better choose another one , so than, u'll require to learn foreign languages, to enrich your general culture, maybee than you"ll never ask questions like: France is in Paris or Paris in France, question from a British. LOL

[chrvlachos]

@linnyhaha your country born The Beatles,i believe u can do better and win that competition if it wasn't so much politics ruled

[linnyhaha]

@chrvlachos Well you never know if we ever enter a good song! Lets see what next year brings!

[AnZku8D]

Best ! (From Finland)

[ORKIC96]

this song is anoying

[HelenaFsp89]

@ORKIC96 if you dont like it ''SKASE APLA'' as we say....

[panosder]

stop talking about greece and turkey this song it's only greek music with lira the greek instrument

[tamaradati]

omg its  sounds soo turkish to me! dont realy like it

[chrvlachos]

@tamaradati it's greek

[costascosti]

@tamaradati not at all it has many greek instruments !! :O

[Danielbride06]

Its an excellent song but isnt Greece a little bit bankrupt at the moment hahahah.

I mean its a great song but i dont think they could afford to host it.

Same with Iceland, an outstanding song but again, they're a little bit in the red in their books too.

Shame really, but however Herzlichen Glückwunsch Deutschland from Ireland

[ReyColons619]

@Danielbride06 Art doesnt have to do with money....

[Danielbride06]

@ReyColons619 in relation to the eurovision, haha YES it does and a hell of a lot too.haha

[juokinguolis]

one of the nicest songs!

[josephmahon1]

Greece should of won not Germany

[AncientPadawan]

@josephmahon1

True,Greece should won eurovision not germany!

[thestarkid1]

this is stolen from icelandic tv !!!

[Danielbride06]

@thestarkid1 Well i dont think Iceland is really in the position to sue anyone anyway. I think its the least they can do for us since the volcano and a bankruptcy that shook the world. Thanks Iceland for sharing the Vid. We might start forgiving you now hahha.

Ah only buzzin. In fairness if it is "stolen" at least its gettin publicity. Look on the positive side lad

[chrvlachos]

@thestarkid1 lol ,congratz to Icelandic tv then for promoting greek music

[6090carol]

@milanlivio Giorgos Alkaios 

[bambi1ization]

BEST!!should have been no.1!

and just to mention Brit presenters were very rude to all European countries.(comments)DO NOT vote for them at all in the future either.

[Daxarac]

The only song of Eurovision that i love is this one! You should have won, but u are the winner to us, Greece - Love from Serbia!

[TheStefancelmare]

I am Turkish. I watched Eurovision till the end. Greece was one of my favorite! It was exactly better then Germany,Romania,Azerbejian,Den­mark and Belgium .I was expecting Greece would be winner. Their show and song was really nice. You can understand they worked&prepared so much.They singed and danced really perfect. I am really sorry for you Greek singers and dancers.

[sisboss]

@TheStefancelmare senin de bn ta amına koyayım sen ne biçim turksun lan adamlar herseyini çalıp çıkmış oraya kemençe ile çıkıoo bizim dio ve çalıolar sende bunu beğeniorsun senin ben taaaaaaaa göt deliğini sikiiimmm yavsak ibne göt veren

[ipinto06]

@valerie8stars Yes, I knew that! Thanks, anyway. He definately deserved to win! Far lot better than that crazy girl from Germany, but...

[AnaroseCullen]

Well, as a Greek, I want to say:

1) a huge THANK U to all Europians who either commented on our song or

voted for as in the finals! ;)

2) a huge MPARVO to every entry!

This year's Eurovision, involved, great performances, talented people and even if George Alkeos & Friends wasn't the winner, I'm still satisfied, because points are just numbers (8th in this case) The important thing for an entry's country, is the feeling of pride & joy when you've shown to public, your culture and your OPA!

[sisboss]

u fucking gay greeks u steel evrything from turks u have stolen baklava u have stolen kemence whata fuck are you trying to do? turks have been fucking you for years and now you steel evry thing from them every one know that you dont have your own culture but dont steel from other countries... from swedenn!!!!!!!!!

[greecerules94]

@sisboss shut it fuckin turk

@sis
