The indent of RTVK was played, indicating the beginning of the RTVK's international broadcast of the World Hit Festival. The camera panned across the venue, finally ending by showing the logo of the 26th World Hit Festival (shown above) being displayed on the screen. Afterwards, the orchestra promptly began playing the song that most recently won.
Amiral Me - Paola Amadin
"Love Me", performed in Kalosian to the tune of I'll Be Waiting - Adele
Kalosian pronunciation guide
The host conductor is Eldin Sakranova. He's already at the conductor's podium, and begins the orchestra's rendition of the winning song.
As the song begins, Paola walks out from backstage and through the orchestra. She wore the same outfit from her WHF25 performance. She walks to the center of the stage, with her mic in hand. Later after the first or second verse she gets to the mic stand and attaches her mic to it, staying there for the rest of the performance.
Tthe background was black but as the song progressed white lace patterns grew.
Regular text sung by Paola, (brackets) sung by the backing singers, bolded text sung together by all.
Kadë ja švejo
Šuaki ǧor
Këlkosë sentë vito
Së se në komplet
Ja aprežo
Šuaki moment
Kadë parli a me
Kadë tu soriri
Divenom vež
Komë un modë këlo
I pasat iǧa
Komë lë vento
E šuaki ǧor
Ja penšo
Ežomëz enkor bella
Tu e ja?
In the next part, the backing singers provided vocal "oh"s harmonically to the tune of the song.
Në puvo vivë aksi
Ja t’amiro
Brigo di te
Brigo, tu lašinëz me?
Ma ja reston
Senon fortë
Vedro ten faco e diro:
As the chorus came, the lace patterns faded away while the phrase "Love me" gradually appeared on the black background screen in the languages of all the participating countries, in various fonts, all in white text. The Kalosian "Amiral me" was of course the biggest.
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
As the next verse began, the phrases disappeared and the lace patterns returned.
Kadë ja švejo
Šuaki ǧor
Këlkosë sentë vito
Së se në komplet
E šuaki ǧor
Ja penšo
Ežomëz enkor bella
O un memoria?
Again like the previous pre-chorus, the backing singers provided harmonizing "oh"s.
Në puvo vivë aksi
Ja t’amiro
Brigo di te
Brigo, tu lašinëz me
Ma ja reston
Senon fortë
Vedro ten faco e diro:
Again, the phrase "Love me" reappeared on the screen just like in the previous chorus.
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
The lights became a bit dim and the background entirely black.
Ja t’amiro (Ja t'amiro)
Di te brigo (Di te brigo)
Në puvo, në puvo vivë aksi
Ja t’amiro (Ja t'amiro)
Di te brigo (Di te brigo)
Në puvo, në puvo vivë aksi
Në puvo vivë aksi
The lights became bright again, the background having lace patterns, and there was a pyro curtain appearing as well.
Amiral me!
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
The pyro curtain gradually came to a stop.
Amiral me enkor
Komë avan ur, kadë ežomt ǧiuna
Ambražal me, speto
Puvom eža’l steli avan venurë l’alba
As the song ended, all the background screens became black. And then it dissolved to display scenery of Kalosia, accompanying the next song.
Kalosianë Amurë - Paola Amadin
"Kalosian Love", performed in Kalosian to the tune of Bengawan Solo - Anneke Grönloh
Kalosian pronunciation guide
For this song Paola mostly stood there while the background screens showed scenery of the host nation. The conductor waved his baton and the song began.
Kalosianë amurë
Te spetë a un abër
Së vul tokë te kon sen
Sof mani, il t’amirar
Kalosianë amurë
Nuošës attraves l’ožeanë
Per te vedre un fot enkor
Ankë sa së se frida
L’alba arvenë šuaki matinë
Së’s bella komë nušen amurë
Ma t’amirinëz me kadë n’ivo
Lë belležë enkor?
Kalosianë amurë
Ja spiranzo kë së
Morën ǧame, ja spiranzo
Kë se vivën a lë timpo finë
During this instrumental break, the camera focused on the orchestra playing the song.
Kalosianë amurë
Te spetë a un abër
Së vul tokë te kon sen
Sof mani, il t’amirar
Kalosianë amurë
Nuošës attraves l’ožeanë
Per te vedre un fot enkor
Ankë sa së se frida
L’alba arvenë šuaki matinë
Së’s bella komë nušen amurë
Ma t’amirinëz me kadë n’ivo
Lë belležë enkor?
Kalosianë amurë
Ja spiranzo kë së
Morën ǧame, ja spiranzo
Kë se vivën a lë timpo finë
Spiranzo kë së morën ǧame
E vivën a lë timpo finë
The song ended, the crowd cheered, and then Paola took her camera off the mic stand and walked to the right of the stage, so that the front screen was right behind her. She gestures to the conductor and says:
Thank you to Mr. Eldin Sakranova for being such a great conductor! He will be here with us for the rest of the night, making sure that the music we hear tonight are of the best quality, even if it means working with other conductors and letting them take the spot!
The crowd cheers, and they'll do so at each paragraph break at the next part.
My name is Paola Amadin and I won the last contest in Gorgona. It was such a wonderful show and to that I'd like to thank those in the Sarian who helped make it as good as it was!
However, I am only hear to sing and entertain you guys, and to reprise my song. Your host for tonight is not me. Rather, let's welcome to the stage someone you may know as she was the very first Kalosian entrant back in the 7th World Hit Festival. She's also hosted WorldVision before and now she's trying the WHF. Let's welcome to the stage, the wonderful... Allica Ilham!
Allica Ilham enters the stage and walks towards Paola as the crowd cheers. A bit of music plays, and stops as Allica reaches her.
A: Thank you Paola, and thank you everyone for having me here tonight. Yes, I will be the one to accompany you through our musical journey tonight.
P: Now, if you'll excuse me I'll join you all and sit back and enjoy the show. *she leaves the stage*
A: See you later! Now, tonight we'll hear beautiful songs from 9 countries being performed, and afterwards you will be able to vote on your favourites. And then, we will reveal who the winner is, but more on that later. For now, just do what Paola did and sit back and enjoy the show! So, are you ready? Let the 26th World Hit Festival begin!
Pyrotechnics went off. It was time to see the first performance, from Cheongji.
