[Kalosia]

Welcome to the fourth evening and final night of the 60th Kalosian Song Festival!

Tonight, the 14 finalists (shown above) will compete. At the end of the night, one of them will be crowned the winner.

Let the show begin!

[Kalosia]

translation: A woman with courage
tune: Senza appartenere — Nina Zilli

Here's our first act tonight. Rakel Ehtefanes, who comes from Palmañë, had previously established a career in voice acting, including dubbing foreign children's movies (and the songs within them) into Kalosian. Of course, her vocal talent does not stop there, and she has entered the music industry as well. Here, she is making her FKK debut with a song about women's empowerment.

Senzë un dubiu
Ja voľu a soñarë
Ja voľu ad andarë

Ad un postu ove sta
Un kaminu dëla vitë per mi
Unë donë kon koražu

Dišel mi, kele plante kë rigevi?
Dišel mi, kele verite kë diťevi?
Ariva un altru žornu
Ariva un altru mondu

Without a doubt
I want to dream
I want to go

To a place where there is
A path of life for me
A woman with courage

Tell me, which plants have you watered?
Tell me, which truths have you told?
Another day has arrived
Another world has arrived

translation: Red morning
tune: Empires — Alicja

Lidianë Marino previously represented Kalosia at the 34th World it Festival. Tonight, she will be performing Matinë rosë, a rather melancholic but dramatic ballad about a dying love.

Komë unë rožë u noji mani
Noj sangwinamu per sentirë ši
Amurë flestandu
E mi diši komë va

Ed or
Si pošu kašerë
Miu koru dali korvi

Like a rose in our hands
We bleed to feel each other
Wilting love
And you ask me how it’s going

And now
If I can hide
My heart from the ravens

[Kalosia]

translation: Another word
tune: Il farmacista — Max Gazzè

Akwilë Blankë came 3rd at the 48th World Hit Festival and has since became a household name. Now here they are with Un altrë parolë, a song sung from the perspective of a singer trying to convince his suspecting lover that he is innocent, and that things are not as they seem.

Per favorë, kredël mi
(No, es veru!)

Ǧoki la detektivë benkë au nintë per kašerë
E sapi kë es un malintensu
Ti mošavu le prove sonu false
Ma tu në školta mi (këz pošu dirë?)

Ja sapu kë tu penši kelu tu senti
Da bokë mia es solu un altrë parolë

Please believe me
(No, it’s true!)

You play detective even though I have nothing to hide
And you know it’s a misunderstanding
I showed you that the evidence is fake
But you don’t listen to me (what can I say?)

I know that you think what you hear
From my mouth is just another word

translation: Every hour
tune: Vanishing Paycheck (월급은 통장을 스칠 뿐) — Stella Jang

This will be Elisë Fernandi's second time at FKK, having previously competed a few years ago. Her entry can be interpreted as the first "COVID song" of this year's selection, i.e. a song whose lyrics reference the pandemic or its effects. Oñë orë lyrically discusses boredom and time that passes, drawing comparisons to quarantine and the act of staying home during the pandemic.

Es l’orë dwe
Ankorë sto kosi
Un altru martidiés sul devanu

Ma san un arbelu kë resta
Kadë lë mondu interu avanti va
Ja ťerku pëla kalmë kë sta ula kazë
Ed oñë orë pasa lë stesu

Nanana, nanana, nanana
Nanana nana nana, nanana…

It’s two o’clock
I’m still like this
Another Thursday on the couch

But I am a tree that stays
When the whole world moves on
I look for the calm that exists at home
And every hour passes all the same

Nanana, nanana, nanana
Nanana nana nana, nanana…

[Kalosia]

translation: My truth
tune: Stop This Flame — Celeste

Dafne Maržanu is back after last participating at the 2019 Festival dëla Kanžu Kalosianë. She also represented Kalosia at the 55th World Hit Festival in Brahmokerto, Fromulya. Her song tonight, Verita mia, is an anthem of empowerment.

Ovëz es storia tia? Dilo
Ovëz es animë tia? Dilo
Ovëz es speranzë tia? Dilo
(Dilo, dilo, dilo)

Kestë es veritë mia
Kë venta banderë mia
E san lë foku kë
Ilumina lë mondu interu

Where is your story? Tell it
Where is your soul? Tell it
Where is your hope? Tell it
(Tell it, tell it, tell it)

This is my truth
That flies my flag
And I’m the fire that
Illuminates the whole world

translation: Just like us
tune: Childhood — Peter Bič Project

Song six is Komë noš by Cafalonesque band GjardinRógj. They are making their FKK debut, but they have been established in the local music scene in Cafalon for a while now. They often sing in the regional language Cafalonesque, but tonight they will perform in Kalosian. In the song, GjardinRógj compares a romantic relationship to the elements of nature.

Ed or
Respira lë ventu
Sentu
Li arbeli susuranu paroli d’amurë

Komë noš

And now
The wind breathes
I hear
The trees whispering words of love

Just like us

[Kalosia]

translation: Come to me
tune: Njësoj — Enxhi Nasufi

Song 7 is Venël a mi. This year, Zara X is making her FKK debut. However, she is a nationally-known up-and-coming artist who has had some success in the past few years on the Kalosian music charts. This song is no different from her typical repertoire, and Zara sings about the longing she has for her partner.

Durantë keste lunge note
U soñi moji la staj solu ti
Tu mi manki, baby
Venël a mi, na na na
Venël a mi, oh oh oh

Kadë tu staj ki, oľu probleme moje
Lo es tiu superpower
Ed au besoñu solu di braši toji
Lašal mi la rëmanerë

During these long nights
It’s only you in my dreams
I miss you, baby
Come to me, na na na
Come to me, oh oh oh

When you’re here, I forget my problems
That’s your superpower
And I only need your arms
Let me stay there

translation: Your mystery
tune: Xheloz — Elvana Gjata

We're halfway there now! Lejla Brahimi won Festival dëla Kanžu 16 years ago, in 2005, with the song Unë paginë novë. Tonight the veteran is singing Misteru tiu, in which Lejla ponders upon a budding romance, desiring her lover to reveal their mystery to her.

Unë notë per rëkordarë
Ov’z andarë da ki?
Dišël mi kele parole
Kë voľu sentirë:
“T’amu, t’amu, t’amu…”

Nël laša mi u l’oskurita
Ti segiru ala verita
Unë pašio kë susura a noš
Voľu saperë misteru tiu

A night to remember
Where to go from here?
Tell me those words
That I want to hear:
“I love you, I love you, I love you…”

Don’t leave me in the dark
I’ll follow you to the truth
A passion that whispers to us
I want to know your mystery

[Kalosia]

translation: Borrow my heart
tune: Out on Love — The Brahms

The ninth of the night is the band Lësusetë. Although they are making their FKK debut, they have been known for winning Festival dele Melodie Kalosiane and subsequently representing Kalosia at the 50th World Hit Festival. For those unfamiliar, their name is a phonetic Kalosian spelling of the France Gall song Les succettes. Tonight they are performing Imprutel koru miu, which compares the singer's love interest to a thief, asking her to borrow the singer's heart instead of stealing it.

Aj prenduto molti baši di mi
E se domanesë, ja diventere tiu

Imprutel koru miu
Perše ti lo dare
Nël robi koru miu
Nël së unë latrë

You took so many kisses from me
And if you asked, I would become yours

Borrow my heart
Because I’d give it to you
Don’t steal my heart
Don’t be a thief

translation: His final prayer
tune: Si 'etais un homme — Camélia Jordana

The first of the two WV winners performing tonight, Lucia Edin was Kalosia's first victor back in the 42nd edition. Here she performs another ballad, a very passionate one too. Sia prehiérë oltimë is about the prayers of a dying man who laments about the life he is leaving behind, expressing the regrets he has. Although the song doesn't explicitly mention the pandemic, the song does feel relevant in that context, and serves as a reminder that all life comes to an end.

Se avisë un momentu
Voľere lašarë
Tudi dubi moji
Per segirë moji soñi

Sta u l’oskurita
U dëfensë di luj
Në poševa moverë
Ultrë la vergoñë

If I had a moment
I would leave
All my doubts
To follow my dreams

He stands in the dark
In his defence
He couldn’t move
Above the shame

[Kalosia]

translation: Light will always remain
tune: Musica (e il resto scompare) — Elettra Lamborghini

The daughter of Kalosian singer and FKK 1982 winner Robiarto Siara, Valencina Siara is one of Kalosia's biggest singers of the past several years. Her music dominated Kalosian charts towards the end of the past decade, and due to her popularity she is often wanted by song contest fans to represent Kalosia internationally, although many others have seen her as being too popular for such shows. She is based in Palmañë and is making her debut at the festival, although with a much bigger following than some of the show's other debutants. Her song is a feel-good tune meant to inspire and motivate listeners.

Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera

U l’oskurita, rëkordal kë tu sej belë
Oñu žornu es una oportunita
Per trovarë lë novu amurë kë speta
Un amurë kë ti portara la verita

Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera
Semprë la luž rëmanera

The light will always remain
The light will always remain
The light will always remain
The light will always remain

In the darkness, remember that you’re beautiful
Every day is an opportunity
To find the new love that awaits
A love that will bring you the truth

The light will always remain
The light will always remain
The light will always remain
The light will always remain

translation: I will never forget
tune: Finirà bene — Ermal Meta

Performing 12th once again is Filipe Gardañu. His song, N'oľeru maj, manifests as a promise to his lover that he will never forget them no matter where life takes him.

N’oľeru, n’oľeru, n’oľeru (maj!)
(Maj!)
(Maj!)

N’oľeru maj d’oñu momentu au kon ti
N’oľeru maj lë koru kë aj datu mi
N’oľeru maj, perki sej mia prešozu tesoru
Sej mia prešozu tesoru

N’oľeru maj d’oñu momentu au kon ti
N’oľeru maj lë koru kë aj datu mi
N’oľeru maj, amikë, prometu n’oľeru maj

I won’t forget, I won’t forget, I won’t forget (never!)
(Never!)
(Never!)

I’ll never forget every moment I have with you
I’ll never forget the heart that you gave me
I’ll never forget because you are my precious jewel
You are my precious jewel

I’ll never forget every moment I have with you
I’ll never forget the heart that you gave me
I’ll never forget, my love, I promise I’ll never forget

[Kalosia]

translation: High
tune: Ajër — Sara Bajraktari

The penultimate song of the night is Altu by Martina Guerra. The song is a folk ballad that calls upon people to reach for the stars.

Aaah…
Li kori stanu batendu
Aaah…
Al ritmu di niu destinu

Altu
Insemë anderemu altu
Pošamu atenerë le stele
Altu, altu
Lë futuro saremu

Aaah…
Hearts are beating
Aaah…
To the pace of our destiny

High
Together we will go high
We can reach the stars
High, high
We will be the future

translation: Royals
tune: Ringo Starr — Zlato

And here comes the final song of the night. Zlato won the 78th WorldVision Song Contest in Malta Comino Gozo and to date is Kalosia's most recent WV winner. Here, the band sings "Rejali" a cocky song that is in reality an ironic critique of the attitudes of certain (privileged) people towards global affairs. In a contemporary 2020s context, this can touch upon those who believe they are invincible from the pandemic as well.

Uv un mondu di bon e di meľu san ja un rejal
Uv un mondu di bon e di meľu san ja un rejal
Uv un mondu di bon e di meľu san ja un rejal
Woah-woah-oh woah-woah-oh-oh

Kadonu li deboli ma san bravu
Perki moji ǧojeli pošonu komprarë mi foržë, oh
Kadë un ťita es dëstruto
Perki li efekti di ažioni moji (fuǧu)
Volu altrove perki meretu la vitë meľor
Komë au ja (orgoľu)

In a world of good and better, I’m a royal
In a world of good and better, I’m a royal
In a world of good and better, I’m a royal
Woah-woah-oh woah-woah-oh-oh

The weak fall but I am brave
Because my jewels can afford me strength, oh oh
When a city is destroyed
Because of the consequences of my actions (I escape)
I fly elsewhere because I deserve the best life
As if I have (pride)
