And now  Ireland's song, where Irish language is included of course  First, Irish bit: SiĂșil, SiĂșil, SiĂșil a rĂșnSiĂșil go socair agus shiĂșil go ciĂșin SiĂșil go doras agus Ă©alaigh liomIs go dtĂ© tĂș mo mhuirnĂn slĂĄn..Walk, Walk, Walk My Love Walk quietly, and peacefully Walk to the door and fly with me And may you go safely my darling How do one pronounce those letters in Irish Ăș Ă© ĂĄ Ă ? ĂĄ = long ''a''. for example: uafĂĄsach (horrible) = uhfaasach - the a just is sounded longer Ă© = ''ey'' like ''ay'' yeah I must use these examples it makes it simpler Ă = ''ee'' Ăș = ''uu'' - basically becomes a little longer |

It's not only with words but the letters themselves are pronounced like that.  You can have these at the start of words, they'd be pronounced just like I told you. But in a case maybe you have Ă©a = that'd probably be ai or close. If you listen: SĂșil go doras agus Ă©alaigh liom This would be ''ai'' Oh and terribly sorry for the #Offtopic We could continue in that topic  |

I currently love the fact I don't have to learn those things.  |

Was it difficult? #Offtopic I'm yet to take it BUT we're practicing Even if the exam is in 2016 It's not so difficult but can be at times; saying things in Irish mainly. Talking about school, area, interests, family etc |

In case you were wondering what the  Hungarian song is about: Far away there lived a girl So far, where not even the wind blows There was a castle in the middle of a deep forest. There was a colourful, lively ball Attended by a wanderer from far lands And locked a cursed chain on the girl's heart But when the dawn comes A little melody flies Chorus: Wake up little star The dance begins Tell me what you wish for And the tomorrow will bring it. Wake up little star The dance begins How many years will you wait Until a new life comes for you from the dream. Summer turned to winter and winter to summer The wanderer went far away long ago The girl still sleeps frozen to ice There is no way out of the curse Out of the still dream Not even hundred princes will find her. But when the dawn comes A little melody flies |

The English translation of the  Philippine entry: 'Cause we ainât even on earth tonight We on a planet where the dudes got money and they're not afraid to spend it (Ayo, ayo) And everything is alright (Ayo, ayo) 'Cause we ainât even on earth tonight We on a planet where there ainât no drama and the partyâs never ending (Ayo, ayo) And everything is alright (Ayo, ayo) Anyway, the Philippines has voted! |
