2006, ich schalt den Fernsehe an,
WM im eigenen Land,
bunte Fahnen in der Hand,

Die Bilder auf den Straßen gleich
Die Sommerparty frisch und leicht
Ich glaube, ich versteh’!

Lena Meyer-Landrut – Satellite – Eurovision Song Contest 2010 Germany

Final Of The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 - Dress Rehearsals

I went everywhere for you
I even did my hair for you
I bought new underwear, they’re blue
And I wore ‘em just the other day

Love, you know I’ll fight for you
I left on the porch light for you
Whether you are sweet or cruel
I’m gonna love you either wayLove, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
‘Cause I, oh, I can’t go a minute without your love
Like a satellite, I’m in an orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can’t go a minute without your love > whole text

BERLIN – For Bronislaw Hajda, an 85-year-old Polish-American, the trial of John Demjanjuk is a bad omen.

He too trained in an SS camp and was employed as a Wachman (a non-German SS soldier who assisted German soldiers in killing Jews) at a concentration camp in Poland. > more.
