The Song

La fine di Narciso

Nel bosco silente, sotto il cielo sereno,
Camminava Narciso, bello come un sogno.
Ogni passo che faceva, la natura s'inchinava,
Ma nel suo cuore, solo sé stesso amava.

Oh Narciso, bello e maledetto,
Nel tuo riflesso, hai trovato il tuo diletto.
Oh Narciso, l'amore ti ha ingannato,
Nell'acqua chiara, il tuo destino è annegato.

Le ninfe lo chiamavano, con voci dolci e pure,
Ma lui, indifferente, cercava solo l'ammirazione sicura.
Un giorno, al fiume giunse, assetato e stanco,
Vide il suo volto nell'acqua, e nacque il suo incanto.

Oh Narciso, bello e maledetto,
Nel tuo riflesso, hai trovato il tuo diletto.
Oh Narciso, l'amore ti ha ingannato,
Nell'acqua chiara, il tuo destino è annegato.

"Chi è quest'uomo che mi guarda così affascinato?"
Pensò Narciso, dal suo stesso aspetto incantato.
Si chinò per baciarlo, ma l'illusione svanì,
E nel dolore del rifiuto, il suo spirito languì.

Oh Narciso, bello e maledetto,
Nel tuo riflesso, hai trovato il tuo diletto.
Oh Narciso, l'amore ti ha ingannato,
Nell'acqua chiara, il tuo destino è annegato.

Giorni e notti passavano, lui non si staccava,
Dall'immagine amata, che mai lo ricambiava.
Finché, consumato dal desiderio, si spense in un sospiro,
E nel luogo dove cadde, crebbe un fiore d'argento e di mirto.

Oh Narciso, bello e maledetto,
Nel tuo riflesso, hai trovato il tuo diletto.
Oh Narciso, l'amore ti ha ingannato,
Nell'acqua chiara, il tuo destino è annegato.

In the silent forest, under the clear sky,
Narcissus walked, beautiful as a dream.
Every step he took, nature bowed,
But in his heart, he loved only himself.

Oh Narcissus, beautiful and cursed,
In your reflection, you have found your delight.
Oh Narcissus, love has deceived you,
In the clear water, your destiny is drowned.

The nymphs called him, with sweet and pure voices,
But he, indifferent, was only looking for certain admiration.
One day, he came to the river, thirsty and tired,
He saw his face in the water, and his enchantment was born.

Oh Narcissus, beautiful and cursed,
In your reflection, you have found your delight.
Oh Narcissus, love has deceived you,
In the clear water, your destiny is drowned.

“Who is this man looking at me so fascinated?”
Narcissus thought, looking enchanted himself.
He bent down to kiss it, but the illusion vanished,
And in the pain of rejection, his spirit languished.

Oh Narcissus, beautiful and cursed,
In your reflection, you have found your delight.
Oh Narcissus, love has deceived you,
In the clear water, your destiny is drowned.

Days and nights passed, he didn't leave his side,
From the beloved image, which never reciprocated him.
Until, consumed by desire, he died in a sigh,
And in the place where he fell, a flower of silver and myrtle grew.

Oh Narcissus, beautiful and cursed,
In your reflection, you have found your delight.
Oh Narcissus, love has deceived you,
In the clear water, your destiny is drowned.

Nope. However, Norway and Serbia are one of the weirdly underrated ones and I didn’t expect to see UK getting zero points

Them all trying to be quirky by singing the song they're giving 12 points to but it's not quirky at all because they're all doing it.
