Poland - Góry do góry (Mountains up)

We are happy to present Polish song for Schoolovision 2023 project. A song of the popular Polish children's group Małe TGD is about children's faith and power. 

Perhaps not everyone will notice, but the song is partly in Polish, partly in Ukrainian. Our Polish and Ukrainian students sing together. 

Góry do góry (music and lyrics Piotr Nazaruk)

You're walking through the beautiful world slowly
Suddenly stop!
Some wall, menacing shadow
Oh it's fear is a great mountain of fear
But you don't fear, just believe
If such mountains cannot be jumped over
If such mountains cannot be circumvented
So mountains up a child's faith
Can throw them into the sea at once
Mountains up, the sea can't wait
For the big "plum"

The Czech Republic - Kdyby byla Morava

This year we chose the folk song Kdyby byla Morava, which is often sung at folk festivals and concerts. Folk songs are songs whose original author is unknown. Hustopeče is located in Moravia, so folk songs are close to us. We created the video clip ourselves with the children. 

 

 Chorus: Ale že je Morava malučká, ošidila dcérečka synečka, 

               ale že je Morava malučká, ošidila dcérečka synečka.

Germany - What do you love?

What do you love?
This was the question our pupils were asked when they started working on this year's entry.
After two intense weeks of transforming the resulting lyrics into a song, developing a dance choreography as well as recording audio and video, we happily and proudly present the German entry to Schoolovision 2023.

Me and you, me and you, me and you - let's make life a theme park

Me and you, me and you, me and you - you and I together with others every day

Me and you, me and you, me and you - because we need a WE in our presence

Me and you, me and you, me and you - let's live our own dream like Peter Pan

Finland - Viidakkolaulu / The Jungle Song

Kurittula school is very happy to be able to represent Finland in the Schoolovision 2023 contest! Our song this year is a famous Finnish children's song: Viidakkolaulu (The Jungle Song). We don't have jungles in Finland, so it's a very exciting world for us. Welcome to our jungle!

1. Where a wanderer will be followed by eyes, who will dare to arrive.

You won’t be left alone in the jungle, your steps will be heard.

A hundred eyes over there following you, steps all around you.

Bakela ee matabele pelite.

2. The sun sets behind the woods, every twig has fingers. 

Touching the nightly wanderer. No need to hurry anymore. 

A hundred eyes over there following you, steps all around you.

Bakela ee matabele pelite.

3. Howling from a distance, something flying by.

The jungle is crying, whining, the morning seems so far away.

A hundred eyes over there following you, steps all around you.

Bakela ee matabele pelite.

Switzerland - Beauty

Surely, all of you relate to the place you are living in. You feel connected to the landscape, the rivers, lakes, trees or the way you perceive colours. There are a lot of things that people use to identify regions, like, "this is typically German or French or Italian ... or Swiss." We list a few of these typical things but would like to explain to you that above all that, the one thing that really makes us feel at home is the beauty of this country.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of wonderful entries to this year's Schoolovision.

Enjoy, stay well and lots of love

from Switzerland
