Which foreign country I would like to visit by Helen Krekou


A country that I would like to visit

I like trips and I have been abroad. I have been to some Greek islands, and they were so beautiful. I have been to France specifically in Disneyland and it was the best trip in my life.

I would like to visit many countries. My dream is to go round the world. I would like to start from Argentina, because I've heard from my friends that Argentina is very beautiful and an interesting country. I've also seen movies and series about that country and from the first moment I have adored this country.

I know one person from Argentina and she is very good and their traditional food is delicious. In summer they do a lot of festivals and parties. Dancing and music are their life.

I think it is possible to visit this country when I grow up. I will visit it with my friends, I hope so !!!

gotta feeling


My favorite song is I gotta feeling by Black Eyes Peas.

I like the song because it's funky and it reminds me of summer.

The song is about enjoying the night and feel that is a good night.
When I hear the song I raise the volume because I love it and I never get tired of hearing it.
I really like the songs of Black Eyes Peas, but this is what I like best, of course.



I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good night

that tonight's gonna be a good good night (x4)

Tonight's the night night

Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up


Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF


I know that we'll have a ball

If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all


I feel stressed out

I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out

and loosing all control

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov
Look at her dancing

Just take it off


Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

Let's Do it (x13)

And live it up

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night (x2)


Tonight's the night
Let's live it up

I got my money
Let's spend it up


Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF


Fill up my cup (Drink)
Mozoltov (La' Chaim)
Look at her dancing (Move it Move it)
Just take it off


Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
and then we'll do it again


Lets do it (x15)
Let's live it up


Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock


Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top


Feel the shot
Body rock
Rock it don't stop


Round and round
Up and down

Around the clock

You know what we say

I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a good night

That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

Kesha - Tick Tock




by Barbara and Roberta V. from Italy

Barbara says:

My favourite song is Tick Tock by Kesha. It’s really great! I love it because it conveys to me energy, rhythm, and cheerfulness. As I listened to it for the first time during a meeting with some friends of mine, everytime I listen to it I remember happy moments of my life and it "recharges" me in a really unique way! It makes me fly in the air even though my feet are firmly anchored to the ground but “slightly” restless. If I can, I always dance while the notes of this music flow. It makes me crazy!! I like the closing very much because it is like a relaxing moment after such a frenetic rhythm!


Roberta says:

My favourite song is Tick Tock by Kesha. I like the rhythm of this song because it gives me energy, joy and fun…

Lyrics

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Put my glasses on, I’m out the door
I’m gonna hit this city (Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back
I’m talking – pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite cds
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don’t stop
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh (x2)
Ain’t got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain’t got no money in my pocket, but I’m already here
And now the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I’m talking about – everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys trying to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now – we goin till they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us -
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don’t stop
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh (x2)
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yea, you got me
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
No, the party don’t start until I walk in
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don’t stop
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh (x2)

Michael Jackson - Heal the World

by Gianluca A. from Italy

Heal The World is my favourite song. It is full of meaning and expresses emotions and feelings that make you think about the whole world ... the song is sung by the King of Pop: Michael Jackson, who died on June 25th, 2009. Heal the World was the song he was most proud of. In this song, Michael would like us not to stand back from the tragedies that fall on people who are less lucky than us and invites us to make the world a better place…

LYRICS

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll Find There's No Need
To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In the bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

(Chorus)

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Chorus
(Repeat 3 times)

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
(Repeat Once)

You and for me
You and for me
(Repeat 9 more times)

Tokio Hotel - World Behind My Wall


by Alessia from Italy


Tokio Hotel is my favourite group. It is a German band founded by the singer Bill Kaulitz, the guitarist Tom Kaulitz, the drummer Gustav Schäfer and the bassist Georg Listing.
Their latest single is World Behind My Wall. I like it because when Bill sings in this song he is sweet and at the same time he’s energetic.


Lyrics

It’s raining today
The blinds are shut
It’s always the same
I tried all the games that They play
but they Made me insane
Life on tv
It’s random
It means nothing to me
I’m writing down
What cannot see
Wanna wake up in a dream

Oh
They’re telling me
It’s beautiful
I believe them
But will I ever know
The world behind my wall
Oh
The sun will shine
Like never before
One day will be
Ready to go
See the world behind my wall

Trains in the sky
Are travelling
Through fragments of time
They’re taking me to parts
Of my mind
That no one can find

I’m ready to fall
I’m ready to crawl
One my knees to know it all
I’m ready to heal
I’m ready to feel

Oh
They’re telling me
It’s beautiful
I believe them
But will I ever know
The world behind my wall
Oh
The sun will shine
Like never before
One day will be
Ready to go
See the world behind my wall
See the world behind my wall
See the world behind my wall
See the world behind my wall

I’m ready to fall
I’m ready to crawl
One my knees to know it all
I’m ready to heal
I’m ready to feel

…Take me there!

Oh
They’re telling me
It’s beautiful
I believe them
But will I ever know
The world behind my world
