New page as in people don't feel like that anymore?

Well, before I would say I do, I made it clear I would never move so far away from my mother that I couldn't drive to see her in a couple of hours.

My children aren't going anywhere either from what I can tell.

My mother crossed an ocean, but things were really bad in Italy, and her mother died when she was ten. She left her father, but he had re-married, and it was different. Even so, in my memory she spent the first five years here crying of homesickness and for her family.

Of course, I suppose we're all different, even Italians. :)
 
Balocchi e Profumi (Toys and Perfumes) - Milva
(Madre Imperfetta)


Toys and perfume

So glittering is the store window
filled with toys and perfumes,

in goes the mom with her daughter,
in the midst of those gleaming lights
she orders : Madam,
powder, cologne and Coty


Mommy,
whispers the child
while her eyes fill with tears,
for your little girl
you never buy any toys.
Mommy, you only buy
perfumes for yourself !


She, in the fragrant parlor
abundant with cushions and silks,
offers her plump lips to sin,
while the child, indiscreet,
half-closes that doorway
full of Coty fragrance...


Mommy,
whispers the child
while her eyes fill with tears,
for your little girl
you never buy any toys.
Mommy, you only buy
perfumes for yourself !


Frail, the child is dying,
now the mom is no longer selfish,
she rushes to purchase all the toys in display
for her ailing daughter.
My dearest love, here are the toys for you !


Thank you,
whispers the child ;
she’d like to fondle those toys,
but she lays down her head instead
and her eyes are already closing.
Full of regret, the mom starts crying
while holding her close to her heart...

Balocchi e Profumi - Milva

Text
Tutta sfolgorante è la vetrina
Piena di balocchi e profumi.
Entra con la mamma la bambina
Tra lo sfolgorio di quei lumi.
"comanda, signora?"
"cipria e colonia coty".

"mamma", mormora la bambina
Mentre pieni di pianto ha gli occhi,
"per la tua piccolina
Non compri mai balocchi,
Mamma, tu compri soltanto
I profumi per te".


Ella, nel salotto profumato
Ricco di cuscini di seta,
Porge il labbro tumido al peccato
Mentre la bambina indiscreta
Dischiude quel nido
Pieno d'odor di coty.

"mamma", mormora la bambina
Mentre pieni di pianto ha gli occhi,
"per la tua piccolina
Non compri mai balocchi,
Mamma, tu compri soltanto
I profumi per te".

Esile, agonizza la bambina,
Or la mamma non è più ingrata.
Corre a vuotar tutta la vetrina
Per la sua figliola malata.
"amore mio bello,
Ecco i balocchi per te".

"grazie" mormora la bambina,
Vuole toccare quei balocchi,
Ma il capo già reclina
E già socchiude gli occhi.
Piange la mamma, pentita,
Stringendola al cuor!

Ah, I love sentimental songs. :) Luckily, however, my mother was nothing like her.

I don't like Anna Tatangelo much, but...

Eurovision Song Contest 2018

The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 is the 63rd edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It takes place for the first time in Portugal following the country's first victory at the 2017 contest in Kiev, Ukraine with the song "Amar pelos dois", performed by Salvador Sobral. The contest is held at the Altice Arena in Lisbon and consists of two semi-finals on 8 and 10 May and a final on 12 May 2018.[2] The three live shows are hosted by Filomena Cautela, Sílvia Alberto, Daniela Ruah and Catarina Furtado.
Final
Twenty-six countries will participate in the final, with all 43 participating countries eligible to vote. The running order for the final was revealed after the press conference of the second semi-final qualifiers on 10 May.[60]
 
There are three Albanian singers in the final night representing three different countries.
Eugent Bushpepa for Albania:

Eugent Bushpepa - Mall - Albania
 
Ermal Meta for Italy:
In a duet with Fabrizio Moro, he won the Sanremo Music Festival 2018 with the song "Non mi avete fatto niente", and will represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Ermal Meta e Fabrizio Moro - Non mi avete fatto niente - Italy
 
Eleni Foureira for Cyprus:
She later considered taking part in Eurosong 2015 - NERIT & MAD show, but ultimately did not.[17] She once again attempted to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Come Tiki Tam", but was rejected by Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT).[18][19] She was rejected by the broadcaster for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 again.[20]

In February 2018, it was confirmed that Foureira would represent Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the song "Fuego".[21] The song was composed by Greek-Swedish songwriter Alex Papaconstantinou.[22][23] On 8 May 2018, she qualified from the first semi-final to the grand final.[24][25]

No problem. I just didn't understand what you meant.

I love that song no matter who sings it. I only wish my mother were still alive so that she could hear it.

What Up with That?

... If you ain’t first, you’re last! ... “Ricky Bobby”
 
I’m not naming names
(going conspiracy theory now, lol) but the winner of Eurovision didn’t deserve to win.
It’s Political. A Country has just flexed her Influental and organized muscle..
Tomorrow a brand New Embassy in a Controversial Capital will be opened.. Many UE Countries are against it.
The timing is indisputable.
Just saying it. :)
