Rugenia returned to the contest in Concord, Plangainer, after a 90 edition hiatus.
They returned in WV117, REBELLION giving them 7th place. Then they went on to win the next edition and grabbed another podium last edition too. Will they keep up their great run of form with "Fuego" by Alvaro?
Alvaro is an Achaean-Rugenian artist from the Rugenian capital Maregrad.
He studied singing and vocal pedagogy at the University of Arts in the Rugenian capital. Later, he became a teacher at a music school. He was well known through his volunteer work for the country’s LGBTQ movement and became one of the organizers of Maregrad Pride.
When he announced he'd be participating in the 122nd WorldVision Song Contest with his first single "Fuego," he became famous overnight in Rugenia.
Wieso schaust du so ratlos
Why do you look so perplexed
Machst mich klein, aber ich bin groß
You make me small, but I'm big
Dachtest du brichst mich
Thought you'd break me
Doch mein Feuer verbrennt dich
But my fire burns you
You said love, but you meant control
Took my fire, tried to drown my soul
Built your throne on my silent cries
Fed your ego with every lie
You made me hide, you made me small
But I learned to rise after every fall
(Wirst mich nicht unterkriegen)
(You won’t break me)
I’m not the boy you broke in two
I found the flame and it burns through you
(Bin stärker als deine charakterlose Visage)
(I’m stronger than your characterless face)
Ahora que vuelvo a renacer
Now that I’m born again
No temo enloquecer
I’m not afraid to go insane
Por fin me empiezo a entender
At last I’m starting to understand myself
Ahora que vuelvo a renacer
Now that I’m born again
Ya no me vas a romper
You won’t break me anymore
Porque en mi fuego voy a arder
Because I’ll burn within my fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
I wore the mask, played the part
Let you poison my sacred art
You needed mirrors, not a man
But I won’t bleed for your master plan
No more silence, no more shame
I reclaimed my real name
From the ashes, I began
Now I dance where fear once ran
Ahora que vuelvo a renacer
Now that I’m born again
No temo enloquecer
I’m not afraid to go insane
Por fin me empiezo a entender
At last I’m starting to understand myself
Ahora que vuelvo a renacer
Now that I’m born again
Ya no me vas a romper
You won’t break me anymore
Porque en mi fuego voy a arder
Because I’ll burn within my fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
I light the match, I choose the flame
No more hiding, no more shame
And if I burn, I burn alive
This is the fire where I survive
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
Fuego
Fire
