De 1 mai, pe litoral, in prezenta Elenei Udrea si a lui Traian Basescu a fost lansat mult-trambitatul imn turistic al Romaniei, compus de Marius Moga si interpretat de acesta, impreuna cu Loredana, Felicia Filip, Aurelian Temisan si Smiley.
De titlul-slogan al piesei s-a comentat deja prea mult. Cum ca "am furat" sloganul Croatiei, cum ca oricum nu e bine folosita sintagma care s-ar traduce mai degraba prin "taramul fagaduintei" decat printr-o destinatie turistica tangibila, etc. Daca sunteti curiosi totusi insa care sunt versurile piesei, iata mai jos ce am reusit sa transcriem noi:
Versurile imnului Romania - Land of choice
Hey traveler you have been around the world,
You have seen a million things
But you`re still sad.
Why are you so... sad?
Give me your hand and let me show you this land
Where the rivers and mountains have always been friends.
Come and feel the sunshine swimming in the sea
Where the days are the good times
Are ancient history
Come to Romania, the land of choice, see the castels and the kings, hear the nature as it sings
Come to Romania,the land of choice, live the legends, walk the roads, taste the flavours of the gods, Romania!
Come to Romania the land of choice
Its the land that`s walked the roads,
Its the flavor of the gods.
Close your eyes, imagine stars will rise
Weaving legends of princes and towns
Take my hand and fly across this land
You will smile,
Just for a while.
Come and feel the sunshine swimming in the sea
Where the days are the good times
Are ancient history
Come to Romania, the land of choice, see the castels and the kings, hear the nature as it sings
Come to Romania,the land of choice, live the legends, walk the roads, taste the flavours of the gods, Romania!
Dincolo de realizarea artistica totusi modesta, judecand prin prisma numelor implicate in proiect, suntem curiosi la ce buget final s-a ajuns pentru a avea si noi in sfarsit imn turistic. Pe langa suma anuntata oferita compozitorului, probabil ca s-au platit sume frumoase si pentru text, interpretare vocala si instrumentala. Deci costurile nu pot fi doar de 10.000 de euro, pentru ca mai trebuiau platiti si Loredana, Felicia Filip, Aurelian Temisan, Smiley si Zamfir (daca el canta), si nu cred ca au primit fiecare doar 1.000 de euro, nu?
In acest sens ar fi fost poate mai bine sa pastram vechiul slogan: Romania, mereu surprinzatoare!
