      The biography:
      Lena Philipsson hails from Smaland in southern Sweden. After winning a childrens’ talent contest at the age of 16 she went from success to success, taking part in the Swedish national finals of the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 1986 with “Love is eternal,” where she came second. The following year she competed with “Dancing in the Neon Light,” and finished fifth. In 1988 it was almost third time lucky when she came second once again with, yes, a song called “Once Again.” Lena has also taken part in the contest as a composer of lyrics and music.
      Lena has been voted Sweden’s sexiest woman. She has toured Sweden with her own stage shows and has participated in several charity galas, toured with show “Rhapsody in Rock” and has made frequent television appearances.
      Her first idol was David Cassidy. Not because she’d ever heard him sing, but because he was a ‘suitable’ pin-up. The group “Sweet,” on the other hand, totally fascinated her. Otherwise, her musical tastes haven’t so much been Rock’n’Roll as synth, disco and soul. At upper secondary school she opted for the structural engineering programme and she was once a keen table tennis player – at one point she ranked 5th in Sweden.
      The pop star, Thomas “Orup” Eriksson composed the winning song “Det gor ont” especially for Lena. As an artist, he released his first album in 1988. Since then Orup has released seven albums. He is very well respected and loved by the Swedish people.

original english lyrics

Nobody but me, could know the way I feel

I'm standing on the rooftop
And I'm crying out your name
I'm looking for an answer
And for somebody to blame
'Cause even though it's over
You linger on my mind, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid

Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh it hurts

I'm trying to forget love
The pain I feel inside
I'm clinging to my pillow
And the tears I cannot hide
I wish it could be over
So I can start anew, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid

Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh

Not easy to remember
And even harder to forget
Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender)
Oh, you're always on my mind...

(Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts)
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid

Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, ooh it hurts
I wish I could be stronger
Oh, but it hurts


in russian (cyrillic font)

Что чувствую я, не может никто знать

Стою я на вершине
Твоё имя я кричу
Ответы я ищу и
На кого свалить вину
Пусть бал закончен, но ты
Застрял в моей душе, о-о

Боль, эта боль, моя боль
В темноте густой ночи
В свете ясного дня
Знаешь ты про боль
Эту боль, мою боль
Как хочу я стать сильнее
Но боли боюсь

Что чувствую я, не может никто знать
Эта боль, моя боль

Любовь забыть хочу я
Ту боль, что в глубине
Рыдаю я в подушку
Но не спрятать слёзы мне
Закончится пускай всё
Жизнь заново начну, о-о

Боль, эта боль, моя боль
В темноте густой ночи
В свете ясного дня
Знаешь ты про боль
Эту боль, мою боль
Как хочу я стать сильнее
Но боли боюсь

Что чувствую я, не может никто знать
Эта боль, о-о

Так нелегко запомнить
Ещё труднее мне забыть
Смогу уйти я, если (cмогу уйти я если)
О-о, в душе моей лишь ты...

(Боль, эта боль, моя боль)
В темноте густой ночи
В свете ясного дня
Знаешь ты про боль
Эту боль, мою боль
Как хочу я стать сильнее
Но боли боюсь

Что чувствую я, не может никто знать
Эта боль, моя боль
Хочу я стать сильнее
О-о, эта боль


in russian (latin font)

Shto chustvuyu ya, ni mozhit nikto znat'

Stayu ya na virshini
Tvayo imya krichu
Atvieti ya ischu i
Na kavo svalit' vinu
Pust' bal zakonchin, no ti
Zastryal v mayey dushe, oh

Bol', eta bol', maya bol'
V timnate gustoy nachi
V svete yasnava dnya
Znaish ti pra bol
Etu bol', mayu bol'
Kak khachu ya stat' sil'neye
No boli bayus'

Shto chustvuyu ya, ni mozhit nikto znat'
Eta bol', maya bol'

Lubov' zabit' khachu ya
Tu bol', shto v glubine
Ridayu ya v padushku
No ni spryatat' sliozi mne
Zakonchitsya puskay vsyo
Zhizn' zanava nashnu, oh

Bol', eta bol', maya bol'
V timnate gustoy nachi
V svete yasnava dnya
Znaish ti pra bol
Etu bol', mayu bol'
Kak khachu ya stat' sil'nee
No boli bayus'

Shto chustvuyu ya, ni mozhit nikto znat'
Eta bol', oh

Tak nilihko zapomnit'
Ishyo trudnee mne zabit'
Smagu uyti ya, esli (smagu uyti ya, esli)
Oh, v dushe mayey lish ti...

(Bol', eta bol', maya bol')
V timnate gustoy nachi
V svete yasnava dnya
Znaish ti pra bol
Etu bol', mayu bol'
Kak khachu ya stat' sil'nee
No boli bayus'

Shto chustvuyu ya, ni mozhit nikto znat'
Eta bol', maya bol'
Khachu ya stat' sil'neye
Oh, eta bol'
