On the 25th of January 2003 the public decided for the first time who would represent Poland at the Eurovision Festival. Even before that evening everybody expected who would win - Ich Troje, the band that has sold over 1.5 million records since June 2001. During the contest they performed the song “No borders” that the leader of the group, Michal Wisniewski, defines as “the song of unifying Europe”. That’s why it was performed in three languages: Polish, German and Russian – the languages of nations that fought against each other for many years.
The group Ich Troje was conceived in 1997 by Michal Wisniewski (songwriter) and Jacek Lagwa (composer). Michal Wisniewski, the charismatic red-haired singer, has been the most popular person in the Polish show business for over two years now.
In the last two years Ich Troje have given over 300 concerts. Their fans come from different backgrounds: from amused children to pensioners in tears. Their concerts are great shows that combine the power of pop music with the verve of a musical. They talk about love, betrayal, break-ups in a dramatic atmosphere. Now they hope that people from other countries will also enjoy their songs because, as Michal sings, there shouldn’t be any borders between people and it’s time to put that idea into practice!

 LYRICS |
|
I wish I were an astronaut
I could watch the Earth from above
Everyone who has been there at least once
Says
It’s wonderful
There is peace and bliss and happiness
Everything that is there
Hardly exists any more
One sees with innocent child’s eyes
How we, people
Are small on Earth
Chorus:
No borders
No flags
From there, from above
The world seems so beautiful
No countries
No nations
No wars
Can be seen from above
Everyone should go there at least once
To realise
This struggle doesn’t make sense
He may forget about his stupid megalomania
And instead of talking
Will start to live again.
Chorus:
No borders
No flags
From there, from above
The world seems so beautiful
No countries
No nations
No wars
Can be seen from above
No borders,
No borders,
a world without flags
a world without flags
From above one sees no borders
No borders
No borders,
No quarrels, no explosions, no war
From there, from above
The world is just beautiful
