The songs we like - "While your lips are still red" by Nightwish

During one of our English lessons in lower secondary school Europejskie Gimnazjum we listened to this very beautiful song.
The song was written in 2007 by Tuomas Holopainen and Marco Hietala of the Finnish metal quintet Nightwish. It was performed by Holopainen, Hietala, and Jukka Nevalainen for the Finnish film Lieksa!, which was written and directed by renowned Finnish director Markku Pölönen; the film premiered in Finland in September 2007. The song is included on Nightwish's "Amaranth" single, which was released on 22 August 2007 as the second single of their sixth studio album, "Dark Passion Play". It was also released on their live / compilation EP "Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places)" in 2009.
The official music video of the song contains clips from the film Lieksa!, Hietala singing, and Holopainen walking behind him. The video was released on YouTube on 14 June 2007.

(The students' task was to translate the lyrics into Polish :-)

Just listen to it!

And the winners are...

Nikola Tomaszewska, Bartosz Mączyński and Mateusz Lickindorf took the first place in the competition. It was impossible to choose just one person :-)

Patrycja Małdrzykowska, Jagoda Paszkiewicz and Daniel Tsivinskas finished in the second place.

Congratulations! You're really great!

There's no Patrycja Małdrzykowska in the photos because she was somewhere in the school and she had something very important to do :-)

Ok, just look at your results - round after round there were fewer students in the battlefield!
