Ukraine: Olexandr Ponomaryov - Hasta la vista

Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2003 [2003]

Don't try to deny

I can see in your eyes

All the love you'd like to hide away



So don't cry, say goodbye

And go on with your lies

I know you are mine, you'll come back some day



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so...



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so wrong



Can't you see the signs?

I'm yours, you are mine

You are sayin' goodbye to all your lies

Just cry and you lie

To the walls of your heart

Your tears in your eyes

Are as bright as lights



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so...



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so wrong



You say goodbye

You'd like to fly up to the sky

But I don't know

Should tell me why

You always cry

Just tell me why



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so...



Hasta la vista, baby

Baby, so long

Hasta la vista, baby

Oh girl, you are so wrong

Hasta la vista

Olexandr Ponomaryov's "Hasta la vista" served as the Ukrainian song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003. The track blends pop and rock elements with a distinctively Ukrainian folk influence, characterized by its rhythmic guitar work and vocal delivery. While the song did not advance beyond the semi-final stage, it remains a notable example of Ponomaryov's discography and the musical landscape of Ukraine during that era. The recording reflects the genre's tendency to incorporate traditional melodies within a modern pop framework, typical of many submissions from that period of the competition.
