The Bourne Legacy Official Trailer

It’s official. Wild Car Chases, #itsmorefuninthephilippines. The latest Bourne Legacy trailer which was just released a few hours ago shows Jeremy Renner running all over Manila! In the video you’ll see out of control jeepneys (which is actually the everyday norm lol), a PNP officer getting stomped M. Bison Style, and those annoying “hagad” motorcycles getting blown to bits.

Here’s the trailer:

The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.

Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Grand Final

Performer: Željko Joksimović
Song title: Nije Ljubav Stvar
Song writer(s): Marina Tucaković / Miloš Roganović
Song composer(s): Željko Joksimović
Lyrics: Original, French


Better luck next time,
You say that so easily.
I can see we're over now,
But it could have been so good.
Know that even if you leave,
Something yours will stay.

Love is not a thing,
That I can just give back to you.
This is only me,
I've only ever loved you

Love is not a thing,
That I don't know what do to with,
I wish you just the best,
This love is my sinking ship.

Your love is not a thing,
That I can just give back to you.
This is only me,
I've only ever loved you.

My love is not a thing,
That I don't know what to do with,
I wish you just the best,
This is my sinking ship.

Go,just, just go,
Fly away, sing,
Give your heart to someone else,
But know
That goodbye is not the end.


My love is not a thing,
That I don't know what to do with,
I wish you just the best,
This is my sinking ship.

"Lăutar" is a song by singer Pasha Parfeny. It will represent Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.


Original Lyrics
Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Grand Final
Performer: Pasha Parfeny
Song title: Lăutar
Song writer(s): Pasha Parfeny
Song composer(s): Pasha Parfeny, Alex Brashovean

At the wedding tonight she looks nicer than the bride.
When she smiles, I forget my lyrics.
I got blind, I got mad, not from the diamonds she had
But from the beauty that puts my heart on fire

You have never been at my show
You haven’t seen before how looks the trumpet
But the sound goes straight to your soul
Gets you out of control
This trumpet makes you my girl

Just like from paradise, you came down from the skies
On a plane which belongs to your daddy
Welcome to carousel. The wine is sweet, but take care,
cause too much is no good for a princess.

You have never been at my show
You haven’t seen before how looks the trumpet
But the sound goes straight to your soul
Gets you out of control
This trumpet makes you my girl

Why,
Why can't this moment last forever more
Tonight,
Tonight eternity's an open door
No
Don't ever stop doing the things you do
Don't go
In every breath I take I'm breathing you

A beating love within my heart
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Where everything's aloud and love comes first
Forever and ever together
We sail into infinity
We're higher and higher and higher
We're reaching for divinity
