Vrouwenpower namens Tsjechië! Meidengroep Vesna gaat naar het Eurovisie Songfestival in Liverpool. Als dertiende treden ze op in de eerste halve finale op donderdag 9 mei.
Vesna is met 'My Sister's Crown' door naar de finale van het Eurovisie Songfestival
’My Sister's Crown’ is een inspirerend nummer dat de kracht van vrouwen (en mannen!) viert. Het nummer gaat over hoe belangrijk het is om voor jezelf op te komen.
Ze zingen ook over thema's als ongelijkheid en geweld tegen vrouwen. Vesna moedigt mannen en vrouwen aan om elkaar te steunen, waarbij je liefde boven macht moet verkiezen. In het lied komen vier talen voor: Engels, Tsjechisch, Oekraïens en Bulgaars.

De meiden ontmoeten elkaar op het conservatorium in Praag. Eerder had de band een andere samenstelling, maar sinds 2018 zijn ze samen in de huidige samenstelling:
Patricie Fuxová (frontzangeres), Bára Šůstková (zangeres/violiste), Olesya Ochepovská (toetseniste), Markéta Vedralová (drummer), Tereza Čepková (basgitarist) en Tanita Yankovová (zangeres).
De naam Vesna komt uit de slavische mythologie. Vesna is de godin van lente, liefde en harmonie.

My sister won't stand in the corner
Nor will she listen to you
My sister, wild at heart
Will never let you tie her down
My sister won't stand in the corner
Nor will she listen to you
My sister's crown
Don't take it down
Don't take it down
Nobody has right to do it
She's beautiful
And capable
She is her own queen
And she will prove it
You can take your hands back
No one wants more boys dead
We're not your dolls
We're not your dolls
Life's not a moneybag
Blood's on your God's head
You can't steal our souls
You can't steal our souls
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My sister's crown, don't take it down
Give me your hand don't be afraid
Come swim with your sisters
There's no place for hate in our sea
God forbid
Don't be sad
Hop trop, these girls ain't here for you nonstop
Remember we're sisters till the end!
You can take your hands back
No one wants more boys dead
We're not your dolls
We're not your dolls
Life's not a moneybag
Blood's on your God's head
You can't steal our souls
You can't steal our souls
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My sister's crown, don't take it down
My sister's crown, don't take it down
All the sisters of the world
Come together with a prayer
Choose love over power
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong (My sister's crown, don't take it down)
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong (My sister's crown, don't take it down)
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong (My sister's crown, don't take it down)
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
My beautiful sister, you are so strong (My sister's crown, don't take it down)
Brave and the only one, the crown is yours
We're with you in our hearts
We stand for you
