Placing: 12th (37 points)
Other versions: Russian
“Lady Alpine Blue“ was the Russian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It was performed by the rock group Mumiy Troll. The lead singer, Ilia Lagutenko, who had also written the song, appeared dressed casually in a navy blue shirt and white trousers. The song’s lyrics were rather unusual, but obviously a love song dedicated to the mysterious “Lady Alpine Blue“, who appeared to be a newcomer in the singers’ neighbourhood. The singer is leaving her, but tells her to “keep on smiling“.
It performed sixth on the night, following Israel’s Tal Sondak with “En Davar“ and preceding Sweden’s Friends with “Listen To Your Heartbeat“. At the close of the voting had received 37 points, placing 12th in a field of 23.
During voting, the Latvian announcer Renārs Kaupers of Brainstorm who was Latvian entry the previous year, greeted Mumiy Troll with “Viva la rockapops!“ exclamation. “Rockapops“ is a term coined by Mumiy Troll frontman Ilia Lagutenko to describe the style of the music performed by himself and his peers. Brainstorm are known to be good friends with Mumiy Troll.
The group has participated in various international festivals and music conferences, including SXSW, Culture Collide, Zandari Festa, Mu:Con, Sound City, and Visual Japan Summit. In 2013, they founded their own showcase festival “Vladivostok Rocks“ (V-ROX). The festival was dubbed “a small Pacific Woodstock“ by Russia Beyond The Headlines. V-ROX was held annually from 2013 to 2019. The 2020 edition of the festival was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mumiy Troll was the first to support the activities of PSI organization fighting AIDS in Russia and performed at the No Name Fever exhibition for AIDS in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2005. They are also well known for conservation activities on wild life in Far-East taiga and helping local minorities to survive. Ilya Lagutenko is a patron of the British-Russian Amur fund for the protection of Amur tigers and leopards.
Lyrics:
Lady Alpine Blue
To love newcomers’ fashion
Oh so special
You may want to believe me
But hey – your Alpine eyes of blue
Here’s my Siberian hymn for you
We better stay or rather die
La lalalai lai lala lai lai...
Rather die
La lalalai la lalalai...
No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin’, my Lady Alpine Blue
Blue
The slipping serpentine night
Would cuddle, keep us tender
And smother warning signs
My old mistakes should send her
Eternity for us to try
The dawn will tell us if we fly
La lalalai lai lala lai lai...
If we fly
La lalalai la lalalai...
No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin’, my Lady Alpine Blue
No promises, no promises
No promises, no promises
No promises, no kiss goodbye to you
Just keep on smilin’, my Lady Alpine Blue
