Ruslan Alehno has been chosen to represent Belarus at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. He will sing Hasta La Vista in Belgrade.
Ruslan Alehno was born in 1981 in the Belarussian town of Bobruisk. His musical abilities were revealed in early childhood, when he started to take bayan classes. However it was not enough for the young talent, and on leaving musical school Ruslan could already play the guitar, tube, piano and drums.
When he was 16, Ruslan wrote his first musical composition. The role of the only spectator and critic as well was given to his mother. At that time Ruslan couldn't even imagine that the real life story, which had evoked the content of his first composition, would appear again someday in his future hit Hasta la vista.
In his motherland, Belarus, Ruslan Alehno has already improved his image as successful singer. This was confirmed by the huge number of his victories at different vocal competitions, song contests and festivals. In 2001Ruslan was the winner of Belarussian TV project Hit-Moment , in 2003 he was the winner in Clear Voice nomination Crossroads of Europe festival in Belarus and also laureate of Molodechno-2003 vocal contest in Belarus.
The international festival Malvy 2004 in Poland brought to Ruslan one more new victory. But the most important achievement in the musical career of Ruslan Alehno was his victory in Russian TV-project People's Artist-2 (Russian version of Pop-Idol). It gave him the possibility to access the wide audience of pop music fans, for them to discover a new performer and also a sensual, open-hearted, sincere hero, whose songs and voice had conquered lot's of women hearts.
In 2005, Ruslan released his first album Sooner or Later. In 2008 Ruslan Alehno became the winner of National Television Musical project EuroFest, what gave him the opportunity to represent Republic of Belarus at the most popular and prestigious musical international contest in Europe Eurovision Song Contest 2008. "Take part to win!" said the Head of Eurofest, People's artist of Belarus Aleksandr Tihanovich.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've just never seen such a light so far
All my days, like fairy tales
I begged you to look in my loving eyes
But you were as cold as arctic ice
And your laugh has killed my love
It won't be the end, but a running start
So don't be upset, please don't ask me why
I say goodbye
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
You can be really happy
Though it's not fair
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
Hasta la vista, blame me
But I don't care
No way to repair the broken glass
There's nothing to share nor to discuss
Now I see, you're not for me
(You're not for me)
You've cast me away to a desert shore
You've shattered my heart, now you keep the score
Have a rest, you've done your best
The story is close to the final cut
It won't be the end, but a running start
So don't you pretend you can't get it why
I say goodbye
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
You can be really happy
Though it's not fair
Hasta la vista, baby
I'm gonna miss you, maybe
Hasta la vista, blame me
But I don't care
Hasta la vista
Hasta la vista
In Ruslan Alehno's song "Hasta La Vista," the singer describes a love that was once promised to be a fairy tale but ended up as a broken promise. He sings about how he was enamored by the light his love emitted, but as time passed, his love was met with rejection and unrequited affection. The singer begs for his love to just look in his eyes, but it was evident that his love had grown cold and uninterested. The relationship had come to an end, and the singer must wave goodbye, promising to miss her but also not caring about her anymore.
The song's lyrics speak about a romantic relationship that has come to an end. The mood of the song is melancholic, but there is a certain acceptance of the situation presented. The lyrics are quite poetic, and the imagery of shining like a blinding star is quite vivid. The use of repetition of the phrase "hasta la vista" adds a layer of finality to the song and drives home the idea of saying goodbye.

Hasta la vista (Руслан Алехно, перевод-кавер)
Столь яркой звезды в мире больше нет
Слепой мотылёк – я летел на свет
Думал, жизнь
Сплошной сюрприз.
С надеждой я ждал: ты поверишь в нас
Заметишь любовь в блеске наших глаз
Но твой смех
Убил тот блеск.
История наша идёт к концу
Но как я на старт вновь попасть смогу
Ты с грустью вопрос мне не задавай
Скажу: «Прощай!»
Что ж, до свиданья, детка
Буду скучать, но редко
Счастья желаю, детка
Пусть больно мне.
Что ж, до свиданья, детка
Буду скучать, но редко
Хоть презирай, но верь мне
Не лгал тебе.
Нет клея, чтоб сердце соединить
Не знаю, смогу ли тебя простить
Вижу я
Ты не моя.
Ты сделала всё – как в пустыне я
Гордишься собой, в счёте повела
Отдыхай
Но только знай.
История наша идёт к концу
Я верю, сначала начать смогу
А ты притворяйся и отрицай
Прощай, прощай!
Что ж, до свиданья, детка
Буду скучать, но редко
Счастья желаю, детка
Пусть больно мне.
Что ж, до свиданья, детка
Буду скучать, но редко
Хоть презирай, но верь мне
Не лгал тебе.

вы открыли его с 2004 года . а я первый раз фамилию его услышала и его песни в 2024году. 20лет спустя .. Здесь он мне напоминает молодого Диму Билана. голоса разные , но общее что-то есть.

"Hasta la vista" reminds me of a James Bond 007 soundtrack. Congratulations, Ruslan, on this song and your magnificent Eurovision live performance as well.
