She would spend her summers touring with her parents and playing music on the streets of Europe, and winters living in Guatemala. Soluna started to play the guitar around the age of 12, when she also wrote her first songs. In 2001,Soluna Samay and her father formed a duo, Gee Gee & Soluna.

She eventually won the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2012 and represented Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, finishing 23rd in a field of 42 countries.
Come Again
Soluna Samay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not some unrequited love affair
This ain't about what is right or what is fair
It's much more than that
Word's in anger
Are sounds in this thin, thin air
Where there is love there is no fear
All is forgotten
On our hearts there are these phrases
And I don't care about the answers
Come back to me, walk or run, walk or run, walk or run
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the sin
Just come again, come again
You can always come on in
No matter what this door is open
Come again, come again
Hey hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay
Come again
Hey hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay
Words in anger
The reasons why we can't remember
Our pride turns us to strangers
Forgetting what we're made of, made of
I said "Hey!"
Don't let your doubts get between us
It doesn't matter what they tell us
Come back to me, walk or run, walk or run, walk or run___
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the sin
Just come again, come again
You can always come on in
No matter what this door is open
Come again, come again
Hey hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay
Come again
Hey hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay hey hey hey o ay
Spanish El mundo te espera con brazos abiertos (The world awaits you with open arms)
Levantate del suelo y sigue tus sueños (Get up from the floor and follow your dreams)
Y el viento te lleva a donde quieras (And the wind take you wherever you want it to)
Pero no me dejes...(But don't leave me)
Just come again, come again
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the sin
Just come again, come again
You can always come on in
No matter what this door is open
Come again, come again
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the sin
Just come again, come again
You can always come on in
No matter what this door is open
Come again, come again
