Ok the title might seem strange if you don't know what a mondegreen is.
A mondegreen is a sentance or just a word that you misunderstood in a song. If you look up some mondegreens you'll find out it is quit funny.
I remembered someone saying that he/she heard: Me budmo bed sheets. Well that is a Mondegreen.
Mondegreen wikipedia:
English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen
Russian: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%B9
If you misheard/misunderstood something in Ruslana her songs put first your version down in these type of letters and then underneath in these type of letters the original songtext.

 original topic! But it should have come earlier when we were trying to guess what the Baku concert lyrics wereBut I'll try to remember what "lyrics" I heard Now I only remember what I heard from Heaven Never Makes Us Fall.
my version= she's a widow, she's a fighter
original=she saw it all, she's a fighter

Well that is a Mondegreen.
I didn't know this term ... ah, "and laid him on the green".
I knew the classic example, the Jimmy Hendrix line "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" which was misheard uncount times as "... while I kiss this guy".
Added complexity: To understand words in english or your home language in the ukrainian song versions.

and, to be honest, even today I don't understand what she's singing in WD part 2=from 2.48 min=come on let's bring on the fire in the night of desire, 'cause I can read........feeeeehleeeeeeeeerrrrrr
the lyrics in the booklet say: I can read what's on your mind, but I DO NOT HEAR anything like what's on your mind...
but, yes, "It's making me wild"

Wild Dances pt. 2
I am your dream tonight
The one that you can't fight
The stars are clear abd bright
And I will dance for you all night
Tell me have you ever been to magic land
Tell me have you ever seen the magic dance
Go go go wild dancers!
[CHORUS]
Na na na na na na na
Go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go go go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go go
I know this all is new
It may look strange to you
Tonight each move is true
Whatever we will do
Tell me have you ever been to magic land
Tell me have you ever seen the magic dance
[CHORUS]
Na na na na na na na
Go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go go go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go go
Come one
Let's bring on the fire
In the night of desire
I can read what's on your mind
And it's making me wild
[CHORUS]
Na na na na na na na
Go wild
Na na na na na na na
Go go go wild dancers
Na na na na na na na
Go wild
Na na na na na na na
Go go go wild dancers!

??Where did you get that from?? I didn't know the term Mondegreen either untill I watched a dutch television programme: " onder de tram" (Under the tram:P) something like that can't remember the right name. They read the things people heard out loud and the guests had to guess which song it was and what the proper sentence was haha.

Yes I know thought about that in the car this morning actually. I've put the songs on a tape so I can listen to it in the car.
I got another silly one:
Moon of Dreams:
Like a hundred birds in the LONELY sky
Like a wounded bird in the lonely sky
If there were a hundred birds in the sky, it wouldn't be lonely anymore.

Okay.........now what I had been hearing for a loooooooong time in WD song UA version
The original lyrics:
Νΰ ρξνφ³ σ πΰνφ³
Ηΰοΰλώ δθκ³ ςΰνφ³
I heard: Marsontsi, Urantsi........and it is very similar in BG to the words we use for creatures who live on Mars or Uranus.....Marsiantsi, Urantsi......so I thought Ruslana was singing about..........aliens

OMG
Marsiantsi
Marťani? (one of expressions for aliens in CZ) ... so Marťani tanci? Of course when it is Ruslana.
Ηΰοΰλώ
Wow this has also reminded me something! It sounds "zapalju" and in CZ zapálim means I'll set something on fire. But Ruslana is not an arsonist, ya?
