      The biography: Jonatan Cerrada Moreno is from Spanish origin but born in Liege (Wallonia-Belgium) on 12 September 1985. Jonatan lives in Ans, close to Liege.
      At the age of 8 Jonatan starts singing in a choir and sometimes he even sings solo the Royal Opera of Wallonia in Liege. Bit by bit, he turns to variety and jazz and he starts to attract attention at the many contests he participates at. Jonatan sings covers as well as songs that his mother wrote for him.
      In 1997, Jonatan makes his first television appearance at "Pour la Gloire" on Wallonia's first channel. Jonatan reaches the semi final of this contest in which he participates in the junior category for youngsters aged 11-16. In 2000, Jonatan participates once again at "Pour la Gloire" and reaches the third final round this time.
      On 23rd February 2003, Jonatan participates at the castings of "A la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star", the French version of Idols, broadcasted by M6. Jonatan makes it to the 10 finalists who can present themselves to the audience during several weeks. The Belgian defeats all French on their own territory and becomes the French Idol, resulting in a contract with BMG.
      His first single "Je voulais te dire que je t'attends" is an enormous success and the full album "Siempre 23" follows. With "Rien ne me changera", the next single taken from this album, Jonatan keeps attacking the charts. Something that doesn't stay unnoticed as France 3 asked Jonatan to represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest.
      All his knowledge: singing, dancing, piano, guitar, writing and compose songs, linguistic skills (jonatan speaks spanish, french, english and italian),... make Jonatan Cerrada a very promissing artist, aged only 17.

original french lyrics

Il y a des blessures
Qu'on devra oublier
Tellement de ratures
Qu'il faudra effacer

Souffler très fort pour que s'envole
De nos cœurs la rancune
Et puis faire tomber
Les barrières une à une

À chaque pas que l'on fera
À chaque geste qu'on offrira
Ce sera le début d'un autre demain
Dans chaque mot que l'on dira
Dans ce futur qu'on construira
C'est l'amour que dessineront nos mains

Il y a des injures
Qu'il faudra pardonner
Des cris contre des murs
Qui les feront tomber

Déposons les armes à nos pieds
Délaissons nos armures
Pour que nos conflits
Ne soient plus que murmure

À chaque pas que l'on fera
À chaque geste qu'on offrira
Ce sera le début d'un autre demain
Dans chaque mot que l'on dira
Dans ce futur qu'on construira
C'est l'amour que dessineront nos mains

La bataille sera longue
Mais tu sais elle en vaut la peine
L'enfant en nous trouvera le chemin

Il y a des fêlures
Qui resteront brisées
Des coups un peu durs
À jamais marqués

À chaque pas que l'on fera
À chaque geste qu'on offrira
Ce sera le début d'un autre demain
Dans chaque mot que l'on dira
Dans ce futur qu'on construira
C'est l'amour que dessineront nos mains

C'est l'amour que dessineront nos mains


english translation

There are wounds
That we'll have to forget
So many erasures
That we'll have to wipe out

Blowing very hard so that
The rancour flies away from our hearts
And then let
The barriers fall one by one

With every step that we will take
With every gesture that we'll offer
It will be the beginning of another tomorrow
In every word that we'll say
In this future that we will build
It's love that our hands will draw

There are insults
That we'll have to forgive
Cries against walls
That will make them fall

Let's lay down the weapons at our feet
Let's abandon our armours
So that our conflicts
Will only be a whisper

With every step that we will take
With every gesture that we'll offer
It will be the beginning of another tomorrow
In every word that we'll say
In this future that we will build
It's love that our hands will draw

The battle will be long
But you know it's worthwhile
The children in us will find the way

There are cracks
That will remain broken
Slightly hard punches
Marked for eternity

With every step that we will take
With every gesture that we'll offer
It will be the beginning of another tomorrow
In every word that we'll say
In this future that we will build
It's love that our hands will draw

It's love that our hands will draw


lyrics in russian (cyrillic font)

Мы те ошибки
Должны забыть скорей
И все обиды
Из памяти стереть

Из сердца сильные ветра
Печали унесут
Исчезнет злоба
Преграды все уйдут

И с каждым шагом мы сильней
И каждый жест души твоей
Подарит людям ласковый день
Слова любви в глазах прочту
Тебе о чувствах расскажу
И новый мир рукою начерчу

И мы друг друга
Попробуем простить
Разрушить стену
Горечи и лжи

И нашу глупую войну
Должны мы прекратить
Решить проблемы
Оружие сложить

И с каждым шагом мы сильней
И каждый жест души твоей
Подарит людям ласковый день
Слова любви в глазах прочту
Тебе о чувствах расскажу
И новый мир рукою начерчу

Решенье трудное
Но стоит нам его найти
Чтобы успеть свободу обрести

Но шрам на сердце
Останется со мной
И даже вечность
Его не заберёт

И с каждым шагом мы сильней
И каждый жест души твоей
Подарит людям ласковый день
Слова любви в глазах прочту
Тебе о чувствах расскажу
И новый мир рукою начерчу

Наш новый мир рукою начерчу


lyrics in russian (translit)

Mi te ashipki
Dalzhni zabit' skarej
I vse abidi
Is pamyati stiret'

Is sertsa silnie vitra
Pichali unisiut
Ischeznet zloba
Prigradi vsie udiut

I s kazhdim shagam mi silnej
I kazhdij zhest dushi tvajej
Padarit ljudam laskavij dien'
Slava liubvi v glazah prachtu
Tibie a shustvah raskazhu
I novij mir rukoju nachirchu

I mi druk druga
Paprobuem prastit'
Razriushit' steny
Gorichi i lzhi

I nazhu glupuju vajnu
Dalzhni mi prikratit'
Rishit' prabliemi
Aruzhie slazhit'

I s kazhdim shagam mi silnej
I kazhdij zhest dushi tvajej
Padarit ljudam laskavij dien'
Slava liubvi v glazah prachtu
Tibie a shustvah raskazhu
I novij mir rukoju nachirchu

Rishen'je trudnoje
No stoit nam evo najti
Shtobi uspiet' svabodu abristi

No shram ni sertse
Astanitsya sa mnoj
I dazhe viechnost'
Evo ni zabiriot

I s kazhdim shagam mi silnej
I kazhdij zhest dushi tvajej
Padarit ljudam laskavij dien'
Slava liubvi v glazah prachtu
Tibie a shustvah raskazhu
I novij mir rukoju nachirchu

Nash novij mir rukoju nachirchu
