passionpopThis is one of the more controversial songs in theis years Eurovision,
mainly because there was favouritism with the Montenegrin Judges
towards the Montenegrin act and the Serbians didn't get a look in. so
to represent Serbia and Montenegro we have No Name - "Zauvijek Moja"
(unrelated song of the evening) Collateral Damage byt he members of the White rabbit cult...
The interesting thing about the Serbian and Montenegrin Entry for Eurovision is the title, the literal translation should be "forever mine" but it has instead been translated to "I will reach out for you", but then I should not be surprised, the Native lyrics and the english lyrics seem to have little in common... oh but the bit about the old stone house is sorta there... just in the second verse in the native version not the first like in the English...
Bad translations are common in Eurovision. it never hinders an act and this song isn't to bad. doubt it will win, but it isn't too bad, not bad for a bad with out a name anyway... No Name - "Zauvijek Moja"
"ZAUVIJEK MOJA"
Tamo, ljubavi, gdje zvone zvona
ti ces zauv'jek bit' samo moja,
tamo gdje i r'jeka ljubi more
do zore
Zauvjek
Tamo visoko za brda ona,
tamo gdje je stara kuca moja,
tamo cu sa tobom, zeljo moja
ostati
Zauvjek
Ti si mi dusu ranila,
ljepotom me opila.

"I Will Reach out for You"
I'll reach out for you
across the Rocky Mountains,
take you to my old stone house
and the sound of bells
will rise above us
and will meet the sky.
They'll never die.
And the sun will shed its golden fire,
and the sea will become an endless pyre,
and the mighty voice of angels' choir
will be blessing you and me,
Eternally.
As the time will pass
I will love you more -
the one I'll be living for.

Belgrade
has been bombed. All sorts of cities. Bridges have been bombed that have no
military value.
Fifty
thousand people in one section of Novi Sad are now without water.
NATO is
not waging a war against Yugoslavia
