Stefan Filipović - Zauvijek Volim Te

Ponoć nad gradom kuca
Ja ne znam gdje si ti
Srce od ljubavi puca
U praznoj postelji!

Tuga mi pjesme piše
Dok suze padaju
Jastuk na tebe miriše
A dugo, dugo nisi tu!

Ne daj mi da poludim
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo moja budi
Zauvjek volim te!

Ne daj mi da poludim
Ne mogu više sam
Praštaju Bog i ljudi
Tebi ja pripadam!

Ponoć nad gradom kuca
Ja ne znam gdje si ti
Stojiš na ivici srca
A tako, tako trebaš mi!

Opet bi da te ljubim
Da korak pratim tvoj
Vrijeme ja uzalud gubim
Jer ti si život moj!

Ne daj mi da poludim
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo moja budi
Zauvjek volim te!

Ne daj mi da poludim
Ne mogu više sam
Praštaju Bog i ljudi
Tebi ja pripadam!
Tebi ja pripadam!

possibly an English version rather than a translation:

 

Like night pulsates around the city
I don’t know where you are
Heart is bursting with love
in empty bed
Sorrow is writing songs
while tears are falling
my pillow smells like you
and you are long gone

Don’t let me go crazy
Everything is so sad
Be mine again
I love you forever

Don’t let me go crazy
I can’t make it on my own anymore
God and people forgive
I belong to you

Like night pulsates around the city
I don’t know where you are
You’re standing on the edge of the heart
and I need you so much

I want to kiss you again
to follow your steps
I’m wasting time in vain
because you are, you are my life

Don’t let me go crazy
Everything is so sad
Be mine again
I love you forever

Don’t let me go crazy
I can’t make it on my own anymore
God and people forgive
I belong to you

Don’t let me go crazy
Everything is so sad
Be his again
I love you forever

Don’t let me go crazy
I can’t make it on my own anymore
God and people forgive
I belong to you
I belong to you

I think I have found the Montengren Rick Astley.... either that or he has found the Stock/Aitkin/Waterman song writing machine. personally I like the backing singers dance moves the best... OMG it is the blue light disco shuffle.

This is just a pretty average song all round. I dont think Montenegro will pass the semis this year either, or more-so they don't deserve to with this effort.

As for Retro, You cannot pass No Name, who entered for Serbia and Montenegro in 2005, and were also due to be their representative in 2006. oooo that was great controversy. in both 2005 and 2006 the Serbian judges voted 'fairly' but the Montenerin judges refused to give any of the Serbian acts any points. In 2005, Serbia just had a hissy fit and left it. In 2006, the Serbian act was slightly better than No Name, and only narrowly missed getting through because of the same voting process. this caused a riot in the stadium, and No Name could not get on stage to reprise their winning song, so the crowd was placated with the Serbian act who should have won playing. soon after the Serbian broadcaster refused to broadcast Eurovision, Thus breaching the terms of entry into the Eurovision and Serbia and Montenegro were forced to withdraw from Eurovision and soon after the event, Montenegro declared independence. Anyway the song that was not Withdrawn from Eurovision, No Name with 'Zauvijek Moja'
