I MORAM TI REĆ DA IZMEĐU OVE
I MILION DRUGIH PJESAMA
NE POSTOJI RAZLIKA
Jer život taj za nama briše tragove
U dobru noć on pušta čudne vragove
Pa svaki san je hladnim suncem obasjan
A sjećanja su skoro sva ugasnula
Da pitaš me još samo jedno znao bih
Da boje sve tek s ovom rimom postoje
A noć i dan su nekog stiha trag
I nestat će kad naše pjesme izbljede
Zasvirajte noćas tu romansu
Tiho nježno da me razboli
Tugu kad umire slavuj
Kad se duša s tijelom razdvoji
Zasvirajte noćas tu romansu
Al polako da je čuju svi
Neka opet sviraju gitare
Već odavno nisam slušo njih
GOVORE MI DANAS
DA SAM U BANANI
TEHNOLOŠKI OTPAD
KO MAJMUN NA GRANI
A JA SAM BIO PRVI
INTERNET NA SVIJETU
NA BRODOVIMA S GLAZBOM
UMREŽIO PLANETU
Pamtim i sad sve snove svojih pjesama
Sva maštanja i lica što su nestala
Ko sjene su još dio mojih buđenja
Zarobljena u mene davno utkana
You see my friend, I remember everything
and I can tell you that
between this and million of other songs
there is no difference
Because the life, erases traces behind us
in a good night, it releases strange devils
so every dream is illuminated with cold sun
and almost all memories have faded
if you ask me
I’d know only one thing
that all colours
only with this rhyme exist
and night and day
are a verse’s trace
and they will disappear when our songs fade away
Play the romance tonight
quietly, gently, to make the sorrow ache
when the nightingale dies
when the soul separates from the body
Play the romance tonight
but slowly so that everyone can hear it
may the guitars play again
I haven’t listened to them in a long time
They’re telling me tonight that I’m in banana*
techological waste like a monkey on a branch
and I was the first internet in the world
on ships with music
netted the planet
Even today I remember all the dreams of my songs
all fantasies
and faces that disappeared
they are like shadows
still a part of my awakenings
trapped, inwrought in me long ago
Play the romance tonight
quietly, gently, to make the sorrow ache
when nightingale dies
when the soul separates from the body
Play the romance tonight
but slowly so that everyone can hear it
may the guitars play again
I haven’t listened to them in a long time
They’re telling me tonight that I’m in banana
techological waste like a monkey on a branch
and I was the first internet in the world
on ships with music
connected the planet
I, I, I, I, I was the first
internet in the world
internet in the world
I connected the planet
first internet in the world
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!!!! ok the Tango is apt... but the rest, I still don't get. I mean seriously, Croatia always sends such crap to Eurovision, and this year, they failed to disappoint in that regard... which is disappointing in itself.
At best, this song can get all the granny votes, and may do well with them, I mean Denmark won with the 'grey vote', but this wouldnt deserve it (Denmark didn't either though... I mean the Olsen Brothers... Olsen... Seriously. This cant be the European song for summer though because if it is, it is gong to be a bloody awful summer.
As for retro... look at these fashions. Riva with 'Rock me' from 1989. a group from Zagreb representing Yugoslavia.
