Re: Robbed Songs in ESC National Finals - THE SHOW
Luka Nižetić & klapa Nostalgija - Proljeće (2005.)
So, back in 2005, as our NF was about to begin, rumors started that "this year we have a great song, sang by Luka N.". I actually heard it in some conversations, among "common" (a.k.a. not raging esc fans
) people. Anyways, Luka made it to the finals but he was stopped there (there was superfinale). Some media reporeted about irregular procedure in that NF, nothing was ever proved but u already get the picture about the entire show
We will never know how would this do in 2005 but "Proljeće" was huge hit in Croatia and still is remembered and mentioned as "our biggest esc mistake" (yes, even now). Btw, looks like it was our breaking point cause after that, we were just getting worse and worse.
So, enjoy the song (dalmatian folk influence, yes) and the video (taken in Split)
I couldn't find official translation but I found one in some forum, looks decent enough so here it is:
Spring
Since I’ve met you
I’m not the same anymore
Everybody knows that already
And I also ask myself
What happened to me
With what kind of magic have you bewitched me
It’s spring
And I’m restless (literally - There's restlessness in me)
I’m so happy I could hug the universe
It’s spring
And the grass smells good
My heart says you’re the one
For me
For me
Dinners, perfumes, jewelry and lingerie;
Millions of presents
I’m not even counting the cash
And you just want to be my wife
so, darling, I could walk beside you like a shadow
