Lyrics in english:

SEE MY FRIEND, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT BETWEEN THIS SONG
AND A MILLION OTHERS
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE

Life erases our tracks
It lets weird devils into that good night
Every day is bathed in cold sun
And memories are almost faded out

If you asked me I would only know one thing
Colours exist only in this rhyme
Night and day are the remains of some line
They will disappear when our songs fade

Play tonight that romance
Quietly to make me fall ill
The sadness when a nightingale dies
When the soul with the body divorces

Play tonight that romance
Slowly so that everyone hears
Let the guitars play again
'Cos I haven't heard them for a long time

THEY TELL ME TODAY
THAT I'M IN THE DUMPS
I'M TECHNOLOGY WASTE
LIKE THE MONKEY UP ON A BRANCH
BUT I WAS THE FIRST THE INTERNET
IN THE WORLD
SAILING ON SHIPS WITH MY MUSIC
I CONNECTED THE PLANET

I still remember all the dreams of my songs
All the fantasies and faces gone by
They are still like the shadows of my awakenings
Trapped and woven inside me a long time ago

"Zauvijek volim te" - Lyrics

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!

Ne daj mu da poludi
Tako je tužno sve
Ponovo njegova budi
Zauvjek volim te!

Slovenia's entry to the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest



Rebeka Dremelj, a singer and Miss Slovenia 2001, is a true Slovene phenomenon. She is the only person who will have been representing Slovenia in two different fields. It was on the Miss World Talent Show in 2001 where she landed the outstanding second place and thus signed a contract with Sony Records London. The second time, she will be representing Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. She had over 150 performances in the last year and is used performing; the Slovene public is therefore not in doubt about her charisma on the biggest European stage. She is considered a dynamic and energetic singer, who owns her own underwear label called Rebeka's Dream.

Vrag naj vzame - Lyrics

Sama na tleh, zadnja solza zate v očeh,
brišem sledi ki jih pustil je poraz,
ti brez besed, v trenutku si zrušil moj svet,
zdaj zbiram vse sence ljubezni da vržem ti jih v obraz.

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama
tvoje slike mečem zdaj na tla
vrag naj vzame zdaj naprej grem sama
trgam vse spomine da se čimprej konča.

Ne dovolim da še kdaj me pogledaš v oči
zdaj več v meni ničesar zate ni
tujec si mi, ki na ulici ga ne spoznam
ko vidim te grem mimo tebe, glavo obrnem v drugo stran.

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama
tvoje slike mečem zdaj na tla,
vrag naj vzame zdaj naprej grem sama,
trgam vse spomine da se čimprej konča.

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama,
zate solze vem da so zaman,
zdaj med nama je samo še drama,
ki ne bo vrnila ukradenih mi sanj.

Zlomil si me priznam,
a grem naprej,
sama v vsak nov dan,
močnejša sem kot prej!

Pokusaj (Try) Lyrics

Ne silazi sa čardaka rek'o mi je pjevač Laka
Ne klepeći nanulama nemoj da se praviš dama
Ne silazi sa čardaka rek'o mi je lično Laka
Ne silazi sa čardaka dok ti ljubav nije jaka

Na moju omiljenu foru
Prevarim faunu i floru
Da život nije postao u moru
Nego od ljubavi

Kolike protraćismo dane
Ležeći jedući banane
Pa spadosmo na niske grane
Bez ljubavi

Pokušaću da te poljubim a ti se pravi luda
Pokušaću da te poljubim a ti se pravi luda
Pokušaću da te probudim a ti se pravi budna

Ne silazi sa čardaka rek'o mi je pjevač Laka
Ne klepeći nanulama nemoj da se praviš dama
Ne silazi sa čardaka rek'o mi je lično Laka
Ne silazi sa čardaka dok ti ljubav nije jaka

Pokušaću da te poljubim a ti se pravi luda
Pokušaću da te poljubim a ti se pravi luda
Pokušaću da te probudim a ti se pravi budna

KALOMOIRA - MY SECRET COMBINATION

Can you see it?
Can you see it?
You have to discover me
What goes wrong when I am crying
Or what I want when I’m smiling

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
That I’m not a little girl
You’re misunderstanding my way
And all the roles that I like to play

My secret combination
It’s a mystery for you
Use your imagination
I’m not easy but I’m true
My secret combination
Boy you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart!

An open book,
An open book
Well, I’m sorry, I am not
Sometimes I’m acting like a lady
Sometimes woman, sometimes baby

This is their promotional music video!



Tamara, Vrčak & Adrian won the ticket for FYR Macedonia to the Eurovision Song Contest during the 2008 Skopje Festival. They will perform in English in Belgrade with the song Let Me Love You. Tamara, Vrcak, and Adrijan are young, talented, and very popular performers in Macedonia.

Skopje Music Academy senior student Tamara born in Skopje, 1 June 1985 is definitely one of Macedonia's best female singers. She started her music career in 2001 with a huge hit written by Robert Bilbilov, Dali znam (Do I know?), which she performed at the Suncane Skale Festival in Montenegro the next year. In 2003 she continued to participate in festivals.

The song 1003, performed at the Budva festival in Montenegro, topped the charts. She also performed with her mother Branka, an opera singer, at Ohrid Fest in Macedonia, winning the third prize. Tamara participated three times in Makfest in Stip, Macedonia. In 2004 with Nemirna (Restless), in 2006 Sedmo Nebo (Seventh Heaven) with Vrcak won her the first prize, and in 2007 she had a memorable performance of the ballad Smesno, zar ne? (Funny, isn't it?). The audience in Serbia remembers very well her song Sex with the Belgrade group 187, which was very popular in 2004. The next year, the album Sino (Blue), produced and composed by Aleksandar Masevski, was released, earning an album of the year award.

In 2006, Tamara and Vrcak were a big success with the song Losa devojka(Bad Girl), performed at the Budva Fest.

Tamara has already felt the challenge of the Eurovision Song Contest singing as a backing vocalist for the late Tose Proeski in 2004, and in 2007 she came second at the Macedonian national final.

Rade Vrcakovski-Vrcak was born in Skopje on 17th November 1980. He is a well known composer, songwriter, and performer, whose two albums Kako da pobegnam od se (If I could run away) and Vo tvoeto srce (In your heart), earned him numerous awards for best song, album, songwriter, discovery of the year, most played song.

Although a senior medical student, he has chosen a career in music. Vrcak performed at Makfest three times: in 2001 with Andrijana Janevska he won the second prize, in 2004 with Robert Bilbilov he won the third prize, and finally his duet with Tamara earned him first place.

Vrcak's latest album was released in 2007 and was a huge success, as it was one of the best selling albums in the country. Singles from the album received heavy airplay, as well as making several appearances on MTV Adria. Vrcak was a UNICEF ambassador of goodwill and he was given a Mother Teresa humanitarian award.

Vrcak is also known as the author of the lyrics for the song Ninanajna, which was the Macedonian entry for the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. It was actually his idea to write a song for his good friends Tamara and Adrijan and himself! And this is Let Me Love You, the song that won the Skopje Festival 2008, the FYR Macedonian national final!

Tamara, Vrcak, and Adrijan foster different music styles, but the three of them together are a real blast on stage! An outburst of energy, enthusiasm, and great music!

Adrijan was born in Skopje on 13th February 1984. He is a Music High School graduate (viola) currently studying English.

He entered the showbiz world singing at Nota Fest in 2001 and won the first prize, which was the first time for a newcomer to win the majority of votes of the jury and the audience. Adrijan has since become a household name both in FYR Macedonia and Albania, having released four albums, three in Albanian and one in Macedonian.

He is well known for his attractive stage performances thanks to his dancing and choreography skills. Adrijan won the first prize at Videofest, a best male performer award at Topfest, twice won a best video award at the Video Festival in Tirana, best stage performance at Makfest, first prize at Ohrid Fest. In 2006 his duet with the famous Esma Redzepova won the second place at the Macedonian Eurovision Song Contest final. Adrijan is constantly on tour, not only in FYR Macedonia and Albania, but also in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Italy and Switzerland.

"Let me love you" - Lyrics

Let's go, let's go, let's go
What'cha gonna do if I let you know
You're the only one I've been dreaming of
I've never felt love like this before

Let's go, let's go, let's go
Where the moon is full and the lights are low
We can do it so slow, kiss in slow-mo
Until dawn breaks, then I ride out solo

You always knew how to make me cry
I feel so helpless without you
I'm starting to lose my mind
I wanna be with you tonight

The stars above glow like they're making love
I'm running under the moonlight
Alone in this sleepless night
Just to be right by your side

Let me love you
Let me love you
Unfold your angel wings
Fly out from my wildest dreams
Let me love you
Let me love you
Kiss me and let me die
Before you say goodbye

Let's go, let's go, let's go
What'cha gonna do if I let you know
You're the only one I've been dreaming of
I've never felt love like this before
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Where the moon is full and the lights are low
We can do it so slow, kiss in slow-mo
Until dawn breaks, then I ride out solo.

You always knew how to make me cry
Who needs a smile when my tears
Are so full of love inside
And they are stronger than my pride

Let me love you
Let me love you
Unfold your angel wings
Fly out from my wildest dreams
Let me love you
Let me love you
Kiss me and let me die
Before you say goodbye

Jelena Tomasevic - Oro

Ko li miluje milo moje,
Ko li usne te snene budi?
Ne zaboravi ime moje
Kada krene da, da te ljubi
Klasje moje, ne spavaj.
Njega ljubi, mene uspavaj.
Ne lomi mi led, vodu nema,
Ne soli mi ranu, suza nema.
Ko li zaigra oro moje?
Neka ne igra za nas dvoje.
Klasje, mene uspavaj.
Nuna nej, nuna nuna nuna nuna nuna nej...
Na Vidovdan probudi me da ga opet pogledam.

English Translation:

Who is caressing my dear one,
Who is waking up those sleepy lips?
Don't forget my name
When my wheat starts to kiss you, do not sleep.
Kiss him, put me to sleep.
Do not break my ice, it has no water,
Do not put salt on my wound, there are no tears.
Who is dancing my hora?
May they not dance for the two of us.
My wheat, put me to sleep.
Nuna ney, nuna nuna nuna nuna nuna ney...
Wake me on St.Vitus' day, so that I look at him again.
