Im from Sweden But speak serbo/croatian language every day home Because my mother is from Croatia so i understand everything What She singing about her voice is very Good and the same like Zeljko Joksimovic with Lane Moje from serbia also in ESC 2004
What I really loved about this one was how they completely let the voice of the singer speak for itself. There was no flashy show, it was simplistic, subtle, symbolic. She captured us completely on her own.
Serbia’s entry the following year was also amazing. Jelena tomisevic with the song Oro. It came 6th. Definitely worth checking out and I’m sure you’ll love it.
A very very deserved winner. Still in my all-time top 5. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Great message and first open lesbian winner of the ESC.
12 years later and I still get goosebumps all over listening to this. 19 year old me loved it not u understanding a word and 31 year old me still don't understand but absolutely love it
@@Phlippan87 if you haven't there is definitely a video of the song where they provide a translation, and it really is a great song, the English rewrite doesn't do the meaning justice at all
Prayer I can’t close my eyes Empty bed chases dream away And life melts And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye Like I’m losing my mind, Cause I can’t even notice the real world I still love you, I still trust you blindly Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go a new love scares me and days, open wounds I don’t count anymore Prayer, like a fire on my lips prayer, instead of words, your name only Heaven knows, like I do how many times I’ve repeated heaven knows, just like I do that your name is my only prayer But I can’t lie to God lie as long as I pray and I lie if I say that I don’t love you
I always get goosebumps whenever I listen to this song although I don't know the language and It's been a long while since I hadn't listened and I got goosebumps again. It is and will be one of the all time unique songs in Eurovision history. Thanks Serbia for letting us listen to this beautiful song :) Big loves from Turkey
I’m from Serbia, and this is the best song that ever represented us on the Eurovision contest. Now, the song is about how she is very in love with some guy, and eventhou he makes mistakes, she will always love him. Something like that.
This was for Zeljko Joksimovic - Lane Moje (Serbia & Montenegro) he didnt win 2004. Ruslana was to good. Another year in the early 2000 and he would have won for sure.
molitva means prayer. I love this song, still listen to it from time to time when I am in the mood for it. Definitely still holds up, but I think if it were to be done now days the staging would have to change up a bit, but none the less still a great song. Also as everyone else has said, please react to Ukraine for 2007, you won't be disappointed.
That was one of the best nights in my life. I was in the seventh row and had decided it was my number one on 2nd hearing of the promotional video. I remember her at the eurovillage in Helsinki she is short and signed a cd as well as giving people love heart ink pads which I still own. On my way to the arena I saw two Serbian guys carrying their flags and said `Marija's going to win"` They were sort of dumbfounded. I knew it in my gut.
It's 2022 i still think the best song at Eurovision ever!Prayer I can't close my eyes Empty bed chases dream away And life melts And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye Like I'm losing my mind, Cause I can't even notice the real world I still love you, I still trust you blindly Like a lunatic, I don't know where to go a new love scares me and days, open wounds I don't count anymore Prayer, like a fire on my lips prayer, instead of words, your name only Heaven knows, like I do how many times I've repeated heaven knows, just like I do that your name is my only prayer But I can't lie to God lie as long as I pray and I lie if I say that I don't love you
Мы Сербы приехали наши претки са Карпата.потому у нас одна вера.один язык мы говорим по русски и один флаг.моя семья мальчики говорят по русски.сербски и английский яэык
It is a wonderful song, one of my favorite songs in Eurovision :) First I heard that song, I cried although I didn't understand a word. But it is just beautiful...
Prayer I can’t close my eyes Empty bed chases dream away And life melts And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye Like I’m losing my mind, Cause I can’t even notice the real world I still love you, I still trust you blindly Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go a new love scares me and days, open wounds I don’t count anymore Prayer, like a fire on my lips prayer, instead of words, your name only Heaven knows, like I do how many times I’ve repeated heaven knows, just like I do that your name is my only prayer But I can’t lie to God lie as long as I pray and I lie if I say that I don’t love you
Wonderful and daring. Beautiful language sung about love from such a devoutly conservative country .it would not have been possible many years prior ,the lesbian context. Gorgeous and Serbian ppl are unique and charming !
it's a song about having to hide your feelings the lyrics go: I can’t close my eyes the empty bed chases my dream away my life is melting and it's disappearing fast, in a blink of an eye like I’m losing my mind i can't tell what is reality i still love you, I still trust you blindly like crazy(im lost ), I don’t know how to find my way new love scares me and days keep opening wounds to many for me to count like a prayer, like a fire on my lips,it's burning like a prayer, instead of words, your name i'm chanting heaven knows, like I do how many times I’ve repeated heaven knows, just like I do that your name is my only prayer but I can’t lie to god when i'm praying and I will lie if I say that I don’t love you (this is not the best translation but i'm dyslexic)
Vladimir Moore I doubt he will like it. It’s a joke song and don’t know how it got into the final let alone come 2nd( but no where near a close 2nd) It’s absolutely laughable and not in a good way. Jake, don’t waste your time with this one as their are so many amazing songs for you to hear.

That's just your opinion :) For many of us, Lasha Tumbai is one of the biggest hits from Eurovision. And if you did some research, you would know that Ukraine was an automatic finalist that year, because of the top 10 result the year before. I admit it wouldn't have done as well as it did if it wasn't from an ex-USSR country, but people obviously liked it.
i find it really refreshing to see your reactions to esc. I have watched a few other americans react to it, not put everyone in the same corner, but most of them tend to be very disrespectul. only caring about the looks of the singer, weirded out by contestant lika donna international and conchita annd in general not having an open mind. thank you for caring about the music, which it ultimately is about.
Thank you, Marija is one of the best singers still in Serbia, and her mother was great singer of folk music. In Serbia is very important value to be natural, simple, approachable...Dosen't metter what some people talk about us. My respect, and sincere gratitude!
Great memories for me, it was the first edition I watched live and I totally agreed with the winner. I remember my favorite was Georgia though. That year we had also mesmerizing entries from Hungary, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Russia, Belarus, Cyprus, Finland, Macedonia...and of course, epic Ukraine.
5:15 That's not the meaning of the song, the clothes might have been related, but it's a love song basically saying she prays for the love of her significant one, molitva means prayer :)
Serbian-American girl here. No offense but I laughed so hard at your attempt to guess the song 😂 not even close, my dude. Lol Nothing to do with androgyny. Its a prayer to her lover and basically expressing how much she needs/loves/misses her in her life. I respect the attempt though 😂 Much love from New Jersey ❤
Back when this song won, I hated it (and I was so mad it won), but looking back on it a few years afterwards, I was like "Wow, I was so stupid, this is /such/ a great song!" I love it now. And I guess a song can be whatever you make it, but the lyrics actually talk about heartbreak (and still being deeply in love with someone who left you/broke up with you).
From the winners you should check 1995 winners Secret Garden - Nocturne. Non winners: Verka Serduchka - Lasha Tumbai from 2007 (Ukraine) Zeljko Joksimovic - Lane Moje from 2005 (Serbia & Montenegro) Jalisse - Fiumi di parole from 1997 (Italy) Doris Dragovic - Marija Magdalena from 1999 (Croatia) Urban Symphony - Rändajad from 2009 (Estonia)
You should really react to: Dana International Israell 1998 - Diva Sertab - Everyway that I can Turkey 2003 you like this one from the turkish entries video Elena Paparizou Greece 2005 Ruslana Ukriane 2004 Wild Dancing and also the runner up from that year Lane Moje it was really close under 20 points I think Verka Serduchka Ukraine 2007
She is singing about prayer. she is singing: Prayer.. like a embers on my lips, instead of words only your name, Sky knows just like me, how many times did I repeat that(x2), Your name is my prayer. That's the meaning of words in the refrain.
Other notable songs from 2007: Belarus - Koldun - Work your Magic (A Bond-style song with a staging containing sticky walls) Bulgaria - Elitsa Todorova & Stojan Yankulov - Water (Powerful ethnic techno song with wild drums) Georgia - Sopho Khalvashi - Visionary Dream (Another ethnic trippy electro dancefloor song) Moldova - Natalia Barbu - Fight (A scantly clad eastern european lady playing a wild violin) Ukraine - Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (one of the most memorable fun and trash entries ever) Russia - Serebro - Song #1 (sounds like a Sugababes song) Bosnia and Herzegowina - Marija Sestic - Rijeka bez imena (another beautiful Balkan Ballad) United Kingdom - Scooch - Flying the Flag (As camp a s arow of tents, utter Eurovosion trash and full of sexual innuendos)
Molitva means in English Pray or say a Prayer!🙏 Best singer in Serbia is she and Bojana Stojemenov who sang the English song for Serbia what happend 1 or 2 times in the History of Eurovision! ❤️
Greetins from Czechia. Marija is one of my most favourite singers and I was happy in 2007 that she had won. The song and her presentation are amazing. But Marija has more very beautiful songs, I recommend her YT channel.
It's so amazing to watch somebody so positive about Eurovision see the best Eurovision acts for the first time, thank you Jake and greetings from Poland
I remember being so happy when this won. I was so afraid Ukraine might win this year and thankfully they didn't. Cause this is really one of the best songs in the history of the song contest. And a deserving winner.
Personally i ve never heard a better voice in eurovision. She takes you even if you dont speak serbian. Greatings from greece!
Kaliopi from Macedonia is up there as well. ;)
@@izil1fe OMG yes. She made me cry with Dona.
Loreen’s voice is my favourite
this comment didnt age well imo... at that time i would say the same or Kaliopi with Crno i belo.
but now its deffinetly Gjons tears or Hatari
@@flopjul3022 I think there are better voices in all esc history, u should check old ones
Music has no language barriers. You don't need to know what she's singing about to feel it.
i cry evrytime i am listening cuz i know text its so much better when you know what is she talking
If you know the text, it makes you feel the meaning deeper, but if you don't, it's powerful in a different way - you can inject it with whatever meaning seems right to you, which may touch you even more than the actual text.
You are wrong
u are partly true but with knowing the lyrics its better cuz u can relate.
im from serbia its very touching
Best song in the contest. Maybe ever 😊
noo
Laurentiu Mudrenco yeeeeessssss
Absolutely yeeeees!☝️☺️
Absolutely YES!!!
When Zdravko Colic won, that was the besy
I think that is the best singer ever in Eurovision. Her voice is WOW, it goes right in to your heart. I remember it like yesterday.
Hugs from Sweden🎈
Im from Serbia and im glad you like it... Tack så mycket, Bellalinas!
Thanks man, hugs from us
Im from Sweden But speak serbo/croatian language every day home Because my mother is from Croatia so i understand everything What She singing about her voice is very Good and the same like Zeljko Joksimovic with Lane Moje from serbia also in ESC 2004

Aleksandar Vlajkinovski but as Serbia and Montenegro...
Vladimir Vlajko offically yes...that artist and everything else have nothing too do with Montenegro...
Aleksandar Vlajkinovski A pa to ja znam najbolje ;)
It's even better than Molitva!
A very very deserved winner. Still in my all-time top 5. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.
Great message and first open lesbian winner of the ESC.
Молитва means prayer, I believe.
Robbie Heslop yes
It does
Robbie Heslop Not prayer, but 'pray'. It's a verb.
Анонимус actually , 'moliti (se)' is a verb,'molitva' is a noun.
sprinkleblu Correct, that's what I wanted to say.
12 years later and I still get goosebumps all over listening to this. 19 year old me loved it not u understanding a word and 31 year old me still don't understand but absolutely love it
I was gonna comment the 10 missing years, but then I realized you must've made a typo with either 9/19 or 31/21.

I still have goosebumps... Pure perfection. Especially if you know meaning and can feel it quite deeply

Prayer
I can’t close my eyes
Empty bed chases dream away
And life melts
And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye
Like I’m losing my mind,
Cause I can’t even notice the real world
I still love you, I still trust you blindly
Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go
a new love scares me
and days, open wounds
I don’t count anymore
Prayer, like a fire on my lips
prayer, instead of words, your name only
Heaven knows, like I do

OMG😍 Such a strong and amazing song ❤️
Heaven knows, like i do, that your name is my only prayer....
Still gives me goosebumps, after all those years
Three songs I cannot watch without tears: Molitva, 1944, and Amar Pelos Dois.
She's been posting concert performances on her TH-cam channel - some fun covers of US pop included - everything she does is Ah-mazing! 😊
The song is basically a love statement towards the one she loves.
az929292 she‘s lesbian
I always get goosebumps with this song!!!
The song had absolutely no political propaganda. It was just a normal love song. Marija is kinda bisexual, yes, but she wasn't flaunting it.

and it's disappearing fast, in a blink of an eye
like I’m losing my mind
i can't tell what is reality

but I can’t lie to god

Molitva is so beautiful and it means a lot to me because that was the first Eurovision I watched.
2007 and 2017 best winners ever.
Please react to Verka Serduchka - lasha tumbai. He is a Ukrainian drag queen and was second place after this song
Vladimir Moore I doubt he will like it. It’s a joke song and don’t know how it got into the final let alone come 2nd( but no where near a close 2nd) It’s absolutely laughable and not in a good way. Jake, don’t waste your time with this one as their are so many amazing songs for you to hear.

'The sky knows, as I do, your name is my only prayer.
