Serbia 2008 Eurovision Song
Tekst na srpskom Oro Ko li miluje, milo moje, Klasje moje ne spavaj Ne lomi mi led, vodu nema Ko li zaigra oro moje, Klasje moje, mene uspavaj. Na Vidovdan, probudi me, da ga opet pogledam. |

Slavs are, or at least are supposed to be red-headed or blond, and to have a fair complexion. He’s neither of these. So I checked his background. Intelligence Ops 😀
Darko-really? I had never heard of that before, but ok, I usually trust wikipedia too so suppose it’s all right 😛
Oh, yes, and one more thing.
I knew that the guy who won, Dima Bilan, isn’t of Slavic origin. Obvious, no?! 🙂
He’s from one of those small republics of the Russian Federation where the majority of citizens are of Turkic origin. So says wikipedia, and I trust wikipedia (usually). 😀
I’m very sorry that Jelena didn’t win. The song was beautiful, the stage performance was nice, too. The problem might have been that many people recognized a touch of ‘Lane moje’ in the song and decided not to vote for it, in spite of it being really really nice (as if the rest of the songs are not copies of some other songs, lol)
I don’t mean to underestimate the success of the Russian team, but their song doesn’t seem like anything special to me. I wasn’t impressed by the singer’s vocal performance, either. What probably aroused interest of the audience is the performance of Yevgeny Plyushchenko on like two square meters of ice on the stage. Then again, the Eurovision Song Contest is the competition of songs, vocal and stage performance, and singers’ outfits (how awful they may be).
The organizer probably didn’t want to add all these competing categories to the official title of the competition and it still remains the ‘Eurovision SONG Contest’.
jao nina… 🙄
Well we exchanged our 12 points though I must say I did NOT and once again, did NOT contribute to that!
Sorry but that’s just simple truth.
in what way can this be about Kosovo? lol….I don’t think it is….anyway the song was nice as before 😛
Hi ya all I am from Bosnia I think that bosnia will win because of its originality but Jelena really sings great, she is the best female voice in the Europe, But Laka is something else he is funny, and it makes me proud to hear him. Serbia congratulations anyway.P.S. I think this song is about Kosovo and it sholuld be ……….great song and amazin Jelena
Finals
Song 23
Serbia can win twice in a row!
Good luck Jelena!!!
ORO is a vey nice song! Jelena has a wonderful voice a I hope that she will win! I’m from Serbia, and sorry because of some little mistakes! ;)) I think that song isn’t borring! I am listening it at the moment and…I don’t know…I don’t know how to say it…IT’S MAGICAL!! Jelena is the best!!! SERBIA RULES!!!!! :))
This is a winner…Peter from Toronto!
Jelena is great..no, she’s the best!! 🙂
I also like greece and ukraine..but I don’t get how macedonia and slovenia didn’t make it to the final..
spanish song is nice..but nina by ferry frias is a lot lot better….
jub svima
I’m from Serbia and live in England..I love this song. I hope Serbia wins again, it’ll just be amazing
Pesma nije nista narocito,Marijina je bila bolja.. 😀 😛 🙂 😉
The song is great.Serbia is again the winner!!!
I’m not sure that you will win again but you would deserve it definately. I’m afraid the winner this year won’t be a ballad and a song in a native language again, even though most of the by far best songs are ballads in native languages this year! like Romania, Switzerland, Albania, Serbia, Israel….Switzerland did not even make it to the final….
argh take back the native language rule now >_< songs would be better..I think the song should be something that represents your country and its culture more like this does..
Ma pjesma je odlična.Srbija je ponovo među prvima!!!
Of course we will win again! Is there any doubt?!
Поздрав за Српкињу! 🙂
Ма наша песма је најбоља брее! Каква Русија, какви бакрачи…Јецо, свака част!!! 🙂
I’m form Romania … but I hope she wins … this song is amazing …
JELENA IS THE BEST!!!!!SERBIA FOREVER!
harika tek keli,meyle süper bi parca her zamn böyle gzl oluyor bunların sarkıları,,,,,,,
That is just because you are not so familiar with Serbian issues… I wish I wasn’t either! lol
I don’t know what Marija Serifovic was praying for at Eurovision 2007 but she has been involved in politics… click
I do not think this has any hidden political message or anything. I think esc-songs should be neutral when it comes to politics no matter what opinion the singer has. I cannot see anything that could be political in this text.
But the last year’s winner was trying to spread a political message? I had never heard about that….
Your English is fine but your friend is wrong.
The story behind the song „Oro“ is that girl is supposed to dream about her darling on St Vitus day, because if she dreams about him on St Vitus day, she will also marry him. It is believed that if on the night before the day, you put a piece of rosemary called vidovicica under your pillow, it helps you dream of your darling and to marry him.
Jelena’s exact words:
I suppose it’s quite understandable though that everything around here gets associated with politics but obviously, Jelena is not trying to spread any political message (unlike 2007 winner)
isnt this song a political ‘tribute’ to not accept that kosovo is independent? my friend who is macedonian think so..so i was just wondering… sorry if my eng sucks.
thanks Milena 😛
One thing – I refuse to believe the song is about Kosovo (I posted explanation in one of the comments above) and she said it herself
Hi there…well,I think that Oro is the best song this year.Jelena has a magic voice n the music is very good. lyrics? excellent.the song represents the spirit n tradition of serbia…She sings about love and at the same time about kosovo…St. Vitus’ day n other…other song that I like is secret combination of kalomoira…It’s not bad-good rhythm. And of course – Believing (russia)…N “hey chiki chiki” is cute too…All of this songs re gonna bee very popular this year, but only 1 can win… 🙂
I think Bosnian entry is worse than Croatian. They are both bad but.. what Laka?! jesus!
It’s really a shame for a country that produced Hari Mata Hari, Dino Merlin etc…
So, our neighbors are getting 0,00000000000 votes from me but they can still vote for Jelena, I don’t mind! 😀
Hello everybody! I’m from Serbia too, and Oro is a great song and Jelena is a great singer. I also like Armenia and Ireland, maybe Macedonia, Bosnia is interesting and funny… Slovenia isn’t bad. But Croatia is awful and, sorry, but the Spain too, althought I love Spanish language, people, music…
I hope wi’ll win again. Go ahead Jelena!
