Uvek kad u nebo pogledam

I liked this song on the night, and it is my favourite song some time after the contest. I present here a sort of video-picture-line-by-line thing so you can at least 'imagine' the song; though watching the contest (or YouTube clip) or having the official CD is a definite benefit!

The final placement of this song is not discussed here. If you have not already, read the review!

The "unofficial" English translation of the contest is from http://www.esckaz.com/jesc/, and I recommend you pay a visit if you are interested in seeing what it looks like in Cyrillic (Serbia uses Cyrillic) and for pictures of the performers other than those broadcast as part of JESC 2008.
I have tidied up the translation in places, and I must say I am extremely surprised that the official website does not attempt to provide translations - how are Dutch kids going to know what the hell Armenian kids are on about? The logical place to try to find out is... you guessed it, the website!

 

Uvek kad u nebo pogledam

(introduction)

 

Uvek kad u nebo pogledam Always when I look to the sky

Ja se setim tvoga osmeha I remember your smile

Uvek našu pesmu otpevam Always sing our song

Zlo od sebe oteram And throw away bad things from myself

 

Ujutru kad oči otvorim At morning, when I open my eyes

Za tebe se Bogu pomolim For you I pray to God

Zahvalim mu se što postojiš Thank him for your existance

I samnom vreme provodiš And for spending your time with me

 

Kada te za ruku držim ja When I hold your hand

Ceo svet nam je pod nogama The whole world is under my feet

Svaki kamen, svaka obala Every stone, each coast

Tu je jer sam s tobom ostala Is there because I'm with you

 

Kada te u oči pogledam When I look in your eyes

Znam da samo tebi pripadam I know that I belong only to you

I u bilo kakvoj nevolji And through any trouble

Kraj tebe ću ostati With you I will stay

 

Svaki put kada me zagrliš Every time when you embrace me

Neku snažnu struju osetiš Feel a strong power

Poželiš da me nikad ne pustiš It will never let me go away

I od svega zaštitiš And it will protect us from everything

 

Kada te za ruku držim ja When I hold your hand

Ceo svet nam je pod nogama The whole world is under my feet

Svaki kamen, svaka obala Every stone, each coast

Tu je jer sam s tobom ostala Is there because I'm with you

 

Kada te za ruku držim ja When I hold your hand

Ceo svet nam je pod nogama The whole world is under my feet

Svaki kamen, svaka obala Every stone, each coast

Tu je jer sam s tobom ostala Is there because I'm with you

Tu je jer sam s tobom ostala Is there because I'm with you

 

This, incidentally, also provides one of the best little bits of dance routine of the whole show (read it like a snake):

I can understand that still frames might be hard to follow, so if your system can play Flash video (SWF/FLV) and you don't object to a pop-up, then click here for a short video (464Kb).
If you cannot play this, you may alternatively download a slightly better XviD MPEG-4 video (586Kb).
