Hello then,

I have two songs from Eurovision which I've committed to memory because they are the most hilarious Eurovisioney songs in the world. Is there someone Bosnian and Croation out there who can help me with a bit of a translation? Cos since last year I've been singing these lyrics at people with no idea what they mean :D

Apologies, I can't do any upsidedown circumflexes on letters/accents on consonants :(

Bosnia's Entry 2003 - Mija Martina Ne brini

Odlazi dan
Ti polake za njim kreni
Ali sam
Jer izgubiti ces igru
Ovu igru koju odavno vec znam

(Chorus)
Ne brini, ne brini za mene
Laz mi nista ne moze
Kazi, kazi kako je
kada se gubi sve

Pred svima govoris
Da nista ne patis
I da me ne volis, babe :))!)
Sad vazi, pokazi
Da mozes bez mene
jer samo dvije rijeci
Danas ti zelim reci
Bye, bye, za kraj.

Croatia's Entry, 2003 - Claudia Somethingorova Vise nisam tvoja

Ja ne trebam nikoga
Da mi govori,
Kojim putem trebam ravno
A kojim skrenuti

I tko si ti sada da mi sudis?
Uzalud se trudis, sve je propalo.
Prekasno sad je da se ucis,
Vec me gubis predugo, bas predugo.

(Chorus)
Vise nisam tvoja
Nisam ona koja
Trpi da bi bila voljena
Bit cu uvijek svoja
Losija il' bolja
Al' cu biti sigurna, u sebe sigurna.

Ja ne trebam nikoga
Da pokazuje
Sto to trebam, sto se smije
A sto ne smije.

I tko si ti...... etc.

Many, many, MANY thanks for your help! My Bosnian friend's reluctant to help me cos of the apparent real sad, (pathetic) lyrics, but hey... it's Eurovision. It's lovely. But I did learn how to say 'Your butt is eating your underpants' (or soetmhing?), for a 'wedgie'

Pojede ti guza gace...

Chpas :D

It is... it's fun to say too :p

EDIT: Sorry for misspelling "Croatian" in the title of the thread.... for the linguistic prescriptivists out there...

Bosnia's Entry 2003 - Mija Martina Ne brini

the day is ending
you are slowly going after him
but by urself.. because you are going to lose the game
this game which i have known for a long time?

(Chorus)
dont worry, dont worry about me
lies does nothing for me
tell me, tell me how it is
when everything is lost

in front of everyone you say
that you have no worries
and that you dont love me
now its important.. show me
that you can be without me
theres only 2 words
i would like to say to you
bye bye its the end


Croatia's Entry, 2003 - Claudia Somethingorova Vise nisam tvoja
i dont need anybody
to tell me
which way i go straight
and which way i turn

and who are you now to judge me?
you are struggling.. everything has fallen
its too late for u to learn
you have been losing me for too long.. way too long

(Chorus)
im not yours anymore
im not the one
who will struggle to be loved
i will always be my own person
for worse or better
but ill be sure.. sure in myself

i dont need anyone
to show me
what i need, what is allowed
and what is not allowed


sorry thats kinda crap.. i hope u get the general gist of it
