Read the lyrics to Regina’s “Bistra voda”—Bosnia & Herzegovina’s entry at Eurovision 2009. The group finished third in the first semi-final with 125 points, and ninth in the grand final with 106 points.
Pitao sam neke ljude u mome kraju
gdje mi dusa stanuje
Jednu tajnu za mene
kazu krijes draga
Pitao sam da mi vrate
ono vrijeme, dane, sate,
proljece
na ljubav mirise
Tako kazu
Rodi me
u majsku zoru
Kupaj me
u bistroj vodi
Cuvam jedan cvijet
kad svi drugi odu
Cuvam te
dok sam ziv
Ukradi malo sunca za nas
nemas sutra, nemas danas
Lako je
kad ti pjesma srce nade
Rodi me
u majsku zoru
Kupaj me
u bistroj vodi
Cuvam jedan cvijet
kad svi drugi odu
Cuvam te
dok sam ziv
Rodi me
u majsku zoru
Kupaj me
u bistroj vodi
Cuvam jedan cvijet
kad svi drugi odu
Cuvam te
dok sam ziv
English Translation
Clear Water
I’ve asked some people in my neighborhood
where does my soul live
One secret for me
they say you’re keeping, my dear
I’ve asked them to give me back
the time, days, hours,
There’s love scent
in the Spring
they say
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
Steal a bit of sun for us
there’s no tomorrow, no today
It’s easy
when a song finds your heart
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
Give me birth
at a May dawn
Bathe me
in clear water
I’m keeping a flower
when everybody else leaves
I’m keeping you
for as long as I live
