Read the lyrics and translation of “Lijepa Tena,” Croatia’s Eurovision 2009 entry by Igor Cukrov feat. Andrea. They finished 13th in the second semi-final with 33 points.
Bio sam oblak, lebdio,
i sunca nisam
tebe cekao
Bog te je meni poslao
od srca otkinuo svog, da bi živio
I cekao da ti meni das cudo ljubavi
Hej draga, hej draga
Suze u pamuk pretvaras
Umorne oci odmaras,
zacaras
Hej lijepa, hej sveta
Vodu u vino pretvaras
Ti se molis za sve nas, za sve nas
Tena, Tena…
Bio sam oblak, lebdio,
i sunca nisam
Hej draga, hej draga
Suze u pamuk pretvaras
Umorne oci odmaras,
da li znas?
Hej lijepa, hej sveta
Vodu u vino pretvaras
Ti se molis za sve nas, za sve nas
Tena
Tena
Tena, Tena, Tena
English Translation
Beautiful Tena
I was a cloud, floated,
and haven’t seen the sun
was waiting for you
God has sent you to me
detached you from his heart, so that he could live
and waited for you to give me the miracle of love
Hey darling, hey darling
You’re turning tears into cotton
You’re a sight for sore eyes,
you enchant
Hey beauty, hey holy
You’re turning water into wine
You’re praying for all of us, for all of us
Tena, Tena…
I was a cloud, floated,
and haven’t seen the sun
Hey darling, hey darling
You’re turning tears into cotton
You’re a sight for sore eyes,
Do you know?
Hey beauty, hey holy
You’re turning water into wine
You’re praying for all of us, for all of us
Tena
Tena
Tena, Tena, Tena
