Dobro jutro Evropa! In recent days JESC entries have been revealed thick and fast, and today it was Serbia’s turn to unveil Lena Stamenkovic‘s song “Lenina pesma”. We’re pleased to say that she is in it to win it!
RTS internally selected 11-year-old Lena, who rose to fame after placing fourth on the children’s talent show Pinkove Zvezdice. Her JESC song is a ballad sung entirely in Serbian and Lena does an amazing job hitting the high notes. We’re talking mini Bojana Stamenov, y’all! The video features Lena singing on stage while background dancers deliver an elaborate dance routine (wearing tutus and earth-colored tops). Could this be the final stage presentation for Sofia?
Lena co-wrote the song with the help of Leontino Vukomanovic, who also served as producer. The song has a similar sound to Krisia Todorova’s “Planet of the Children” from last year’s contest. We can totally see Lena following in Krisia’s footsteps and climbing the scoreboard.
Lena Stamenkovic — Lenina pesma
“Lenina pesma” lyrics in English
This is a song about the world
Where the Sun is darkness
Where flowers do not blossom
Where kids are alone
This is a story about a tear
That lies in my heart
About the room that is cold
Where the light escapes the day
And when the day is over
I just want it to be better
That once we can
Good to repel the evil
And when we dream a dream
Let it be a thousand of different colours
Of laugh joyous flight
Of luck the most beautiful flower
The world remains on us
And when the day is over
I just want it to be better
That once we can
Good to repel the evil
And when we dream a dream
Let it be a thousand of different colours
Of laugh joyous flight
Of luck the most beautiful flower
The world remains on us
So, what do you think of Lena’s song? Can she give Serbia its first win in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest? Let us know in the comments section below!
This is the Junior ‘Molitva’ moment…this is a solemn prayer for the children whose childhood has been taken away from them, but their dreams can’t be crushed. People’s hearts will melt when they hear and see Lena – she’s so angelic and has this innocent baby face with those apricot cheeks and almond eyes that these alone will guarantee many points. This is top 3 material.
It’s nice but didnt captivate me. Got to the end of the song and I have no idea which bit was the chorus. Listened again and still meh. Doesn’t make it into my top 5

2. Ukraine
3. Slovenia
4. Armenia
5. Netherlands
And I can’t remember most of the others :p

Albania 4.5/10 Nice level of songs till now, I can say that no one is really bad and I can pleasantly listen almost all of them. 10-11 are mediocre and a bit annoying at times , 9 is harmless 7-8 are good but lack something… Read more »
