Exclusive: Serhat shares “Di Na Na Na” — the Spanish version of his Eurovision 2019 entry

Earlier in the Summer, Serhat bagged another Golden Butterfly award for his work crossing borders through music. That accolade nodded to his international hit “Say Na Na Na”, which took San Marino to the Eurovision 2019 final and which went on to slay the digital charts in Slovakia, Indonesia and Turkey.

But that was just the beginning for the track born of Eurovision, but made for any occasion. “Say Na Na Na” was later released in German to target the German, Austrian and Swiss music markets. And in two days Spanish-speaking fans can also join the ride: “Di Na Na Na” — the Spanish version of “Say Na Na Na” will hit Spain and Latin America.

“Di Na Na Na” contains messages of hope for happier times ahead. 2020 has been a rather difficult year for most of us. The 24-hour news cycle reminds us — constantly and in real-time — of awful developments of a global pandemic, regional conflicts, financial collapse and bomb explosions. Serhat’s musical chant “Di Na Na Na” is a soothing distraction in a world that seems to be crumbling, and a friendly reminder that things will calm down after the storm. The Eurovision singing dentist also reminds us that he’s a polyglot. Why not add Spanish to his repertoire that already includes English, Turkish and German?

Wiwibloggs very own designer Josue Gil Aleman, the genius behind our annual Eurovision cartoons, created the animated clip that accompanies the song.

Speaking exclusively to wiwibloggs, Serhat explains:

“After the success of the English and German versions, it was time for the Spanish version of ‘Say Na Na Na’. Why? Because after Eurovision, I  received numerous requests from Spanish speaking fans. We worked for a long time on it and finally ‘Di Na Na Na’ is ready. I believe with the lyrics of Adolfo Caiman and the new animation video clip created by my dear Josue Gil Aleman, ‘Di Na Na Na’ will give hope and positivity to our lives. 2020 has not been an easy year for all of us, but we will win overcome all our difficulties in the end. As I always sing : Life is beautiful and fine.”

DI NA NA NA (lyrics)
By Serhat / Adaptacion español Adolfo Caimán

Verso
Estas solo y triste
la noche no va bien
todo estará en calma
no hay por qué correr
tienes que ser fuerte
y escuchar mi voz
nadie se va a preocupar
de tu desamor
Hagas lo que hagas
tus sueños volaran
Los colores de tu vida
Son toda la verdad
No olvides llamarme
yo siempre estaré aquí
Que la vida es bella hay que sobrevivir

Chorus
Di Na Na Na
En la oscura soledad di na na na
Al final está la luz es na na na
Di Na Na Na
Di Na Na Na
no estás solo vente arriba¡¡ na na na
eres como el arcoíris canta na na na
Di Na Na Na

Verso
Hagas lo que hagas

Los colores de tu vida
Son toda la verdad ( es verdad )
No olvides llamarme
yo siempre estaré aquí
que la vida es bella hay que sobrevivir

Chorus
Di Na Na Na
En la oscura soledad di na na na
Al final esta la luz es na na na
Di Na Na Na
Di Na Na Na

Part C
Si te sientes solo ( si te sientes solo)
tómalo con calma ( tómalo con calma )
Creo que estoy loco (creo que estoy loco)
me estoy volviendo loco
todos estamos locos
Un, dos, tres

Chorus
Di Na Na Na
En la oscura soledad di na na na
Al final está la luz es na na na
Di Na Na Na
Di Na Na Na
no estás solo vente arriba¡¡ na na na
eres como el arcoíris canta na na na
Di Na Na Na
