Croatia in Junior Eurovision 2025: Marino Vrgoč with “Snovi”
Marino is 10 years old and comes from Ploče, a small town on the Dalmatian coast. He recently finished the second grade in elementary school and participates in both the school choir and drama club, while also taking piano lessons.
Among his biggest passions is football, which fills much of his free time, and he cites Ronaldo as his life role model. Marino also practices karate.
His Junior Eurovision entry is not only his very first song but also his first appearance in a music video. Recently, he shared the stage with Jacques Houdek, who represented Croatia in Eurovision 2017.
Looking ahead, Marino dreams of becoming a doctor.
What do the “Snovi” lyrics mean?
Marino’s song is a powerful ballad, fully in Croatian, about chasing dreams and believing in the endless possibilities that life can offer. It conveys the message that no dream is too big or too small, and that every dream is valid and important.
The lyrics compare dreams to “little firelights,” symbolising their ability to shine in the darkness, guiding us and keeping our hope alive. Beyond chasing dreams, the song reminds us of a valuable lesson: happiness often comes from the simplest things in life, and joy can be found in appreciating those small, everyday moments.
Countless dreams shine everywhere
And they don’t exist in vain
When they come together, look
Everything is possible
The song also emphasises that dreams exist for a reason: to remind us that anything is possible. When a dream becomes collective, and people unite their efforts, hopes, and determination to achieve it, it can truly come to life.
