FYR Macedonia: Vlado Janevski - Ne zori, zoro

Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 1998 [1998]

Stoy, ne zori zoro dushmanke

V pushti noychta da gi sokrie

Ochive shto radyat biseri

Srtzevo shto druga ne lyubi

Vinoto me vodi do nea

A se podaleku od pameta



Yas moram da piyam

Da se opiyam

Bez nea da zhiveam

Mayko, ne mozham



Odi mayko prashay, kay neyzinite

Laukedi ya dadat za mene

Ako ya dadat, vikni svirachi

Ako ne, mesto kletva

Po mene zaplachi



Yas moram da piyam

Da se opiyam

Bez nea sam da zhiveam

Mayko, ne mozham



Yas moram da piyam

Da se opiyam

Bez nea sam da zhiveam

Mayko, ne mozham



Ne zori, zoro

Piyano oro

So mene zaigray

Ne zori, zoro
