Slovenia: Tanja Ribic - Zbudi se

Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 1997 [1997]

Tam na koncu mesta stara hiša spi

Za devetim oknom deklica bedi

Zlata luna šteje njene solzice

Noè jih skriva, kot bi svoje zvezdice



Tam za prazno mizo èaka vsako noè

Njena èista duša klièe na pomoè:

"Dobre vile, kje so tiste ustnice ki s poljubi èarajo zaljubljence?"



Zbudi se, dobri princ

Rada bi ti dala vse

Svoje sanje in mladost

Da ne bom iz pravljice



Zbudi se, dobri princ

Rada bi ti dala vse

Svoje sanje in mladost

Da ne bom iz pravljice



Zbudi se, dobri princ

Rada bi ti dala vse

Svoje sanje in mladost

Da ne bom iz pravljice



Zbudi se



Novo jutro, jutro preko joka gre

Srce vidi, vidi, kar oko ne ve

Zbudi se
