Verjamem
Eva Boto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hrepenim iz globin, čez nebo rišem sonce
Preko sanj, le zanj mečem luč v njegove sence
Ki slovo jemljejo, brez spomina z luknjami
Kot med dlanmi da odteče pesek časa
Verjamem da znova, ujela se bova
In včeraj za zmeraj, se vrne z reko luči
Ah… ah… ah… ah…
Čutim da grem do dna, nemi glas poje v molu
Vendar pa zavel mi ne bo veter belih zastav
Verjamem, da znova, ujela se bova
In včeraj za zmeraj se vrne z reko luči
Nov dan lačen je sonca in nezlagan
Oh… (Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem)
(Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem)
Ker jaz se ne predam pred koncem
Jaz preživim le na svoj način
Da hrepenim, oh…

My favourite entries from Slovenia:
1. VERJAMEM (2012)
2. Stop (2005)
3. No one (2011)
4. Round and round (2014)
5. Here for you (2015)
Slovenia is my favourite country at ESC, and I'm very surprised Ljubljana hasn't hosted ESC yet.

This song's structure is like Molitva's
This structure applies to both songs:
For the First verse and First Chorus the backup singers just stood there.
The Backup singers start singing at the second chorus.
They both have some sort of cut-off or instrumental after the First Chorus
They both have the backup singers singing while main singer sings high note after Second Chorus.
Powerful Final Chorus
Ending with all of the backup singers standing behind or next to main singer.
First Verse - First Chorus - Instrumental(in this case: aaahh-ah-a-a-aaah) - Second Verse - Backup singers singing while main singer sings high note - Final Chorus - Epic Ending.
Anyways this deserved to qualify and place in the Top 15. What a shame Europe. Slovenia is always so underrated. It qualifies but always places behind 15th place. Maja doesn't count cos she deserved to win :P At least the televoters did Nusa justice in 2001 and placed her 7th. Still not good enough, she also deserved to win XD
@SilverStrumer
She was 16 at the time. Youngest participant in the contest! Keep trying Slovenia, I think you'll qualify one day!
@1CloudJumper
They did 2011 with one of the best songs of the 2010th shows.

Sander De Boer agree
@UgolinoV42346
Six (6) years later, I still don't understand why this masterpiece didn't qualify.
@TwoRedPassports
10 years later I still don’t understand why…
