In 2003, Marija released her debut album, titled "Naj, najbolja" ("The Very Best"), which was well received by the public. She participated in the Budva Festival, in Montenegro, with the song "Gorka čokolada", but didn't achieve any major success. Next year, she entered the festival again, with the song "Bol do ludila", and won the first prize. The song topped the charts in Serbia, Montenegro and other ex-Yugoslav republics and was a major hit. In 2005, she tried her luck by entering another festival. This time it was Beovizija, the Serbian semifinal of Evropesma (the Serbian-Montenegrin preselection for Eurovision Song Contest), where she managed to qualify for the final with the song "Ponuda". After a national scandal in which the Montenegrin jury boycotted the Serbian participants, Marija came only 18th in the final, getting 5 points. That same year, she entered and won the Serbian Radio Festival, with the song "U nedelju", composed by Leontina Vukomanović. She was a clear favourite from the very beginning. She also received the award for the best vocal performance.
Her second album, "Bez ljubavi" ("Without Love"), was released in 2006, and was quite a success. On February 21, 2007, Marija held her first concert. About 4000 people attended this event at the Sava Centre, Belgrade.
Marija entered the Beovizija Festival 2007 with the song "Molitva" ("Prayer"), and won the final of the contest on March 8 (receiving 12 points from the televoting and 10 points from the jury), after giving an amazing vocal performance. She represented her country in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, in Helsinki, Finland, and won the final of the contest, on May 12, getting a total of 268 points.
Her third album, "Nisam anđeo" ("I'm not an Angel"), was released in March 2008. Her fourth album, "Anđeo" ("Angel"), was released in November 2009.
Molitva
Marija Šerifović Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Postelja prazna tera san,
A ?ivot se topi
I nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan.
K'o razum da gubim,
Jer stvarnost I ne primećujem,
Jo? uvek te ljubim,
K'o luda, ne znam kuda,
Ljubavi se nove bojim,
A dane, ?ive rane,
Vi?e ne brojim.
Molitva, kao ?ar na mojim usnama je,
Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje.
(I) Nebo zna, kao ja,
Koliko puta sam ponovila,
To nebo zna, ba? kao ja,
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina
Molitva.
Al Bogu ne mogu
Lagati sve dok se molim,
A la?em ako ka?em
Da te ne volim
The above lyrics come from the chorus of Marija Serifovic's song Molitva, which won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007. The song is about the struggle to forget someone you love and who has left you. The lyrics describe how the singer cannot close her eyes, as an empty bed haunts her dreams, and time is slipping away quickly. She is losing her mind because she cannot accept the reality of the situation, that the person she loves is gone. But even though she knows it's over, she still loves him blindly and can't help it.
The singer is afraid of falling in love again and living through the pain once more. She feels like a fool who doesn't know where to go or what to do. She has suffered through the days like living wounds and can't count them anymore. The only thing that gives her hope is prayer. The word "molitva" means "prayer" in Serbian, and the singer repeats it throughout the song as it is the only way she can express her longing for her loved one. She repeats his name as if it were a magical incantation that could bring him back to her. She acknowledges that she cannot lie to God, that she still loves this person despite the pain they have caused her.
In summary, Marija Serifovic's song Molitva is a deeply emotional ballad about the pain of lost love and the power of prayer. It describes the struggle of the human heart to accept that someone you love has left you and that you have to move on.

Ni oka da sklopim
I can't close my eyes
Postelja prazna tera san
An empty bed keeps me awake
A život se topi
My life is melting away
I nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan.
And disappearing quickly, like sand slipping through my fingers.
K'o razum da gubim,
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Jer stvarnost I ne primećujem,
Because I hardly notice reality,
Još uvek te ljubim,
Yet I still love you,
Još uvek ti slepo verujem.
Still blindly trust you.
K'o luda, ne znam kuda,
Like a mad woman, I have no direction,
Ljubavi se nove bojim,
I fear new love,
A dane, žive rane,
But days are like open wounds,
Više ne brojim.
I don't count them anymore.
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je,
My prayer is burning on my lips,
Molitva, mesto reči samo ime tvoje.
My prayer is simply your name.
(I) Nebo zna, kao ja,
As well as I do, the sky knows,
Koliko puta sam ponovila,
How many times I've repeated,
To nebo zna, baš kao ja,
The sky knows, just like me
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina Molitva.
That your name is my only prayer.
Al Bogu ne mogu,
But I can't lie to God,
Lagati sve dok se molim,
While I pray,
A lažem ako kažem,
And if I say that,
Da te ne volim
I don't love you

Enjoy
I can’t close my eyes
Empty bed chases dream away
And life melts
And disappears fast, in the twinkling of an eye
Like I’m losing my mind,
Cause I can’t even notice the real world
I still love you, I still trust you blindly
Like a lunatic, I don’t know where to go
a new love scares me
and days, open wounds
I don’t count anymore
Prayer, like a fire on my lips
prayer, instead of words, your name only
Heaven knows, like I do
how many times I’ve repeated
heaven knows, just like I do
that your name is my only
prayer
But I can’t lie to God
lie as long as I pray
and I lie if I say
that I don’t love you
