Song of the week: Gori vatra

For the fist time I will be posting a song from Yugoslavia in Song of the week. I choose their 1973 representative Gori vatra, sang in the bosnian language by Zdravko Čolić. This song is in my opinion among the best Yugoslavia entries in ESC, although I must say Yugoslavia had a very high standart participation throughout the years culminating with their 1989 victory. Gori vatra reached only 15th place among 17 in 1973, scoring 65 points.

The fire is burning

It's still burning, here beside us
Fire of love we had ignited
The flame is growing, the light is expanding
Closer and closer is the day when we'll say

The fire burns, inside us
Love burns, full of flames
Am I dreaming, or is it really this beautiful
Or did I, my dear, fall in love with you, crazily and blindly
Come now, come now, come now
Say that, say that

The fire burns inside us now
Love burns, full of flames
The fire burns

It's still burning, here beside us
Fire of love we ignited
Na na na na na... na na na na na...
Na na na na na... na na na na na na na...

The fire burns, inside us
Love burns, full of flames
Am I dreaming, or is it really this beautiful
Or did I, my dear, fall in love with you, crazily and blindly
Come now, come now, come now
Say that, say that

The fire burns inside us now
Love burns, full of flames

The fire burns inside us now
Love burns, full of flames
The fire burns
