A few months ago, Serbia started the search for the song and performer that will follow Bojana’s footsteps on the Junior Eurovision stage. From all the submissions received, the broadcaster chose two finalists Staša Kostadinović with the song “Da, da, da” (by V. Graić and L. Vukomanović) and the winner Darija Vračević with “Podigni glas” (by A. Milutinović, L. Vukomanović and Darija herself). Both performed their entries in front of a jury panel made up of Silvana Grujić, Anja Rogljić, Uroš Marković, Jelena Vlahović, Dušan Šukletović, Jovana Dukić and Tamara Petković., who decided the winner.
Darija’s entry is expected to be released soon. Meanwhile, you can find the lyrics of “Podigni glas” (Raise Your Voice), who talks about climate change, below:
Od samog prvog daha
svi smo mi ovde gosti,
na vazduhu i vodi
planeta život rodi
otkud glad i rat, pogodi.
Ona je ovde bila
otkad postoji vreme,
ali pod ovom vatrom
njene su usne neme
sat otkucava poslednji čas!
ref:
Podigni glas, u ime nas,
koji zajedno budućnost živimo
Podigni glas, uradi to,
jer sutra već sve biće prekasno.
Da li si cuo vetar
i tužnu pesmu mora,
video kako gori
hiljadu zelengora
svet pred očima nestaće nam!
ref:
Podigni glas, u ime nas,
koji zajedno budućnost živimo,
podigni glas, uradi to,
jer sutra već sve biće prekasno
Zemlja je jedini dom za sve nas…
