Following the most exhaustive selection process in the history, during which no stone was left unturned, the Croatian jury is finally ready to put forward their bid. We are proud to present Tango by Vatra. I hope you will enjoy it!

 

Vatra is a rock band from Virovitica (Podravina). Their leading vocal, Ivan Dečak, is a household name in Croatia. He has been a mentor during several seasons of the Croatian The Voice.

Vatra - Tango

 

 

 

Tango

 

Plesao bih s tobom

Kroz najprometnije ceste

Jedan tango kroz crveno

Tamo gdje nitko ne bi plesao

Na vrhu Hendrixovog mosta

I to mi ne bi bilo dosta

 

Mi bi se držali za vodove

Na krovu 14-ice

Sijevale bi iskre

 

Ref.

Samo mi stani na prste

Odgrizi mi usne

Gorko, slatko -- kao tango

Crno i crveno

Stani mi na prste

Odgrizi mi usne

 

Zavrtio bih s tobom

Piruete niz petlje

Da nas nikad ne odmrse

Plesom razbijali bi izloge

Gradu ponestalo bi stakla

 

Mi bi se držali za vodove

Na krovu 14-ice

Sijevale bi iskre

 

Ref.

 

Licem uz lice, za naklon je prerano

Sve ovo još jednom ponovit bi trebalo

Gledaj me u oči, gledaj me...

 

Ref.

 

 

Tango

 

I'd dance with you

Along the busiest of roads

One tango through the red lights

Where no one would dance

On the top of the Hendrix's bridge*

And even that wouldn't be enough

 

We'd cling onto the handles

On the roof of the 14**

Sparks would soar

 

Ref.

Just step on my toes

Bite my lips off

Bitter-sweet -- like tango

Black and red

Step on my toes

Bite my lips off

 

I'd spin with you

Pirouettes down the loops

Never to be unraveled again

We'd break windows as we go

The city would run out of glass

 

We'd cling onto the handles

On the roof of the 14

Sparks would soar

 

Ref.

 

Face to face, it's too early to bow out

All of it should be repeated once more

Look me in the eyes, look at me...

 

Ref.

 

 

 

Spoiler

Notes:

* - a railway bridge in Zagreb, colloquially named after someone's graffiti

** - a tram-line in Zagreb

@Dnl

Do I need to change the application if the selected song was released only a few months ago?

Hi @Illya, yes the Open Contest rules state that songs from the last 5 years are not permitted, so specifically the cut-off date for this contest is Dec 31 2016. The song can come from any time before that :yes

HARDKISS - "Stones" 

Lyrics : 

Long ago wisemen were.
Walking through a desert over there.
They were running away from this world.

Long ago wisemen truly found.
That indeed our planet is round.
And there's no way to run away.

And they turned into stones.
Silent observers of the world.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

Ever since time has passed.
Through the years, through the north and west.
They were looking at us out of the sand.

People were falling in love again.
People were fighting till the end.
And the wisemen were keeping the secret from us.

And they turned into stones.
Silent observers of the world.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.

It's time to gather stones.
It's time to figure out this world alone.
Catch this fire that's coming out of stones.
