The Bosnian singer and producer Dino Merlin who represented his country twice in the Eurovision Song Contest, released an emotional ballad with the title ”Jedan dan, jedna noć” (”One day, one night”).

Jedan dan, jedna noć is Dino Merlin’s third song within the last six months, his previously published songs “Mi” and “Dođi” have already received 30 million views to date. Dino said about his new song:

“Dear friends, I bring you a new song – a song that has a special place in my heart, just like the true event that inspired me to write it. This is a story about love that never stops”.

“I remain optimistic and hope that after the time that is behind us, we will be better towards each other, and that we will continue on guarding those cosmic forces that connect us all under this common sky.”

Dino also mentioned that if you really consider the lyrics, you will find a deeper meaning behind them. ”Jedan Dan, Jedna Noć” also draws attention to how important it is to live in the moment and keep reliving memories from your life, because people are not “turtles or stars, so they can live for many centuries.“

Here are the translated lyrics of ”Jedan dan, jedna noć”:

Our story consists
Of all those unspoken words
The pain you caused, it looks good on me
Which hurts so much, meanwhile heals so
 
Give me your hand and I’ll find it
The angle at which I will see you
 
2x
They are not turtles, that they can live for centuries
 
Ref .:
But one day, one day, just one day
God, give us only a day
One night, one night, just one night
God, give us just that one night
 
You were always special
An endless reflection of glass
I feel the same way
Like the first time you touched me
They say time changes everything
But we can’t see that
 
Because people are not stars
That they can live for centuries
 
2x
Ref .:
But one day, one day, just one day
God, give us only a day
One night, one night, just one night
God, give us just that one night
