Hit of the Day – Slovenia 2008 Rebeka Dremelj – Vrag Naj Vzame

Written by Frank. Posted in Eurovision Hit of the Day, Uncategorized

This has been a favorite of ours for a long long time now, and it was an absolute travesty that they did not make it to the final in 2008 while Isis Gee did, she looked like a deep fat fried chip with bleached teeth!. Overall Slovenia finished 11th with 36 points.

Rebeka is a singer, model, fashion designer, actress and TV presenter. She came to fame when she represented Slovenia in Miss Universe 2001, she has her own brand of knickers called “Rebeka’s Dream!”

Perhaps if she didn’t go with the S&M staging and the rollerblading gimps in motorcycle helmets she might have gotten those extra 7 points needed to qualify, but it was loud, poppy, colorful and extremely gay and we love it! But Slovenia don’t let the that deter you, please send in Rebeka again it will be fabulous!

She has recorded several versions of the song, in Slovenian – which was entered into the ESC, in English it is called “Heavy Weather” – even though the song in it’s native language is “To Hell with it”. But by far the best version I have heard is “Kao Stranci” the Croatian version. So enjoy all 3 below, plus enjoy the remix with all 3 together done by a very clever internet person.

Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush

Vrag naj vzame	To hell with it
Sama na tleh, zadnja solza zate v o?eh	On the floor by myself, the last tear for you in my eyes
Brišem sledi ki jih pustil je poraz	I whipe the traces that were left behind by defeat
Ti brez besed, v trenutku si zrušil moj svet	You without words, in a moment you destroyed my world
Zdaj zbiram vse sence ljubezni da vržem ti jih v obraz	Now I’m gathering all the shadows of love to throw them in your face

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama	To hell with everything that’s between us
Tvoje slike me?em zdaj na tla	I’m throwing your pictures on the floor
Vrag naj vzame zdaj naprej grem sama	To hell with it, I’m moving on on my own
Trgam vse spomine da se ?imprej kon?a	Tearing all the memories so it’ll be over soon

Ne dovolim da še kdaj me pogledaš v o?i	I’m not letting you look me in my eyes ever again
Zdaj ve? v meni ni?esar zate ni	Now there’s nothing in me for you
Tujec si mi, ki na ulici ga ne spoznam	You’re a stranger to me, whom I don’t recognise on the street
Ko vidim te grem mimo tebe, glavo obrnem v drugo stran	When I see you, I pass you, turning my head the other way

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama	To hell with everything that’s between us
Tvoje slike me?em zdaj na tla	I’m throwing your pictures on the floor
Vrag naj vzame zdaj naprej grem sama	To hell with it, I’m moving on on my own
Trgam vse spomine da se ?imprej kon?a	Tearing all the memories so it’ll be over soon

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama	To hell with everything that’s between us
Zate solze vem da so zaman	I know tears for you are a waste
Zdaj med nama je samo še drama	Now there’s only drama between us
Ki ne bo vrnila ukradenih mi sanj	Which won’t return my stolen dreams
(Ukradenih mi sanj) Sanj	(My stolen dreams) Dreams

Zlomil si me priznam	You broke me, I admit
A grem naprej	But I’m moving on
Sama v vsak nov dan	By myself into every new day
Mo?nejša sem kot prej	I’m stronger than ever before

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama	To hell with everything that’s between us
Tvoje slike me?em zdaj na tla	I’m throwing your pictures on the floor
Vrag naj vzame zdaj naprej grem sama	To hell with it, I’m moving on on my own
Trgam vse spomine da se ?imprej kon?a	Tearing all the memories so it’ll be over soon

Vrag naj vzame vse kar je med nama	To hell with everything that’s between us
Zate solze vem da so zaman	I know tears for you are a waste
Zdaj med nama je samo še drama	Now there’s only drama between us
Ki ne bo vrnila ukradenih mi sanj	Which won’t return my stolen dreams
