Prisluhni mi - Slovenia 1995 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@DavorOkroznik]

Anyone else listening to this in 2024? :)

[@aleksandrazrimsek5211]

jaaa, to better my taste after watching the '24 sh*tshow :D 1995 was the best ESC year, with too many incredible songs - my favorite of all time was Cyprus - Sti Fotia (what a masterpiece - I was in love with that song), Spain was incredible, Norway - the winner - was magic .. and our Darja ... all these songs still give me goosebumps. This was the best year and after this contest, I stopped following Eurovision because I knew that something like this could never happen again. Only Loreen many years after proved me wrong with Euphoria and I'd be happy if more musicians would.

[@xander2609]

I'm glad to see more people appreciate this masterpiece. Time passes by but every time I listen to it, I'm still amazed, like if it were the first time

[@richardpeter3519]

For me this was the winner. I think if there was a public voting at that time, this song and her voice would have won. It’s just perfect! ❤❤❤

[@xander2609]

Words are not enough to describe the love I feel for this song. I love the sweet melody, the endearing aura, the singer's voice... Everything fits perfectly. Undoubtedly, Darja is one of the best artists to ever step on the Eurovision stage. For me, this will always be the rightful winner of Eurovision 1995. It's also my favourite Slovenian entry to this day, and one of my 5 favourite Eurovision songs ever! All slovenians should be really proud of this beautiful contribution to the contest. It saddens me that it didn't even make the top 5. Hopefully, Slovenia will start to get the justice it deserves in the near future. Love from Spain 🇪🇦❤️🇸🇮

[@aleksandrazrimsek5211]

1995 was the strongest year with the most incredible songs ever heard at the ESC. If she competed in any other year, she might have even won, but it was really hard to compete with Spain, Norway, Cyprus, and other incredible entries that year. I was listening to the VHS tape of this Eurovision for years and it was really something special. Darja was incredible and is still my favorite Slovenian entry at the ESC, although I love this year's Veronika of Raiven too. Best year

[@Amthaus2600]

This was one of the few songs that should have been winner. The other songs were Crostia, Spain, Ireland and Israel. The Norwegian winner is now forgotten, but these songs remain dear to our hearts.❤

[@Amthaus2600]

Yugoslavia produced powerful entries in the Golden Years. These were 1965, 1966 (Brez Besed), 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1989. Berta Ambroz's Ballad remains a favourite even today❤.

[@klarinetta]

We don't get good songs like this in Eurovision any more :(

[@gg454lune]

I still can't understand why Slovenia never got a top 5.

[@macak76]

23 YEARS passed… Still OUTSTANDING!

[@sebastjanbergant413]

Darja is great, wow what a woice

[@dramaticScar]

Just when you thought the 90s eurovision couldn't impress you any further BOOM SLOVENIA 1995

[@nomennescio1523]

Fabulous voice of Darja in fabolous song.... Magical performance even in 2023!

[@jesperhjellnes5861]

Absolutely amazing. The song, her voice, the performance. This should have been in the top 3! Slovenia has sent so many beautiful songs to ESC, this is one of them!

[@tommygeoghegan198]

Has to be one of the best songs EVER in eurovision history!

[@Maya89Original]

I'm so honored that people that don't understand our languange appreciate this song :) :) It is truly he most beautiful song.

[@jchdhc]

Amazing song indeed. Beautiful singer. A winner

[@stevenfaller2491]

I’m From Scotland and I think this is one of the most beautiful songs that has ever been entered into the ESC. What a voice what a song ❤️

[@alphabibo]

yes, its my favourite eurovision song!! mesmerising!

[@pierviniciobertagna755]

La Slovenia è un Paridiso incredibile, e questo si rispecchia anche nella musica dopo tutto.

[@koksy]

I'm English and this is my fave Eurovision song ever too!

[@majormarco]

The RTE orchestra was on fire that night, especially with the Spanish and Slovenian entries.

[@brandosarto9360]

FR, I loved those songs from the first time, and the wonderful orchestra did a very great job with the two ones.

[@aranmcdonagh255]

Kinda interesting that the best years of RTE were also our best entries, now its plagued by corruption so many important positions for quality sound and filming are neglected to overpay big names

[@JeSuisRene]

Good on the United Kingdom and Greece for giving this lovely song 10 points. (Greece particularly, who gave more points to this than to Cyprus!)

[@denisdess4245]

To this day, still my favourite entry, that we ever send on eurovision!

[@andreasavraamides7163]

Very melodic song, I love it. 12 points from Cyprus ❤

[@coeurdevoyage]

One of my Eurovision all time favorites! The times when it was still about singing and music and not about the aerobics :-P This is simply beautiful, even if I can't fully understand it - I loved the times when everybody would sing in their country language!

[@brandosarto9360]

You're right, it's terrible seeing how the native languages are always more hard to find in the eurovision entries nowadays!!

[@ΑΣΤΕΡΙΟΣΤΡΙΚ]

It seems like a song from a fairytale. Just dazzling and alluring

[@adirsantos5541]

I don't understand a single word but in my opinion it's the very most beautiful song I've ever heard on Eurovision contests. Never forgot it. Slovenia should have won but it's still my personal opinion. I do love this song and her performance. BRAVO 👏👏👏

[@gonzo77ffm]

Outstanding entry with a high class singer and a beautiful melody

[@esterherschkovich6499]

Even if I do not understand the language..I wish Eurovisionwas live and everyone sung in their own language😊💐💐.again...no gimmicks just talent..

[@fransin]

My fav song of all times. Love from Spain

[@primozhribar4410]

Perfektno odpeto. To je to. Celo 1X so poslali na evrovizijo za moje pojme the best vokal. 👍

[@GM-hf7vk]

Should have won .Amazing amazing

[@sverrevesterhus5567]

An amazing entry. And that she sings in her mother tongue makes it even better.

[@matej5978]

Še vedno klasa.

[@andreash4413]

This is the best Slovene entry in Eurovision history. What a beautiful melody, what a voice. And the orchestra did a great job too. I had the privilege to get to know Darja in Vienna. A very likeable lady. Moreover, she speaks perfect German. Definitely one of the Slovene stars. In 1995, some other countries sent their best entries ever, too. For example Sweden, Spain and Croatia.

[@wackomagneto3009]

12 points to Slovenia! From Croatia....

[@EurovisionSlovenia]

@@wackomagneto3009 🇸🇮❤️🇭🇷

[@sverrevesterhus5567]

I have always loved this song. And the language makes it even better..

[@Angelos-Philip.M]

she deserved to win that year..a wonderful song..she would take 12.000.000 points from me..greetings from Greece..

[@j.t.5178]

Definitely deserved top 5 that year.

[@Tenortalker]

A gorgeous song outstandingly sung!

[@j.t.5178]

Such a wonderful entry! One of my favorites for 1995. If she had gotten just one more douze point, she would have reached top 5. I'm not sure if she would have won if it was in English. It was a pretty strong year and Norway pretty much nailed it. I'm just surprised Croatia only gave Slovenia 2 points. It is absolutely one of the best Slovene entries.

[@Euroviking86]

She actually didn't get a single douze! Shocking, I know :/

[@timoherrmann2818]

Beautiful, great voice!

[@s.leochapman417]

Eurovision 1995 (like 1991) had a lot of great songs and performances! This one is gorgeous, just like Spain, Denmark and of course winning Norway that year. Love it!

[@ericharrison3405]

A classic.

[@silencestation557]

Breathtakingly beautiful.

[@dariodelpesomartinez7069]

Wonderful 🇪🇸♥️🇸🇮

[@minasthess]

One of the best songs from that ESC

[@PrincessLockette]

so happy that this song made it into the top 10 in 1995 :)

[@JeSuisRene]

Well Terry Wogan said that it was the second favourite behind Sweden, with the bookies. This truly is a beautiful song, and I do believe this deserved top 5

[@gatienmignot545]

J'adore ! From France 🇨🇵

[@billyflynn2]

classic eurovision ballad. Brilliant!

[@mehmed93]

it truly is

[@obi234]

Lyrics translated to English: Listen to Me (Prisluhni mi) Listen to me, embrace and look at me Trust me when the night hides you Admit that you too Would kiss the sun and dream You are in me, you're with me in the wind Now, only your voice is waking up You're woven into a ray You're like a night, a touch of stars You hide, glimmering in me (Chorus) Let's trust that there is just one sky You are in it, my traces are within you Let's confess what is within us Everything is a verse, everything is a touch of love We plead for time Paths, moments of joy We plea for this night This dream of eternity In it are you and me (Chorus) Let's trust that there is just one sky You are in it, my traces are within you Let's confess what is within us Everything is a verse, everything is a touch of love Everything is a verse, everything is a touch of love

[@francois-josesoudrain1122]

Darja Svajger is one of the best slovenian singers. This was the title to win in 95. With the Katrinas,Alenka Godec...Slovenia has got top voices !!

[@mattbaker6656]

I first found Eurovision in 2006 and I started to look back at past contests and this song was one of the first entries I loved from the first play, just simple, beautiful and truly an amazing entry and only the 2nd song that Slovenia has sent to Eurovision.

[@l.hasenhausen8626]

A great voice! A soundful melody!

[@Nikicastipica]

Superb arrangement of this song! Thanks for uploading :)

[@vanjasmudformerlyknownasma6813]

She is a MIRACLE!

[@veronikakremzar]

❤

[@jugokiss660]

This is the best vocal and song.

[@JuvatVivere]

It was the clear favourite to win before the festival. I think this is as good as the norwegian entry, and no doubt best eslovenian participant ever. I guess the dark staging didn't help her. Love Darja!

[@JeSuisRene]

Terry Wogan said this was the second favourite with the bookies, behind Sweden.

[@lindakristinekjlibraten757]

I was sure this was going to win after the first listening. So timeless and beautiful. Love from Norway.

[@plubisplish4918]

Amazing 😉

[@jutjubow]

It is a very pretty song that has something to it that makes me think about fairytales, but Poland was even better and definitely more unique that year.

[@avonatossi1659]

Darja,I love this song,its like one person saying:" Trust me,nothing bad nothing good ,just LOVE.!

[@florazabeli4875]

Perfection!!!

[@sebastjanbergant413]

This is pure sex❤️ love you Darja

[@federicorosso1889]

So great! 😊

[@79Paulie]

Oh how I adored this song ! Best Slovenian entry ever 97s a close second , really should of won instead of that cheating Norway that year ! I also loved Turkey Denmark Israel Spain and Sweden that year xx

[@jesperhjellnes5861]

Cheating? Oh dear xD

[@lucalombardi5066]

I loved both songs almost equally, being original doesn't mean cheating

[@christinaokoye9012]

Cheating? Not exactly, but Slovenia AND Spain were even BETTER than Norway that year.

[@79Paulie]

Never been able to forgive Norway 🇳🇴 for 95 ….

[@hukuk2004]

This entry was favourite at the bettings that year. But couldn't succeed getting a degree even in top five.

[@jonothanjones]

Flawless ❤

[@zoranmitrovic9254]

THE GREATEST DARJA SVAJGER!!! BRAVISSIMA !

[@abrahansaezsanchez9191]

La mejor canción de Eslovenia hasta el momento,junto con la de 1999,con la misma intérprete,una gran voz con una hermosa balada.

[@MmeKastaffiore]

La de 1999 es bastante mediocre comparada con esta.

[@herrprofessor]

A mí me recuerda bastante a una banda sonora de Disney o a la mismísima Barbra Streisand.

[@graham4006]

this song could should have won. ...it was certainly in a league of its own. ....if it had been sung in English that would have most likely clinched it. ...draconian ....but true. ...

[@andymar9117]

Amazing

[@undencem]

Nice sound , amazing performance. Hi from Great Türkiye🇹🇷 to Slovenia🇸🇮 . 12 points

Superb Excellance from Slovenia!!! BRAVO DARJA !!!

[@herrprofessor]

The Slovenian Barbra Streisand.

[@o-b-1]

Should have won

[@roelverheggen7768]

WOW !!

[@bogdanpecar409]

For me one of Best EV ever

[@barbyzupancic]

If this was Ireland, Great Britain or Sweden that song would have won.

[@djbillybopdjbillybop2817]

FFS are you for Real if that was the case why did Ireland Sweden or the UK Not win if a song is good enough except for some of the crap today it should win.

[@intros3]

I'm usually modest, and I rarely think that Slovenia deserves a better ranking, but that Darja was only 7th with this song? Unfair considering who won that year. Not that the Norwegian wining song is bad, but I don't know in which part it is better than the Slovenian one? Certainly not in singing :)

[@cupcakefairy87]

Doesn't the melody of this song sound a lot like Gloria Estefan's 'Anything For You?'

[@Wim2600]

Absolutely- I think that’s part of the reason I liked it so much. 🥰

[@raduionescu9765]

LET'S UNDERSTAND AND BE SURE THAT GOD SEES HEARS HE KNOWS AND CONTROLS EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE THAT HE CREATED AND LEADS HIM FOR ETERNITY.

[@jsch9173]

Hated the winner that year! One of the most overrated "songs" in Eurovision history. My top three for 1995: Spain; Denmark; and Slovenia, in that order. This is a ballad for people who hate ballads. Wonderful song and performance!

[@JeSuisRene]

JSch917 I’ve grown to really like the Norwegian entry, though it shouldn’t have won. my top 10 are as follows 1p. Denmark 🇩🇰 2p. Austria 🇦🇹 3p. Sweden 🇸🇪 4p. Malta 🇲🇹 5p. Croatia 🇭🇷 6p. Slovenia 🇸🇮 7p. France 🇫🇷 8p. Norway 🇳🇴 10p. Israel 🇮🇱 12p. Spain 🇪🇸

[@s.leochapman417]

Personally, I do appreciate the winning song from Norway, but your '95 top five would also be mine. Love those three. 👌🏻

[@alejandroeg6504]

Much better than Nocturne

[@davidkasquare]

What are the lyrics about?

[@mbrt777]

Hear me out, look at me embraced Trust me, when the night hides you in itself Avow that you would kiss the sun as well, and that you'd dream You are within me, escort in the wind Your own voice is awakening You're vowen silently into the ray Like the night you are, a starry touch You hide, slowly burning within me Let's trust that the sky is one And you're in it, and within you imprints of me Let's admit what we carry in our hearts Everything's a verse, everything is love's touch We pray for time, for paths, moments of happiness As them, we are given this night This dream of eternity And us in it Let's trust that the sky is one...

[@cybermom77]

The lyrics are very poetic, full of figurative expressions, so the literal translation makes no sense. But basically she is singing to her lover about her love for him and their future together.

[@enekom3030]

@@mbrt777 thank you for the translation

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Pas mal

[@markr002]

I never got the hype over this one. And talk about no stage presence.
