The island in the video symbolizes Greece, Corfu to be exact. That's where the Serbians retreated in WW1 in a seemingly hopeless situation, being chased to be finished off by Axis forces (like Austria Hungary and flanked by Bulgaria, who wanted a piece of the spoils). Greece took the Serbians in, gave them food, shelter, water... Many died upon arrival and had to be ''buried'' in the sea surrounding Corfu, since there wasn't space left. Absolutely hauntingly beautiful message and ode to one's ancestors who faced near impossible odds. There is even a museum in Corfu with lots of memorabilia from that period.
Damn, that is a strong narrative.. Thank you so much for enlightening me, I really appreciating getting to know your national history better.
@@esc.norway You're very welcome. This is one of those songs where it helps to know some backstory to appreciate it more. Also, WW1 was never started by Serbia, Austria Hungary already had their eyes set on occupying the region completely. Many powers from that time already had colonies but AH couldn't cash in on that fully, so the only option left was the Balkans since it was nearest and the weakest target. A man from occupied Bosnia who was only ethnically Serbian shot at the archduke, hoping it will destabilize their grasp and get freedom/leeway for the people. So, his motives could be up to interpretation, but it's a fact that this was used as an excuse to further oppress a smaller nation. Who was already recovering from expelling Ottomans from the region and had zero interest in further conflict, let alone deal with a whole WW1...
@@Asdsfdsf Axis powers were in WW2,in WW1 they were called Central Powers.
This purple dream is Eurovision winning material - not only because a ballad will absolutely stand out at Eurovision this year, but also because it represents the spirit of its country in a way that makes me shiver in front of this mesmerizing beauty!💜🪻🇷🇸 I do understand the profound meaning because I am half Croatian, but even if we don't look at borders and nations, "Ramonda" is a haunting mélange of velvety melancholia, spectral grace and deepest emotions! And there couldn't be a more suitable voice to share this multi-layered message with the entire world: Teya Dora is not only a heartwarming human being and exceptionally gifted artist, but has the ability to seduce the masses with a voice out of this world. Vocals and songs don't always need to be loud and sharp to cast a spell over the universe, and in this case a dark lullaby is predestined to make this world a better place. Ramonda only needs one drop of water to rise from the dead - and if we look at the current state of our world, a sweet masterpiece like this has never been more necessary than now. Like the flower itself, "Ramonda" grows and grows and grows with every single listen, its putting me in a trance at night and day, and I'm already sure that Teya's magic will heal all the suffering in the world in May. This entry fulfills me on the deepest possible level and it speaks to my soul as if it was born within me!💜🪻✨️🌙
Koji topli i predivni komentar.
I absolutely love how intelligent, wise, cultured and kind you are. It's rare seeing such people in the present age and you are very appreciated. 💜
Wow, thank you so much Timi
My thoughts too👍👍
Sooooo trueeeee❤
Thanks from Serbia
This is gonna be the best music video on the eurovision channel, like this is out of this world 😱😱😱😱
Thank you for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
By far the best comment and reaction to this musical masterpiece by our Teya Dora...thanks for this...greetings from Belgrade 👑😎❤
Thank you! Appreciate it🙏🏼🌺
❤
❤❤@@esc.norway
This is the best Serbian entry since Molitva for me.
A lot of people says it's "too boring & slow for Eurovision", but in my opinion we need atleast 1 of song in this style every year.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
She does much better live on stage then in this video
Apsolutelly
Just imagine how the performance will look like on the much larger Swedish stage. This wasnt even performed in Stark Arena, mostly the small RTS studio, hence why there was no live audience.
Agreed
"The Light Shines in the Darkness, and the Darkness can never extinguish it." is the fifth verse in the first chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Bible.
To me, the choice of that verse has two meanings. It directly related to the message of the song about perseverance, and the other is a deep cut about the Serbian soldiers of WW1.
The islands in the opening of the MV represent Corfu, where the remaining Serbian army and government went in exile after the fall of the Balkan front in the early days of WW1. Before landing on Corfu, they had to go through the Albanian mountains during winter (Albanian Golgotha), which resulted in the death of thousands of soldiers before they even saw the shores due to starvation, diseases, and the cold. Many would also later die at Corfu due to this trek and their bodies would be layered to rest in the surrounding sea. The poem of Milutin Bojic called Plava Grobnica (The Blue Tomb), explains this event in perfect detail. The poem has extra gravitas when you listen to the reciting from Dragan Nikolic, famous Serbian and Yugoslav actor.
Teya I believe indirectly references this poem through the Bible verse as these places are sacred grounds, places of spiritual importance, as most memorial cemeteries are. This is where soldiers, heroes, the light of an entire nation are laid to rest, in the deep dark ocean depths.
The choice of the island as the place where Lila Ramonda rises is also important, as its on Corfu where the Kingdom of Serbia persevered, and its from there that they would plan the eventual liberation of their homeland through the Salonika front.
Such a small detail adding that verse in the beginning. So much symbolism and details can be extracted by that choice, when and where it is used.
Thank you so much for enlightening me!
Don’t know if you know this, but greek fisherman don’t cath fish there out of the deepest respect 🥺
Video is completely CGI. Teya Dora said that in the interview. She was only standing on the blue screen.
Thank you for a nice reaction, greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤️
Thank you for enlightening me, appreciate it! And that is impressive CGI!
You are so sweet!
Love for Norway from Croatia!
12 pts from Croatia to Serbia!
Love to Norway! 🇳🇴♥️🇷🇸♥️🇭🇷
"I enjoy seeing her sad." - Maria 2024.
hahahaha, dammit🤣
It is not the landscape of Serbia, but computer-generated rocks and darkness as an association of hopelessness and difficult conditions, despite which Ramonda still lives. 🪻 Well done for knowing the history of Serbia and deeply understanding the meaning of this beautiful song!
Thank you for enlightening me, and for the kind remarks, appreciate it!
Great reaction! Feel the same❤ Happy you told the story behind the song. Serbia did the right choice in my opinion. Love this so much
Thank you so much! Love from Serbia🇷🇸💜💜💜
My pleasure🌺🥰
Thank you for your profound review of Teodora's song, I have enjoyed listening to it. We are proud of our choice this year❤
Thank you for sharing your opinion and kind remarks, appreciate it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I totaly agree with you!
From Belgrade,Serbia!!!!❤
❤️❤️
By repeating of 'Ramonda' she calls out for Ramonda to appear..
You can see in the video how she is looking for a 'guiding star' (called Danizza) to show her the way out to salvation.
The message can apply to all of us, to rise from every suffering and difficult life period and turn our weakness into strength, just as the Serbian people experienced recovery after great human losses during the WW1.
Thank you for enlightening me, appreciate it!
Ramonda is top 1 💜🌸💜
So nice that you researched the song the sense the deeper meaning while listening and reacting :)
Thank you
Winner 2024 what more can I say? It’s just perfection I knew it by heart she is the winner cuz of her viral TikTok music of dzanum Teya D annihilated me emotionally and musically.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
Thx so much for reaction and sharing information about the song and artist
My pleasure
Great..you explained everything lovely.. congrats and regards from Serbia
Amazing video 🌸 Thank you for this beautiful reaction 🌸
My pleasure, thank you for your kind remarks
Very beautiful music video and song with a very powerful message
Agreed
If I am not mistaken, the island at the beginning represents the Greek island Korfu where whole Serbian military including the king went into exile before they got support from the allies and fought back for our freedom. The sea was unfortunately the tomb for many who died on this journey, thus “everything is quite like under the water” verse.
Thank you for letting viewers know the meaning before playing the song; great job!
Thank you for enlightening us and for the kind words, really appreciate it!
Du gjorde en så bra tolkning av sången och budskapet, bravo!
Tack så mycke!
Finally someone who react, and actually search the meaning of the song! I love it! 💜 Also, the song is pure magic! 🥹
Thank you for sharing your opinion and for your compliment, appreciate it!
The song that you mentoined"Džanum"
it pronaunces Janum. It means 'my soul' sth like "Habibi" in arabian.. or "Honey" or 'Dear'.. etc
🙂
Ah "Habibi", that the word that comes a lot in last year's PZE runner-up, Princ "Cvet sa Istoka".
We very proud🥰Teya Dora is amazing singer with powerful voice👏👏👏👏Welcome to Seebia Eurosong 2025❤
Understandable, and happy to hear it!
Beautiful analysis of Teya Doras career, background and the meaning of the song. I am from an ex Yugoslavian country and closely am watching PZE every year. I must admit she is very strong representative for Serbia this year, really looking forward seeing her on the big stage. Dzanum was a huge hit of her that she did it as soundtrack for “Juzni Vetar” a movie across the the Ex-Yu.
Btw, the official video for Ramunda it’s green/blue screen. It’s not unfortunately a location in Serbia. ✌🏼
Thank you Manuel! For the feedback and for sharing your opinion, and giving us tips. appreciate it!
I love your reaction, you are beautiful and great person 💜💜💜
Thank you for your kind words, I'll take them to my heart
Thank you for this wonderful review ❤️
My sincere pleasure
Ramonda is the national flower but it's a metaphorical use here.. It's about introvert person, suffering loneliness and depression. And all dark thoughts she has... And the end of the song is that there is a hope.. No matter how low chances she has
Thank you for sharing your opinion Jelena, appreciate it!
I love that you gave the audience the background about the flower and the multi-dimensional symbolism (which I haven't heard from some other reviewers, lol), and I love how you analyze the video also. I am Serbian, but that is not why I like this song, the song is truly a masterpiece (as well as the video)! Hope never dies. Always believe in yourself, take care of yourself and others. Make love, not war. ❤
Thank you for your kind comment Jassica, appreciate it🙏🏼❤️
I really love you interpretation. 💜
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
What a dedication!! Great job! Thanks
Go Teya! My winner!
Thank you
We love youuuuu ❤❤❤
I would like to hear your honest reaction of her wonder hit song with over 130 million views called Dzanum but it's pronounced Djanum. Thanks for the reaction.
Thanks for the tip, we will consider it!
You are apsolutely right there is a respect she showed artistic musical expiriance of great battle and enormous saffering of serbian soldiers in WWI I always cry when I listen this song because my greatgrandfather was among them and he survived,they have to cross mountains in Albania weather was cold they were without food and equipment about 5000 soldiers died and survivers throwe dead soldiers to sea
❤❤❤❤❤
You are a beautiful intelligent lady. You have a sincere heart! Thank you for your comments. Greetings from Serbia.
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Appreciate your kind words and you- you have a sincere heart as well🫶🏻❤️
@@esc.norway May luck follow you. God bless you!
Dzanum, dz to be pronounced like John (J), it is from Persian or Turkish, hope you checked that song too. Means something like my dear, my soul, she's telling her woes to someine
Thank you for sharing, appreciate it!
💜🌺
"Dzanum'
Nobody wants my soul
Not for anything in the world
To try and heal my wound
Nobody wants my soul
[Verse]
As the night falls, the same dream comes back
Standing before me is a saint holding black linen
That voice is calling me into the grey sea
I have no luck, there's no salvation for me (There's no salvation for me)
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody wants my soul, nobody wants my pain
To get moved by my tears and for me to surrender to them
Nobody wants my soul, nobody wants my pain
On my pillow, restlessly, I dream of evil
[Chorus]
Till the end of time, till the world ends
My fate is cursed
This soul has no home, this soul has no tone
Candles of a black dawn are burning, my nightmares
[Post-Chorus]
My nightmares, my nightmares
My nightmares, my nightmares
My nightmares, my nightmares
My nightmares, my nightmares
[Chorus]
Till the end of time, till the world ends
My fate is cursed
My nightmares, my nightmares
My nightmares
[Outro]
Nobody wants my soul
Not for anything in the world
To try and heal my wound
Nobody wants my soul

Massage of hope, exactly ✨

Please react on Teya Dora's live performance of this song
We have👍🏽☺️
Winner! 💜
For those who (perhaps) don't know, the ramonda is our endemic flower species (Ramonda Serbica) and a symbol of the suffering of the Serbs in World War I against Austria-Hungary, i.e. Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) and the final victory. Ramonda is a symbol of Serbia, victory, rebirth and eternity. It is also called the phoenix flower, because it is specific in that it can dry up, and only one drop of water is enough to revive it completely. It was discovered by Josif Pancic in 1874, on Mount Rtanj, near Sokobanja. The song of Teye Dora has strong symbolism, good music with traditional (Byzantine and Serbian) elements, arrangement and text, and in the text I especially like the (Serbian) motifs of the star Danica and Ramonda, as well as the beginning, whose rhythmicity and parallelism are very they remind us of our folk (oral) literature. Not to mention her voice. PS. Armistice Day is a non-working day in Serbia, and it is also celebrated in Great Britain, Belgium, New Zealand and France, while it is "Remembrance Day" in the countries of the British Commonwealth, and "Veterans Day" in the USA.
Thank you so much for enlightening me
So this is what is currently happening in Serbia: the hate Teya Dora is currently getting in Serbia is wild (people are mad that she didn't won the televote therefore she's not the people's choice, folks wanted Breskvica instead because they claim her song was more patriotic and ethnic than Ramonda, which to me is complete BS. Juries ranked Ramonda 1st and Gnezdo Orlovo 6th btw.
This is a perfect example that juries (sometimes) are important.
In conclusion: easy left side of the scoreboard in the final for Serbia.
I know, these last day, I am doing my best to stand up for Teya, commenting as much as I can, Teya got my vote, would never vote for Breskvica, these fans of Breskvic are really crazy🤦♀️
And it's not like Teya got 1 or 2 points from the public, she got 10. If Zorja and Konstrakta wouldn't have been there, she would have gotten her votes as well and would have had 12 points.These people are the same who thought that Sanja was participating with Cha Cha Cha 😭. They don't even watch eurovision, they don't know what it's about. Every year it's the same circus.
Breskvica was heavily promoted by the ruling party and their army of bot people, its their kind of brand of nationalism being shoved in a song contest. There is a lot of evidence of voter fraud being done, where people would pay others 20 bucks to vote for Breskvica, the same kinda tactic SNS used in the recent elections that the European parliament is currently investigating and why Belgrade elections will be held again. Breskvica was also promoted on state supported media, which are also the ones currently bashing Teya Doras win saying she is some sort of satanist, ustasha, gay lobby or whatever insult far right nutcases use to discredit someone that they want to silence, cause they think they have the only right to shape what Serbia needs to be like. Those type of people know patriotism only as a word, but do not know what it is, cause if they did they would know what Ramonda means to the Serb people.
There is also Breskvica fans themselves, mostly juveniles that never even watched Eurovision, ignorant kids who barely know anything but are hyped up on SNS fake nationalism, as well as simping for their favorite singer, no matter the quality of her song and performance. You can easily tell they are kids due to the type of comments they post. They even constantly spammed the PZE livestream chat, even second semis where Breskvica wasnt performing asking "when is Breskvica up", completely ignorant to the entire contest, just there to be mindless drones for her.
For these reasons and many more I am glad that Teya won, literal real life perseverance over hardship and against the darkness of ignorance that has plague Serbia politically and ideologically for over a decade.
Please watch Teya's breakthrough song Dzanum with over 75 million RUclips views. It was a world wide viral TikTok sensation last year. You'll love it too ❤
Thanks for the tip! Appreciate it!
Ramonda serbica is a serbian symbolic flower after WW1 like the british poppy!
For me one the greatest ESC songs ever....i love it🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤️
Read about the isle Vido....many, many Serbs are burried their in the sea in WW1!
❤️❤️
Here is the translation. Hopefully, I managed to make the lyrics rhyme, but to stay faithfull to the original.
RAMONDA 🌸
" There's no, there's no peace for me
Restless, sleepless with no dreams
Night forbids the dawn to come
Hardest for the lonesome
Underwater, silent and bound
I scream but i can't make a sound
Above the hills there is a light
But with no end in sight
Only wounded can walk this path
There's no guide to take me far
Into brightnes of the Morning star
World in flames
Flowers burned away
Where've they gone from us?
Lilac Ramondas
Lilac Ramonda x8
There's no guide to take on me
The stars are gone, they fell asleep
Even prayers wouldn't console me
Where've they gone from us?
Lilac Radmondas
Lilac Ramonda x8
From the ashes rising high...
Just one Lilac Ramonda. "

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I really appreciate it!
I mean, to be fair, I don’t remember when Serbian female singers were that “cute” stereotypically
If you look at Konstrakta, she’s sitting there washing her hands and doesn’t give a f*ck😂
I would say the last time there was something like that is when Tajci performed and I think that was still Yugoslavia back then
please respond to the video "Dzanum" teya dora....the video was created when there was a Amok in an elementary school in Serbia and 2 days later another massacre in a small town in Serbia...the song talks about all the terrible massacres and wars which have been happening since ancient times until now and in the future. .. about constant evil in the whole world ... be sure to find the translation of the song in English
We have!😃
5:31 It's not landscape in Serbia. It's a 3D model. But, we have all sorts of landscapes, even like this one. Serbian lands are diverse.
The island in the video symbolizes Greece, Corfu to be exact.
Thank you for enlightening me!
Pls reacton on video "Dzanum " 🙏⚘️😪😪😪😪😪

The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never exstinguish it - Gospel of John 1:5 :)
The sea you see on the video and her wet hair represents Serbian soldiers who died of starvation after retreating through Albania in WW1 and were buried by being thrown into the sea near the Greek island of Corfu. To this day we call that place "The Blue Tomb". Dead soldiers were buried that way because there was not enough space on the island to dig all the graves. You can find all the info on that on the internet. Ramonda represents the recovery of the survivors as vell as the victory and liberation afterwards.
That is such a strong symbolism and meaning.. I did not know about this before this song appeared, and as a history nerd I really appreciate you enlightening me. Thank you for sharing a profound and tragic/hopeful part of your national story and narrative. It means a lot.
@@esc.norway Yes, the song has a deep meaning to it and and honestly we did not expect anything like that 😁 I am glad you like the song ❤️
Otherwise, all shots were shot in the studio.
Great song, but for me Zorja is number 1. I hope that Teya Dora will have a good ranking.
It's better Zorja.
I dont know. Its nice, Its depressing. Pushing this deeper message too hard and I dont feel it. I guess its fine but I rooted for Zorja and Hristina.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
I gotta be honest I dont like this song. Its just a bit boring to me. No disrespect to Serbia or Teya Dora this is just not for me. I dont want to be too negative so I have to say that I like your norwegian accent. Its very nice and your voice is very soothing ❤
Haha, no worries Brynjar! All opinions are welcome here!
@@esc.norway I feel like the eurovision fandom is pretty toxic. If you dont like a popular song you get so much hate. This channel feels like a safe place.
Bored!
And thats okay..This year you have aaa lot of generic upbeat songs so you can listen. But this mesmerizing masterpiece will be recognized :)
Thank you for sharing your opinion, appreciate it!
Its serious its respectful its profound💜Thank you
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💗💗💗💗👄👄👄
❤️❤️❤️
Zorja have a very good voice i love it, but i think we need these emotions what Teya make. I am Serbian and i didn't know what's mean lila ramonda so i had to search as well... It's reborning. I never heard abaut Teya befor Eurovision, but last 5 days its repeating in my mind again and again...i searched abaut her and i found she became a scholar at the Berklee College of Music in Boston , where she studied singing. In college, she was in a generation with Charlie Puth . She has sung backing vocals for American artists. She know how to go deep inside you and to make some deep flash in emotions. it's a story for a long way. it's abaut hope for everyone of us.I beleave she will make much better performance and it will blow our souls. Fenix flower 💜🌟🪻
