    This song has inspired me immensely, so here's my translation (it's not completely literal because it rhymes, but I tried to keep the original imagery and metrics as much as possible):
    [Verse 1]
    There's no rest, no rest for me
    I am restless, I cannot sleep
    The night won't give way to dawn
    Doomed is the one who is alone.
    [Verse 2]
    It's as if underwater silence reigns
    I'm screaming, but you can't hear my pain
    Beyond the mountains the gleam is white
    Yet there's no end in sight
    'Tis the path for the wounded.
    [Pre-chorus]
    And there's no one to guide me now
    Save the bright Danica* the Morning Star
    The world's a pyre burning each flower
    Where have they evanesced, those lilac** ramondae***?
    [Chorus]
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda.
    [Pre-chorus]
    And there's no one who would guide me
    For all the stars are sound asleep
    Saying prayers is of no avail
    Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondae?
    [Chorus, break]
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda.
    [Chorus]
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    Lilac ramonda
    [Outro]
    From the ashes rises up
    a single lilac ramonda.
    * Danica is a feminine name personifying the morning star in Slavic mythology; it can be found in Serbian lyric poetry
    ** In this context, lilac is the pale purple colour, not the type of flower
    ***** The title of this song references a flower called 'Ramonda serbica' in Latin, a species endemic to Serbia. The mountain called Rtanj is the home to this flower which was discovered in 1844 by a famous Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Being a living fossil from the Tertiary period, it is capable of surviving extremely harsh conditions. Even if it is completely withered, just a few drops of water can revive it. Natalie's ramonda (Natalijina ramonda), the flower of the same genus, is very similar to 'Ramonda serbica'. It was named after Queen of Serbia Natalija Obrenović, and it is worn as an emblem on Armistice Day in Serbia. This flower, also known as the 'phoenix flower', symbolises the unprecedented suffering of the Serbian Army (during the Great Retreat) that managed to rise victoriously like a phoenix from the ashes that the World War I, in which Serbia lost one third of its population, had left behind.
    This song can be interpreted in different ways due to the universal symbolism of ramonda as the beacon of hope for people going through tough times (wars, natural disasters, disease, psychological problems, heartbreaks, etc.). According to my interpretation of the lyrics, the repetition of the line in which the lyric subject wonders where all the ramondae have disappeared represents the feeling of powerlessness and despair. However, the outro of the song reminds us that hope springs eternal. Despite all the atrocities occurring in the world, it is in human nature to never lose hope. 🙂

      @@YourCacnea Also, I think this song could and should win (even though I'd like Zorja to win as well). It is Teya Dora's live performance that will probably decide her placing. Her singing will probably have to be of the same quality or even better than the studio recording. When it comes to Konstrakta, I would not mind even if she won again if her stage performance turns out to be something unexpected as was the case last time. However, I'd like Teya or Zorja to win this time because someone else should get a chance to represent their country too. It's a little bit too early for returning contestants if you ask me but I'm sure that it is not Konstrakta's intention to go to Eurovision again like the first time when she applied for the national selection only for the purpose of self-promotion. 😂 Konstrakta is our queen no matter what. As for Breskvica, I like the song to some extent. It makes me feel something, but it doesn't captivate me at all to be honest. Also, I think it's a bit outdated and won't do that good at Eurovision even though the Serbian audience will vote for her massively, I support. She has a strong fanbase.

    Ramonda is a lilac flower that can die and come back to life if it is watered. It is Serbian simbol of WWI when Serbia lost 1/3 of population. It represents resurrection of Serbia as a nation. Begrade is destroyed 40 times and survived.

    I am an Irish, having Serbian friends.. Ramonda is a national flower(fenix flower) , but only with symbolic meaning here.. This is a kind of lullaby for a lonely and depressed person, spending nights in her black thoughts with no sleeping, with no one to hear her.. And every morning she still finds a reason to try again and give a chance to new day

    The title of this song references a flower known by its latin name "Ramonda serbica", an endemic species that only grows in serbia, which is known for its ability to completely dry out and still revive once it gets water, a flower that can straight up come back from undead. Very similar to Ramonda Serbica is Natalie's Ramonda, flower of the same genus, In Serbia it's known as "Natalijina ramonda" named after the XIX century Serbian queen Natalija Obrenović and it's used as a symbol of peace after WWI. In Serbia, to mark this day we wear a phoenix flower - Natalie's Ramonda, capable of resurrection, just as Serbia after WWI, in which it lost almost 1/3 of people. 🌸🌸🌸

    It feels like people forgot how to enjoy emotions in music. Not every song need building, some songs are just magical. And they are special for that, and popular in the world. And yes, that's not lullaby, that's suffering. I recommend when you people try to react on some songs, get the meaning first.

    LILA RAMONDA (A flower of hope)
    Neither peace nor dream I have.
    Night doesn't let day break into dawn.
    it is woe to one who is alone.
    Like under water, over my screams prevailing silence.
    Beyond the Mountains white glow,
    no end looming.
    This path is paved for the wounded.
    No one to lead me to the bright Morning Star, Danica.
    The world is set on fire,
    every flower.
    Where were they gone,Lila Ramonde?
    Lila Ramonda
    Lila Ramonda
    Ramonda
    Lila Ramonda
    There is no one to guide me
    for all the stars fell asleep.
    Neither do prayers help
    Where were they gone, Lila Ramonde?
    Lila Ramonda
    Lila Ramonda
    Ramonda
    Lila Ramonda
    Out of ashes it rises,
    one Lila Ramonda.

    Maybe this song is slow, boring, but in magical way🙂
    By the way, in this context, how do you explain 'the victory' of the Portugalian guy several years ago-slow, boring,
    because it have been mistery for many of us..

She did have a viral song, but that doesn't mean anything in terms of the success of this one.
