S8-E4: Molitva / Marija Šerifović

In each episode, I'll be hosting a Serbian friend to introduce one of the

most popular Serbian singers and their well-known songs.

We'll be speaking both in Serbian and English.

We hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for joining us.

Vala od sırtza!

Hello, I am Maki and here is Laki.

Welcome, Laki. How are you?

Great. How are you?

Thank you.

So, Laki and Maki, we are like a great gang, I think, together.

So, we are going to talk about the Eurovision winner, the only Eurovision winner,

I guess, from Serbia, right?

So before I tell everything in English, let's try it in Serbian first.

So, Laki, koje danas naš pevač?

Maria Šerifovic. Maria Šerifovic, yes.

I also shared the photo on the screen.

And koje vrste pešma ona peva?

Pop. Pop. Okay.

When was she popular or when was she known?

In 2007 when she was launched in Eurovision.

My opinion is that.

What is the song about which we will talk about?

Prayer. The moment I hear the song I'm like, ah, emotional, I get

emotional.

And what is that song about?

I feel like a love song about love. Ja ju doželjujem kao ljubavnu pesmu.

O ljubavi.

Šta ti se si viđa o ovoj pesmi?

Sam tekst na način na koji je Marija izvodi, odnosno peva.

I zato što svaganjina pesma nosi

neku vrstu poruke.

A, ima velike poruke.

da, ok, ajde da malo pogledamo i en tekst, da

čujemo prvo, da, ok ok,

that was the explosion part, I guess, molitva,

šta je molitva k laki na anglijskom?

Prayer. Prayer, yes.

Prayer. Prayer. Prayer.

I kaj žarno mojim usnama je?

It burns my sure lips like a fire.

Ah, yes. That's very strong, right?

Kaj žarno mojim usnama je?

Molitva. Emesto reči samo ime tvoje?

The names is something I admire.

Admire, yes. Admire.

Yes, so your name, right?

That means tvoje ime tvoje, your name.

Instead of other words, just your name.

Yes, like my prayer.

Nebozna, we had a discussion with Laki about nebo, right?

Nebo has two meanings in Serbian, I guess.

Not sky, no sky, but heaven knows just

as well as I do.

Yes, as I do.

Bravo. So nebo means also sky, but in this song, it is heaven, right?

Heaven knows like me.

Ashka, yeah.

And let's listen to that part.

She's going to have another explosion soon, I guess.

So, koliko puta sam ponovila to?

um so many times um i have

uh right i have asked or ponovila repeated

right I think

here she said I think

she just said in the song, in that part of the song.

but maybe she's gonna say molly later

yes so so

my only prayer my moya jedina molly right that's

a very strong song so did you watch that contest Eurovision in 2007?

On TV. I can see

Fantastic. Voice. And dance,

She had a very nice choreography.

Wow. Yeah. So amazing.

Not in 2007, but it looks really good.

Very strong. Okay.

all time in 2010.
