POKUŠAJ (ENGLISH VERSION)

(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Rek’o mi je pjevač Laka)
(Ne klepeći nanulama)
(Nemoj da se praviš dama)

(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Rek’o mi je lično Laka)
(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Dok ti ljubav nije jaka)

‘Cause we are living in a wacky world
I don’t have to be a wacky boy
But I gotta play a rock’n'roll
Just for the sake of love
Sake of love, sake of love
For the sake of love

We’re always waiting for the better life
Money’s the funky thing for which we strive
And it is very hard for us to see
That love is the key
Love is the key, love is the key
Love is the key

I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
I’m gonna try to wake you up but you’re acting like you already are

(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Rek’o mi je pjevač Laka)
(Ne klepeći nanulama)
(Nemoj da se praviš dama)

(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Rek’o mi je lično Laka)
(Ne silazi sa čardaka)
(Dok ti ljubav nije jaka)

I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
I’m gonna try to wake you up but you’re acting like you already are

I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
(I’m gonna try to kiss you)
(I’m gonna try to kiss you)
I’m gonna try to kiss you, please act like you don’t know why
(I’m gonna try to kiss you)
(I’m gonna try to kiss you)
I’m gonna try to wake you up but you’re acting like you already are

Ben McMullen on Mon, 14th Apr 2008 9:39 pm 



Absolutely fantastic. I really hope Bosnia win this year and I hope they sing the Bosnian version rather than the English one on the magical night.

Noctifer on Sun, 27th Apr 2008 9:50 pm 



What a well-behaved chicken! I love this song.

Lela montenegro on Thu, 1st May 2008 12:08 pm 



pjesma je fantasticna…..moj favorit….obozavam je….navijam za vas!!!!!!:)))))

Emppu on Sat, 3rd May 2008 9:11 am 



I have fell so totally in love with this song. Love that English-version too, but Bosnian-version is better. I really hope they get a lot of points and could win this thing this year.

If I can help it, Finland will give 12 points to them.

SULJO on Thu, 15th May 2008 5:21 pm 



laka najbolji si pjevač za mene a za druge neznam ona pjesma pokušaj ti je najbolja eto toliko od mene…..pozdrav

neil on Sat, 17th May 2008 8:34 am 



just saw them in Belgrade at the opening for Eurovision at the Castle. they stood out from the rest. when they started, everyone was like what the fuck is this? and by the second paragraph, everyone went crazy. My favourite contender this year.

admin on Tue, 20th May 2008 8:57 pm 



Song 13. Disaster! Though, audience loves this creep and I better not comment any more!
Pokusacu da ga ne izvredjam najstrasnije a vi se pravite ludi…

teramaster on Tue, 20th May 2008 11:26 pm 



Wooooo, ludnica, prosli smo u finale!!! To Laka majstore! Ma bice ovo odlican plasman, garant!

Najludji mi je bio kad je odjednom iskocio iz one korpe XD

Dreana on Wed, 21st May 2008 10:19 am 



bog me pomozi :s ova pjesma je grozna!!!! zasto je to proslo u finalu….bogami slovenia je bila bolja!!!

Evgenii Manev on Wed, 21st May 2008 12:07 pm 



Elvir made a beautiful song, awesome! Wish him all the best and success in Eurovision contest. I’ll vote for him, of course
Many thanks for sharing the lyrics here!

Radim u jednoj osnovnoj skoli i predajem muzicko,i verujte mi da moja deca pisu bolje tekstove nego sto je Lakina brojalica.Stidim se sto predstavlja zemlju gde zivim.nadam se da ostatak sveta nece da pomisli da smo svi kao i on ludi.I sto bi rekao jedan Grcki filozof,-Kakva muzika,takva drzava!-

kriticar on Wed, 21st May 2008 1:26 pm 



ne mogu da verujem da od onakvog kretena prave medijsku licnost i kuju ga u zvezde,nemoguce da smo na to spali.mora da su mu umesto trave dali origano da pusi.sve na svetu ima neku poruku a mene zivo zanima koja je njegova?sva sreca da mogu da okrenem kanal a ne da gledam izivljavanje frustriranog psihopate.Mozda bi ovaj spo razumele Suzana Mancic,Severina i Karleusa jer ne umeju da pevaju.

admin on Wed, 21st May 2008 1:32 pm 



Nece svet da misli da ste ludi… Svet se seca Harija
I, druga stvar… molim kriticara da ne stavlja Severinu u isti kos sa gore pomenutima (i pogotovo ne sa Lakom) jer je to apsolutno besmisleno a da ne kazem i da se moze smatrati teskom uvredom za nju!
E sad.. Karleusa.. moram da kazem da sam (za promenu) prijatno iznenadjena sto Srbiji ni na pamet nije palo da posalje tako nesto te da, upravo suprotno, imamo pesmu na koju mozemo biti ponosni!

sana on Wed, 21st May 2008 5:05 pm 



samo tako laka i da ako bog da osvojimo bolji rezultat tj pbjedu nek puknu dusmani ali blesavi laka ‘ude bogami u finale s “brojalicom kako to pojedini zovu samo tako legendo

Lakica on Wed, 21st May 2008 9:59 pm 



LAka je ljudi majstor. Pa sta je bre s vama. Muzika je haos. ON je orginalan ljudi. gledjauci njegovu numeru sedis cele tri minute i ocekujes sta ce sldece da se desi za razliku od ostalih numera zbog kojih je covek u stanju ugasiti TV i otici lepo u krevet. Kreativno, Moderno, novo ….jednostavno GO LAKA GO……Serbia is with you…Nek pokusaju da te shvate at se pravi lud

admin on Wed, 21st May 2008 10:04 pm 



Shame Lakica but I was embarrassed watching it! And I will be even more if Serbia gives him 12 points! I cant expect no votes for him since this is Serbia BRE but.. omg!!!

jonti_swe on Wed, 21st May 2008 10:47 pm 



I have no idea what most of the latest comments has been about but I don’t really like it, maybe with a better stage performance it would have been better.

*** my life is music on Thu, 22nd May 2008 12:20 pm 



***pokušatću da te poljubim,a ti se pravi ludaaa…***
pjesma je fora,čudna (na dobar način),super,vesela,mene uvijek nasmije i tak sam sretna dok je slušam,jednostavno uživam!!! Laka,svaka čast!!! nema šanse da ne pobijediš!!!!!!!!

*** my life is music on Thu, 22nd May 2008 12:32 pm 



kriticar i Dreana !!!! Nemate vi pojma o pojmu!!! Laka ima najbolju pjesmu!!! Samo kad bi znali slušat…i mislit…ali s čim…hmmm… Odmah morate prosuđivat ljude! A nedate priliku da se dokažu,a kad je dobiju (od nekog drugog) vi to samo popljujete!!! Pitam se dal ste opće čuli pjesmu…s otvorenim srcem,jer je vama očito srce zatvorena prema svemu. Ali,kriticar za ono na kraju u ima pravo,makar je Severina imala super pjesme,ali joj se nešto dogodilo,možemo samo pretpostavljat kaj… Ali,kakav god bio Laka (ja ne znam,kakv)…prvo poslušajte,a onda prosuđujte,jer svatko zaslažuje priliku,pa tako i on,a nadam se i vi!

admin on Thu, 22nd May 2008 4:37 pm 



hm jonti…
teramaster said he was happy that Laka was going to the finall etc
then Dreana noticed that Slovenia was better and wondered about the same thing most of us wonder - why did it reach the final?!
She also said - God help me, this song is awful! lol
Muzicarka and kriticar (same person btw) said that she teaches music in a school and that her pupils write better texts! She also said the rest of the world will think they are crazy so I told her that we wont lol
etc…
She also named “Pokusaj” - brojalica which is basically a kids song that goes 1, 2, 3.. something like that..
Lakica is full of praise saying that he is original.. that his performance makes you sit for entire 3 minutes wondering what will happen next while the other entries make people turn off the tv and go to bed…..
***my life is music also thinks that the song is cool and that the rest of us are clueless etc

I guess this is also one of those that people either love or hate..

jonti_swe on Thu, 22nd May 2008 4:48 pm 



Haha you didn’t really have to tell me all of that unless you wanted too but ok
and yea I think you are right, it’s probably something you either love or dislike.

admin on Thu, 22nd May 2008 4:54 pm 



oh I know how that is… some other languages around here are killing me! I think I will start approving only comments in English because it’s hard to figure out if people are saying nasty stuff when I don’t have a clue about the language lol

Teiia on Thu, 22nd May 2008 6:07 pm 



Love this song. <3 Do your best.

wix on Thu, 22nd May 2008 6:25 pm 



Ma Laka je legenda ljudi…jest da tekst i nije nesto i da je cudan i uvrnut ali ja mu se divim kao i veci dio BiH…jer kad tako inteligentan i fin covjek poput Lake se usudi da izadje pred citav svijet i pravi budalu od sebe da bi druge nasmijao…stvarno je legenda ziva…Go Laka,pobjeda je nasa..

wix on Thu, 22nd May 2008 6:32 pm 



Zboravih napisati za sve kriticare ako nisu znali da se svake godine nesto novo trazi na euroviziji i mislim da je ovo bas nesto novo i neobicno i da nikad nisu vidjeli ovako nesto a to i jest fazon,btw kriticari jestel culi aplauz na polufinalima najaci je bio a bili smo 3 u polifinalima…ne vjerujem da bi neka ludjacka pjesma bila cak 3 u polufinalima…

mercy on Thu, 22nd May 2008 8:11 pm 



Finale smo i ocekivali sa Lakom ili nekim drugim…. a zasto ga ne bi podrzali kad ni mi sami ne bi bolje izveli tako nesto?! Svaka cast … tekst zahtjeva dublje shvatanje nego sto to neki mogu tako da nas negativni komentari ne iznenadjuju!! GO BOSNIA GO HERZEGOVINA!!!

Bubblefish on Thu, 22nd May 2008 8:54 pm 



Great Laka !!! Bosnia Winner !!!

Imbaness on Thu, 22nd May 2008 10:28 pm 



This is far best song on this eurovision… It needs something new… and i think this is it… Good performance… I hope he will win…

Nemanja Twinky on Thu, 22nd May 2008 11:11 pm 



Lakina pjesma je super(što se mene tiče).Zamolio bih ove kritičare da malo razmisle.E,a što mislite o pjesmi Crne Gore?Pjesma uopšte nije imala šanse.Onaj jadnik što je pjeva sav je izgledao prepadnut na sceni.Pjesma je baš tra,la,laa…Što se tiče favorita,moji favoriti su Jermenija i Srbija.Čujem da se Srbi baš i ne ponose svojom pjesmom.A Oro je odlična pjesma,stvarno ih ne shvatam?Zamolio bih nekoga da mi to objasni.

Nemanja Twinky on Thu, 22nd May 2008 11:14 pm 



Laka,Sirusho i Jelena Tomašević su najboljiiiiiii…….

admin on Fri, 23rd May 2008 2:00 am 



Nemanja, koji Srbi? Mada… nije iskljuceno…
Ali ako mene pitas, ova Evrovizija i Jelenina pesma su zaista nesto cime Srbija moze da se ponosi!

But in any case, this page is about Laka and not about Serbian entry and sorry but things like that absolutely don’t belong on Eurovision!
Unless if O julisi na jalini and the turkey could join it which is thankfully not the case

Berti Kovco on Fri, 23rd May 2008 12:06 pm 



Ajdeee Lakaaaa eurosong 2008 —-> THE WINNER IS LAKA FROM BOSNIA 12 points from Switzerland hehe

Nemanja Twinky on Fri, 23rd May 2008 3:41 pm 



Admine možeš li da prevedeš ovo što si napisao?

admin on Fri, 23rd May 2008 4:40 pm 



Izvini Nemanja!
Rekla sam da je ova stranica o Laki a ne o srpskoj pesmi kao i “zao mi je ali takve stvari zaista ne pripadaju na Evroviziji osim ako bi O julisi na jalini i curan mogli da mu se pridruze sto na svu srecu nije slucaj”

Belgrade_girl on Fri, 23rd May 2008 5:15 pm 



Meni je pesma izvanredna…skroz u drugacijem fazonu od ostalih…Bosna je pokusala da plasira balade, ali nisu dovoljno jak utisak ostavili, koliko Laka sada svojim autenticnim nastupom, muzikom i RECIMA PESME. Poenta pesme, je da muskarci nisu nastali od majmuna, nego OD LJUBAVI, LJUBAVI OD LJUBAVI i da ne bi trebali sto se tice osecanja da se prave majmuni :))))
Toliko od mene!

pasleptis on Fri, 23rd May 2008 10:42 pm 



It is a lovely, lovely song — so great to hear smth like that in euroviosion context of… of you know what

admin on Sat, 24th May 2008 9:30 pm 



Finals
Song 6
More brides… Maybe Marija’s escort was supposed to tell us that Serbia will give 12 points to Laka?

nina on Sat, 24th May 2008 11:35 pm 



Laka you really make me proud with this song you are a real ambasador of our wonderful Bosnia and Hercegovina……..Thank you no matter what happens in the end Love you….I also have to say that Serbia has am amazing Jelena and Oro is wonderful song …….Zenicanka

Edi on Sun, 25th May 2008 12:41 am 



Really cool song! Love it! It makes me laugh and it is not like all the other songs. It stands out. You should have won!! But 10th place is great too..

Peace and love..

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:25 am 



Hej Admin, as Laka is original with his song, such as u with your stupid sentences and thoughts. WHAT THE F**K DO U KNOW ABOUT ORIGINALITY? I’m sure u voted for Greece and that silicone awfull girly…

p.s. My vote for this year’s Eurovision went to Israel, bravo for Boaz!!!

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:29 am 



Sorry for language, but I’m pissed off when somebody is sooo negative!

admin on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:29 am 



Hey Bosanac, ne seljaci se!
but I forgive you… especially because:
My vote also went to Israel!

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:33 am 



At least we agree in something Again, sorry for language, but next time please, measure your words and thoughts

admin on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:35 am 



I cant measure my thoughts! Ah don’t complain, we did give you 12 points in the end and I was really shocked with that bridal creep show beside Marija… What was that all about?! Maybe something related to the talks that she is gay?!
LOL

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:38 am 



Hehe I dont complain about points of course, tnx to Serbia, we also gave u 12 points.

but let’s be honest, neither Laka or Jelena deserved 12 pints. So I come to Russia and this year’s winner.

SHAME! But it is sad that it is sooo not about quality, but about something so stupid in world, ppl just couldnt beat Russian block

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 2:45 am 



p.s. Ej Admin, de me dodaj na msn: cajkoni@hotmail.com, ako nije bad

admin on Sun, 25th May 2008 3:03 am 



hocu svakako ali sad moram na spavanje!

Bosanac on Sun, 25th May 2008 3:09 am 



Ajd LN, i cekam te na msn

jex killian on Sun, 25th May 2008 6:19 am 



hey have to say I voted for you and is very happy that these lyrics also comes in english.
what a happy and sweet sweet song, you should have won, and have to say that the Bosnian version caught my ear, but the close ( the dress) and the action on stage was a bit too much, but still much better than the britney spears look-a-like greece came with >.< but when I closed my eyes, the music was so sweet.
unfortunally did my 12 votes on you didnt help. ( here we could vote more than once.)
but I think if people could understand the song ( if it was in english) it would have a better chance, but still like the bosnian version is way better than the english.
and another thing; how nice to hear a song NOT in english, but in their own language, more of that next year, and less britney spears ( greece) and boybands copies ( russia…)
more real people like bosnia next year

jex killian on Sun, 25th May 2008 6:20 am 



and by the way, havent I heard russias song before? only with another lyric??? I could have svorn on it…

z2xc5v on Thu, 19th Jun 2008 1:14 pm 



i got dizzy with the serbian comments hahaha, but i think is the same thing when i use my mains languages xD
Laka did it great at ESC, for me, is a very special song and the melody, is soooo good, i really not sure about the singer`s voice, but the music is just perfect…but in other half, i think that ESC is more used to Festival songs, ballads and dance-folk type of music, so probably like admin said, this type of songs dont belongs to Eurovision…now is time for the bosnian prove that ppl who think that are wrong

nina on Sat, 26th Jul 2008 9:38 am 



ti gore jadna profesorice u skoli, stvar je u filozofiji rijeci i dubljem razmisljanju koncepta, na zalost najnesretniji je covijek koji je slijepac pored zdravih ociju. Problem s Bosnom je sto u njoj jos zive ne prosvijetljeni ljudi zbog kojih je ta drzava stagnirana u svakom pogledu, pogotovo takvi kao vi sto nam ucite djecu o glupostima a ne znate pronaci pravo znacenje zivota i njegovih ljepota…. Kako moze dijete da zna interpretirati rijeci i situacije kada ima pogresnu podlogu od doticne osobe zasljepljene uciteljice kao sto je ova gore sa svojm plitkim komentarima…to je prava sramota sta nasi zaposljavaju…drago mi je da je eurovision song prosla i da napokon rezultati su tu, pa ti misli kako je sve to zapad interpretirao…ako si tako pametna…

Kenan on Thu, 30th Oct 2008 6:19 am 



great Bosnian song doesn’t sound Bosnian at all. Goodbye shaban saulic and welcome Laka

pesma za mlade!!!

john oswald on Fri, 19th Dec 2008 1:50 am 



I asked for the words or lyrics to the famous banjo song, O’ Suzana . And all that came on the screen was miles of assorted bull shit . You try this same request on computer !!! I think the computer servers are nutty thugs, bent on running the world out of energy by wasting it in the form of electricity to fuel these computers . I hope someone like Nr Rubiks of Hungary will devise a better system to fuel information through computers .

admin on Fri, 19th Dec 2008 5:51 am 




I think it’s because you misspelled the song’s title or maybe I’m wrong..

This you mean?

Nancy K. Dillon - O Susanna

O Susanna, night is coming on.
Take your heart and keep it safe until the dawn.
There I go again: wanting the best for you.
There you go again: saying that were through mm..mm..mm

O Susanna, stars light one by one.
This old world keeps spinning round the setting sun.
There you go again: flying all apart.
There I go again: the horse before the cart mm..mm..mm

Your wings are singed and sunburnt
While I sit like a stone.
My stillness makes you crazy.
You make me feel alone.

O Susanna, dont you cry for me.
Tune up that old banjo, play filigree.
Here we go again: dancing on the flame.
Here we go again: the musics still the same.

Your wings are singed and sunburnt
While I sit like a stone.
My stillness makes you crazy.
You make me feel alone.

O Susanna, dont you cry for me.
Tune up that old banjo, play an elegy.
Here we go again: dancing on the flame.
Here we go again: the musics still the same.

Tell us what you're thinking...
