Sva bol svijeta - Bosnia & Herzegovina 1993 - Eurovision songs with live music 

I wonder why Bosnia didn't won in 1993 like Ukraine did in 2022?

Bosnia is amazing, so are Bosnian people. Greetings from Poland my friends BTW, the song is very good

2:05 He turned his back to the audience on purpose. This was to symbolize how the International community turned their backs to Bosnia and did nothing to stop the bloodshed.

Imao sam šest godina samo, majka moja sa dvoje male djece, brat i ja, otac nije tu....sjećam se ove pjesme tad, tad sam plakao, i sad plačem evo...Ovo je bio krik, zov upomoć gospođici Evropi i međunarodnoj zajednici, ali niko nas nije čuo. Hvala gospođo Evropo, hvala međunarodna zajednico, snašli smo se, živi smo, ali zahvaljujući našim borcima! Vama na obraz sve što ste "uradili" !

These people literally had to run for their lives for several hours straight to make it to Eurovision. Truly the most impressive debut appearance a country can ever have.

The most difficult year in Bosnia...1993.... still people were singing and thinking about life and love! Long live Bosnia and Herzegovina

Teška priča , toliko emotivna pjesma otpjevana glasom bola i ljubavi ... Ali moram da dodam da ovaj čovjek izgleda kao Sergej Jesenjin ♥️

Even after these years, I get a tear listening to this

Nikada neću zaboraviti ovu pjesmu ,od bola je pamtim kako ste pjevali u čitavom tom bolu koju ste već bili tih godina. Sada sam je tražila da je slušam još jedno nakon 26 godina a znam svaku riječ pjesme koja je bila tada prepuna bola i patnje . Želim vam puno sreće i da cvjetate kao narod

I remember this very well. Bosnia's conductor had not been able to make the plane to Ireland because it was not safe for him to travel to the airport. Noel Kelehan, the conductor for the Irish entry, stepped in to conduct the orchestra for this performance. RIP, Noel. You were a true gentleman.

I was 16 years old girl sitting in the dark and waiting for explosion to stop. We were left in the dark and whole world was watching. This song is so powerful and only people who know what happened in Bosnia during this time can feel sadness and hopelessness.

1993 god sam bio vojnik Armije Republike BiH i ovu sam pjesmu sam slusao na straži na nekom tranzistoru sa baterijama koje sam dobio od vojnika engleskog .

The most impactful momemt happens 02:06 when Fazla turns his back to audience as a statement for world leaving them alone in the fight!

I am very happy because My country gave 12 points for this great song

What does not kill you - it makes you stronger - Bosnian spirit will never be broken

Im from lima PERU, I STARTED LOVING EUROVISION WHEN I LIVED IN BARCELONA, WATCHING SONGS FROM THE 90 I FOUND THIS GREAT SONG AND MOST FOR PEOPLE FROM BOSNIA, A BIG HUGES AND I HOPE U CURE THE PAINS , WITH MUSIC🥳🥳🥳

Here are the lyrics in English (roughly), bc I think they are very powerful: Verse1: I can't take the stars down from the sky, Nor can I find the way to the universe, But I can send this song to you, my love To let you know I'm still alive. When tears freeze on my face tonight I won't let fear have the best of me I am still strong enough to go through this alone But it would sure be easier if we were together. Chorus: All the world's anguish is in Bosnia tonight I remain here in spite of it. And I am not afraid to stand against the wall I still can sing, I still can triumph Verse 2: When tears freeze on my face tonight I won't let fear have the best of me. For who would stand guard then To make sure this malice doesn't come again?

I saw one comment in the comment section written in Bosnian language and decided to translate it to those who can't understand it. One man said that our representative Fazla went in Hotel Holiday in Sarajevo to ask people to borrow him a coat for his Eurovision performanse. Also this song is about war in Bosnia and Herzegovina which was happening during this performance...💔

I'm not Bosnian, nor do i have any connection to this incredible country, still this song makes me cry. I first learned about the Bosnian war in 2017 or 2018 when i did a presentation about Amnesty International. While i did research, i found a page 'worst things in Amnesty's history' there stood the name of a village that was massacred Srebrenica. It opened my eyes, I looked up Srebrenica and the history, I was shocked when i read that over 8000 people died. I talked about it for weeks, how the hell didn't i know that, it was like a mini Holocaust. Since that day i learned a lot about the war, and i have to say this, Bosnia I'm sorry Europe is a ignorant piece of shit, Im sorry your beautiful country had to suffer, I'm sorry we didn't help, all love and peace to you all the way from a ignorant country called Belgium

This song is about war. Amazing how they managed to come to participate to Eurovision while their cities were bombed and civilians killed. It's the first time ever Bosnia performed as a separate country from Yugoslavia. Will never forget this song.

It's so nobel what Bosnia did that year it's incredible

Boze imala sam samo 10 godina. Otišli su na evroviziju da bi ovu pjesmu otpjevali kao poziv u pomoć ali nam niko nije pomogao. Sva bol svijeta je tada bila u Bosni i Hercegovini 😢😢😢😢 eh Bosno moja pohorana šta ti dušmani i dan danas rade 😢

For English people... Sva bol svijeta je noćas u Bosni - All world pain is in Bosnia tonight. P.S. jednostavno plačem uz ovu pjesmu... nisam rođen za vrijeme rata, al' jesam 2000. Žalosno. Sretan ti Dan Nezavisnosti jedna jedina BiH.

Srećom nisam doživeo taj jebeni rat... Imao sam 8 godina kad je počeo rat u Bosni... Kroz ovih tri minuta ove pesme mi se čini kao da sam preziveo sva ta stradanja, svu tu strepnju i sav taj ponos i dostojanstvo... Da se nikada i nigde više zlo ne ponovi... Ziva bila i Bosna i moja Srbija... Zivi bili svi dobri ljudi ma ko god oni bili, ma kako god se oni zvali...

Here after Ukraine 2022 victory. Wish this song won the same way Ukraine did. It's truly breathtaking

Bože dragi kada se sjetim...ne ljudskog ološa,stradanja,gladi žedji,boli..ne toga ne...nego s kolikim ponosom i snagom me ova pjesma nosila kroz ta doba. Ali pjevač to iznosi sa tolikom dozom dostojanstva unatoč boli ko da kaže"neće nas nestati" unatoč svim dušmanima.Bosanski ponos i inat vrišti iz njega. I opet koliko je bosanska pjesma daleko iznad ostalih,bez ikakvog poredjenja. Halal vam vjera

Digni se iz pepela kao sto put do sada, sad s mirisom ljiljana, ljubavi moja 💪❤

Fazla je te godine morao proc ispod aerodroma kroz tunel da bi dosao na eurosong, stim da nije imao kaput za nastup do dana prije putovanja, kapa do poda majstore !

Samo jedna riječ. Jeza. Čitavim tijelom. Kako smo ostavljeni sami i kako su nam sve oduzeli da nas samo izbrišu s mape. Ali mi nismo bili sami imali smo Njega 👆.

I was in Bosnia 1993, and I love the people and the music

Naježih se slušajući pjesmu. Ne daj se Bosno ponosna. Pozdrav svim normalnim ljudima na brdovitom Balkanu

Joj, kako se sjecanja vracaju, tada sam imala pet godina ali kad god cujem ovu pjesmu vrati mi se miris zemunica, objave za opasnost , crvenih svjetlecih metaka ( tako smo ih tad kao djeca zvali), vrati mi se miris petrolejske lampe , budjenja uz onaj grozni, strasni zvuk kada bismo iz kreveta ustajali i puzajuci bjezali u podrume.... Sjecam se svih bolnih trenutaka, smrti ljudi iz obitelji, vriske, sjecam se plavog Man-a kad su nas ubacili na prikolicu....sve je ostalo i nikad otici nece... A zbog čega, zbog cijih ideala?! Svi smo mi jedan narod, svi smo mi braca, da se nikad nikom ne ponovi!

Why this song was being played 46 bodies were buried in and around Sarajevo. At the same time world community was imposing Arms embargo on Bosnia so Bosnia couldn't defend its own people. This song represents souls of those people who gave their lives to defend Bosnia and those who participated in it. Shame on so called civilized western world and so called Freedom and Democracy.

Sjećam se, rat u Sarajevu, mi slušamo ovu pjesmu na radiju..

prezivjeo kao dijete cijeli rat , ovo me podsjeca na patnju nas tada dijece patnju nase drzave , ali ipak smo poslali ljude da nas predstave onakve kakvi jesmo , nikom zlo nemislimo postujemo sve narode svijeta, Bosne je bilo i bice je za sva vremena , tada sam bio u izbjeglistvu , a evo hvala bogu u svojoj kuci rodnom mjestu gledam euroviziju na koju nazalost nema nikog da nas predstavi sto je cista sramota.

00:25 our, Boshnyak flag has been rised publicly 1st time after 1463 year. 😌 🔹🔸

This should have won! Da se zlo nikada ne ponovi! (May evil never repeat itself) We love you Bosnia. Greetings from Macedonia

How could someone dislike? Yes, the song might not be someone's cup of tea, but damn, the backstory of this song is tragic.

For a country in Bosnia's situation at that time to send a song like that is incredible! Well done to noel kelehan for stepping in and conducting the entry. The wood percussion throughout really lifted the bass

Bosanac iz Bosne može otić al Bosna nikad iz bosanca

It is composed by Dino Merlin, who represented BiH in 1999 and 2011. 🇧🇦

2020. ❤🇧🇦

29 years later and I still remember the emotion I felt watching this for the first time. Hugely underscored and underrated entry that has stood the test of time much better than most of 1993

Sretan dan državnosti Bosno i Hercegovino, ziva, prkosna sretna uvijek bila!!!!!! 🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦

Tada bili dio Evrovizije, a sada nas nema nigdje.Pjesma koja sve govori i koja je napisana iz duse.

It is sad how the country which tried to keep the convivence spirit of Yugoslavia was the one that was mistreated by every other countries of Yugoslavia. I am Catalan and I am fascinated about Bosnia since I was 8 years old. It was because an old children's magazine from 1994 called Reporter DOC. They talked about Żlata Filipović also. I remember seeing the recordings of an old man who had gone to collect water running back home with sounds of explosions behind him, etc. But I also remember a documentary of Bosnia after the war and one of the most cute parts was when a school in Sarajevo nowadays of 3-year old children who were singing and holding their hands, they were both Bosniak, Serb, and Croat and they were all singing ljuuuuuubi ljuuuuubi ljuuuuubi

I had tears 😭 in my eyes when in first hard this song in the Eurovision concert in 93❤️💕💖🇵🇰🇬🇧🇧🇦❤️💕💖

This song is simply beautiful, haunting in an unusual way. Even without understanding the lyrics I was easily swayed and after reading the translation... wow. Majorly underrated - maybe it didn't match the trends of 1993, maybe the subject matter was too uncomfortable, maybe it was the very idea of a country at war hosting ESC... Doesn't matter, still one of my favorites.

Preko radija 15 maj 93 godina je bio prenos,kada smo je culi zakovali smo i svi u plac,jezivo je bilo i dok se sjecam i pisem placem,nikad to necu zaboravit,,tesko mi je slusat ovu pjesmu.

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦 Turkey will never forget Srebrenica Turkey has always Bosnia's brother

Fazla is now teaching sociology at universities in the United States. He spent all the war in Sarajevo.

100 points from year 2018!!!

Nije nam svijet pomogo neka ih bude stid neponovilo se nikom i nikad sta smo propatil bravoza pjesmu

Bosnia 🇧🇦 we love you from Serbia 🇷🇸 ☮️

😭 The most painful year of my life. I hope the year 1993 never repeats it self ever again. Lost way too much then and although it was 23 years ago, the pain and saddest of memories still remain. May there be peace ✌️ in the whole world 🌎 especially now in the middle east that is unfortunately happening! An art form as this sends a bigger messages to the world that a country like Bosnia back 1993 needed humanity to unite and help and I'm sure these performers and song writers were motivated to go by expressing the pain they and the whole country were having back in 1993. And saying to the world, look we're alive and we exist as a independent country and here is what we've to express in an art form thanks to this Eurovision platform. 🙏 What an amazing songs, it honestly gives me chills and tears!

Revisiting this song because of what's happening nowadays between UKR and RUS.

Whenever I listen to this song it makes me sad and it makes me happy at the same time. I am saddened by everything that my country suffered at that time and I am happy because the voice of the Bosnian people began to be heard. Nikad ne zaboravi 🇧🇦

When he turned his back, that's was how Europe turned its back to B&H. 😢

2020 i suze još uvjek teču, kad čujem ovu pjesmu, jebeš ga...

🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Živela Bosna i Hercegovina, Šaljem vam puno pozdrava iz prelepe Vojvodine ❤❤❤❤

I real a lot of comments talking about coming back here after Ukraine's victory. I, myself, just found out about this (i wasn't even born during the Yugoslav wars). I am so sorry for the treatment that the Bosnian delegation had to endure, and I am glad to see that Europe has grown and learned about empathy and unity in 30 years...the difference between what Fazla and Kalush have received is astounding, good for us that we learned the lesson. However I wanted to say that us Ukranians understand your pain: it's the first time ever that the world is listening to us, and not turning it's back, and we know how it feels to have your sufferings being dismissed, even genoicides being unrecognized. Please forgive us for what Europe did so long ago

For me, in the Eurovision 1993 3 countries sent powerful songs!! Greece (my country), The Netherlands (The title of the song in English, means: ''Peace'') and Bosnia - Herzegovina!! Especially Bosnia's song is......a knife in the heart! :( Don't worry Bosnians, those dark days have gone for ever! :) Or...hope so..

A great debut for Bosnia & Herzegovina. And to think they had to run through a warzone to get to Eurovision. That's courage.

Nek nam se Bog svima smiluje i oprosti ♥♥♥

We are brothers 🇧🇦⚜️🇺🇦 Ми браття! СЛАВА ГЕРОЯМ!

88 sam rodjen, prosao sam kao mali i granate i metke i izbjeglistvo u narucju majke.... Bukvalno placem slusajuci ovo i razmisljajuci kako li su se njemu noge sjekle dok je ovo pjevao u svijetu, sa toliko ponosa....zivjeo ti nama Fazla ❤️🙋‍♂️

"I'm staying to defy the fear I'm not afraid to stand in front of the wall. I CAN SING... I CAN WIN"

The best song ever! Bosnia and Herzegovina forever 💝

Luda vremena, ne ponovila se nikome! Jedna si jedina... I vječno u mom ❤️

All the world's pain I cannot take the stars down from the sky I can't find the road, the road to the universe But I can send you this song So that you know that I'm alive, [my] love When tonight the tears on my face freeze I will not let fear take me with itself I still have strength to win on my own [But] if we were together, it would be easier All the world's pain is in Bosnia tonight I stay [here] to defy the agony And I'm not afraid to stand in front of the wall I know [how] to sing, I know [how] to win When tonight the tears on my face freeze I will not let fear take me with itself Who will keep watch instead of me So that the evil doesn't repeat [itself]? All the world's pain is in Bosnia tonight I stay [here] to defy the agony And I'm not afraid to stand in front of the wall I know [how] to sing, I know [how] to win All the world's pain is in Bosnia tonight I stay [here] to defy the agony And I'm not afraid to stand in front of the wall I know [how] to sing, I know [how] to win

Live long life, Bosnia!

It's been 20 years since Muhamed Fazlagić Fazla, and his team came out from besieged Sarajevo and went to Dublin, to Eurovision Song Contest.

Ova pjesma bi ttebala biti Himna BiH!!poruka svijetu sa pjesmom sta nam se desava u srcu Eu u 21 vijeku....

Koliko je ovo boljelo a boli i danas! ❤❤❤❤ Volim Bosnu!!

👍😻 zaboraviti ovu melodiju nebi smijeli , jer, tek sad ova melodija dobiva svoj stvarni smisao . U mukama se svi prepoznamo -i- svoje muke / svoju bol - pobijediti moramo . U srži - stražari smo svi jedni drugima , baš kao što u ovoj krasnoj melodiji se spominje. Živijeli svi stražari ovoga svijeta🫣🗽

2:06 is such a silent protest by only using the magic of music. Pozdrav ljudima iz Bosne iz Turske

BOSNIA'S BEST EUROSONG EVER !!! can feel the chills thru my spine thinking back in 1993 !

this song always never fails to bring tears to my eyes, this time in pure sadness. as someone of balkan descent, this song will always be a dark yet beautiful diamond in the rough. i have to give giant props to noel kelehan too for stepping in for sinan alimanovic too.

EH moj Balkane 😢 Ne bih napustila ovaj nas Balkan nikada.Srbi,Bosanci,Hrvati, Crnogorci,Makedonci...Ljudi sa ljubav u srcima.Bog je pravedan.Sudice svima koji su gadoste ucinili...Sudice gore na nebu.Nek vlada samo mir i ljubav Dragi Boze 👼🙏❤

What an annoying thing that only Turkey gave 12 points to Bosnia in that year. Shame on you Europe

A chilling debut , I was born a year later and the song in 94 was amazing too...

When I learned about the Bosnian massacre, I couldn't come to my senses for a long time. These people suffered a lot and the world remained silent.Hope it doesn't happen again😔😔Türkiye'den selam 🇹🇷🇧🇦

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: I can't take down the stars from the sky I can't find the road, road to outer space But I can send you this song So you know that I'm alive, my love When tears freeze on my face tonight I won't let fear lead me I still have power to win If we were together it would be easier All the pain in the world is in Bosnia tonight I'm staying to defy the pain And I'm not afraid of standing in front of a wall I know to sing I know to win When tears freeze on my face tonight I won't let fear lead me Who'll keep the guard instead of me So the evil never repeats

wonderful song

To mi je bila najteza godina u zivotu, crni dugi dani za dijete od 14 godina Jedini nacin za prezivit je bio da ostavim roditelje, prijatelje I sve sto sam Ikad imala. Sa 14 godina sam izgubila sve. Danas nakon 26 godina Same suze teku. Izgubljen zivot pun boli I tuge

2021 ❤🇷🇺🤝🏻🇧🇦❤ Najljepša pjesma od Bosne i Hercegovine na Eurosongu za sve vrijeme!
