Kraljevi Ulice & 75 Cents

After a nervy jury vote and televote in Croatia, Kraljevi Ulice & 75 Cents won the national final Dora'08 and will represent the country at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest with Romanca.

Kraljevi ulice (Kings of the Street), are a legendary band of street performers whose story begins in 1987.


The members are Miran Hadži Veljković and Zlatko Petrović Pajo. They often perform as a quartet with the help of their friends and great musicians, the irreplaceable Ladislav Demeterffy Laci on the accordion and Zoran Lovrić Zoc. They have won over the hearts of sympathisers of all ages with their performances and charm.


For the last ten years Kraljevi Ulice have successfully organised street festivals and events. They're the authors of the Cest is d' Best' festival, a Martin is in Zagreb event and Summer on Stross. They organise Marks Fair and Promenade Concerts. They are also the initiators of one of the most important city events today, Advent in the Heart of Zagreb.

Kraljevi Ulice will be joined by 75 Cents on stage for their Eurovision Song Contest entry Romanca

Lyrics of Romanca

VIDIŠ PRIJATELJU JA PAMTIM SVE
I MORAM TI REĆ DA IZMEĐU OVE
I MILION DRUGIH PJESAMA
NE POSTOJI RAZLIKA

Jer život taj za nama briše tragove
U dobru noć on pušta čudne vragove
Pa svaki san je hladnim suncem obasjan
A sjećanja su skoro sva ugasnula

Da pitaš me još samo jedno znao bih
Da boje sve tek s ovom rimom postoje
A noć i dan su nekog stiha trag
I nestat će kad naše pjesme izbljede

Zasvirajte noćas tu romansu
Tiho nježno da me razboli
Tugu kad umire slavuj
Kad se duša s tijelom razdvoji

Zasvirajte noćas tu romansu
Al polako da je čuju svi
Neka opet sviraju gitare
Već odavno nisam slušo njih

GOVORE MI DANAS
DA SAM U BANANI
TEHNOLOŠKI OTPAD
KO MAJMUN NA GRANI

A JA SAM BIO PRVI
INTERNET NA SVIJETU
NA BRODOVIMA S GLAZBOM
UMREŽIO PLANETU

Pamtim i sad sve snove svojih pjesama
Sva maštanja i lica što su nestala
Ko sjene su još dio mojih buđenja
Zarobljena u mene davno utkana
