Nina Badrić

Croatian broadcaster HRT this year decided to internally select one of the nation's top female artists, Nina Badrić in their quest for glory on the Eurovision stage. 

Nina Badrić is one of the most successful and most awarded Croatian musicians, whose career has successfully lasted for the past 20 years. Accomplishments, rewards and popularity are following this musician beyond Croatian borders, where she’s been dubbed the best and most favourite pop singer from the former Yugoslavian region year in, year out, by both audiences and music professionals.

In the nineties Nina commenced a solo singing career, heading music charts all over Croatia. She is a multiple winner of the Popularity Oscar, awarded by the professionals and audiences in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. Besides a terrific voice that many compare to those of divas like Angie Stone, Alicia Keys or Mary J. Blige, Nina is characterized by many as one of the most complete musicians today. Her personality, charm, or the so called factor X immediately win people over, and as far as her looks are concerned, many claim that she has been one of the most beautiful Croatian singers for years.

Nina Badrić’s face was recognized as the face of the world campaign for Frederique Constant luxury watches. The campaign with Nina’s trademark face graces billboards all over the world and numerous fashion magazines, such as Vogue, In Style or NY Times. She is known as a person that gladly takes part in many humanitarian activities. Nina Badrić is a singer who has tried her hand with every musical genre, from pop to jazz, leaving her specific mark of recognizable and strong interpretation in each of them. She writes most of her songs, and it is with an original composition that she plans to represent Croatia at the upcoming Eurosong competition.

Lyrics of Nebo

Poslušaj me kad ti kažem sve sam probala
Još si u mislima mojim još te svojim osjećam
A čujem da ljubiš i kažu mi ljudi
Da briga te
Ja k'o da pameti nemam još tebi nadam se
Ma sve ti nebo vrati i zapamti svaki dug
Svatko od nas sanja a nebo određuje put
Sve ti nebo vrati, netko gore to vidi sve
I ove moje suze na duši nosit' ćeš

Sakriti ću se iza hladnih mokrih ulica
Da nikad ne vidi nitko
Da ti nisam značila
A čujem da ljubiš i kažu mi ljudi
Da briga te
Ja k'o da pameti nemam te
Tebi još nadam se
Ma sve ti nebo vrati i zapamti svaki dug
Svatko od nas sanja a nebo određuje put
Sve ti nebo vrati, netko gore to vidi sve
I ove moje suze na duši nosit' ćeš

Sve ti nebo vrati
Netko gore to vidi sve
Sve ti nebo vrati
Listen to me when I say, there's nothing I haven't tried.
You're still in my thoughts, you still feel mine.
And I hear you're in love and people tell me
That you just don't care.
Like I've lost my mind, I still keep hoping for you.
Well heaven settles every debt and remembers everything you owe.
Each of us dreams, but heaven sets the path along which you go.
Heaven settles every debt, someone up above sees it all,
And these tears of mine will weigh heavily on your soul.

I will hide myself behind cold wet streets,
So that no one may ever see
That I meant nothing to you.
And I hear you're in love and people tell me
That you just don't care.
Like I've lost my mind,
I still keep hoping for you.
Well heaven settles every debt and remembers everything you owe.
Each of us dreams, but heaven sets the path along which you go.
Heaven settles every debt, someone up above sees it all,
And these tears of mine will weigh heavily on your soul.

Heaven settles every debt,
Someone up above sees it all,
Heaven settles every debt.
Ecoute-moi, je te dis que j’ai tout essayé
Tu es encore dans mes pensées, je sens encore que tu m’appartiens
Et on me dit que tu aimes une autre
Et que tu t’en fous
Je garde le fol espoir que tu retournes
Le ciel rend tout les coups et n’oublie pas les dettes
Nous avons tous des rêves mais le ciel indique le chemin
Le ciel rend tout les coups, quelqu’un la haut regarde tout cela
Tu porteras mes larmes sur ton âme

Je me caherai derrière ces rues froides et mouillées
Pour que personne ne voit jamais
Que tu ne tenais pas à moi
Et on me dit que tu aimes
Et que tu t’en fous
Je garde le fol espoir que tu retournes
Le ciel rend tout les coups et n’oublie pas les dettes
Nous avons tous des rêves mais le ciel indique le chemin
Le ciel rend tout les coups, quelqu’un la-haut voit tout cela
Tu porteras mes larmes sur ton âme

Le ciel rend tout les coups
Quelqu’un la-haut voit tout cela
Le ciel rend tout les coups
