One to a hundred multiplied by two
It's less about me, it's less about you
We keep on running from certainty
But don't know where to run from reality
If you take this life from me today
Tear it up and bury me away
You'll just find two, three songs of mine
Hundred worries of mine
Your love, your love in rewind
You'll just find two, three songs of mine
Hundred worries of mine
And all your love, your love
Your love
(Kad se moj život malo prosije)
(Pa na vrhu ostane najkrupnije)
(When my life is sifted through)
(All that's left on top is great)

Eurovision! Dino Merlin forBiH 2011
December 1 - In a live show, hosted
by Maja Čengić and in front of an audience of
journalists, BHRT announced in that Dino
Merlin will be going to Düeldorf in May
2011 to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the
Eurovision Song Contest. Dino Merlin will go both
as the songwriter and the performer of the BiH
entry. The song chosen will be presented live for
the first time on February 20, 2011, during a
special BH Eurosong TV show.
This
will be Dino's third participation at Eurovision,
having previously written the 1993 entry
"Sva bol svijeta," performed by Fazla.
He also participant as a performer, together with
Beatrice of France, at Eurovision 1999, where he
achieved the seventh place. In 1999, Dino Merlin
was sent to Jerusalem after it was discovered
that the national final winner, Hari Mata Hari's
"Starac i more," had been previously
released in Finland.
Dino
Merlin joined the BHRT team on Wednesday,
December 1 during a special show shown after the
news on the television channel BHT. At that time,
Dino expressed that the timing was perfect, as he
was in the middle of recording his new album, and
as such, he "will be able to give my
best."
After
Jerusalem, he said he'd never do it again.
"It's very exhausting, for 15-20 days,
you're like a soldier, but I think I can make a
good story out of it, and when I'm on stage in
Germany, people will say 'this is OK.'"
BHRT
confirmed that they have discussed participation
at Eurovision with Dino for several years.
According to Dino Merlin, he expressed to them in
the past that it's better to go with someone
else, and so he suggested Hari Mata Hari, Laka,
Regina to them, along with other musicians. But
as he explained, "this year I answered
affirmatively when they asked. Maybe one of the
reasons is the tough state of our society, and my
need to give my contribution to a better image of
Bosnia and Herzegovina abroad."
Dino Merlin forBiHbefore
First
official BiH entry was in 1993, Sva bol
svijeta, written by Dino Merlin, performed by
Fazla. BiH went to Millstreet in 1993 and

Powerful and fitting lyrics: All the pain
in the world is in Bosnia tonight, I won't
let fear come over me, Who will stand guard
in my place, never let evil happen again?
Sva bol svijeta, ESC
1993:

RTVBiH held the first live televised song
