Kaliopi (F.Y.R. Macedonia): 'Dona'

Written by: R.Grill, Kaliopi

A big hitter on the Balkan music scene, Kaliopi returns to the 2016 Eurovision stage after representing her country in 2012 with the song ‘Crno i belo!’

That year she took F.Y.R. Macedonia to the Grand Final and found success the following year with her 2013 album, Melem.

I say a prayer and thank God who gave me the power to enter the stage and share my joy with everyone!
Kalopi

It was also a leap year the last time Kaliopi competed in the contest and she says she made the decision to come back to the Eurovision fold after numerous requests by her dedicated army of fans.

Lyrics - 'Dona'

From all the small things
This one is the most worthy
From all the great thoughts
From my entire world.
And when I turn back
You are always there
As a hidden shadow
Silent God's flower.

For all the things that you gave me
From my heart I thank you
For the entire passed time

Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Look at me
And smile
For me
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
My force, light, glow
You make me strong, you know, oh Dona,
Believe
Believe in me

From all the small things
This is the most worthy
From all the great thoughts
From my entire world
I know whom I belong to
And where joy awaits me
On small clouds I walk
On pearl stairs

For all the things that you gave me
From my heart I thank you
For the entire passed time

Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Look at me
And smile
For me
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
My force, light, glow
You make me strong, you know, oh Dona,
Believe
Believe in me

Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona
Believe in me.
