Don't Ever Cry was the debut entry for Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet performed by the group Put.

The song is a plea for peace, set against the backdrop of the war of aggression which had recently engulfed Croatia. The song ends with the dramatic line "Don't ever cry, my Croatian sky". Notably, it switches between the Croatian and English languages.

The song qualified from the pre-selection in 3rd place, one point ahead of Slovakia's Amnestia na neveru. It was performed 21st in the final following the Netherlands and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 31 points, ironically the highest among the three debutants.

Tisuće snova dalekih, ruža u srcima zaspalih
Leptira tisuće šarenih, k’o duše nevinih
Osamnaest godina, moga Ivana
Moli za njega, pjesmo anđela

Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye

Osamnaest godina, moga Ivana
Moli za njega, pjesmo anđela

Mir daj nam ti, mir daj nam ti
Nebo ljubavi, nebo ljubavi
Mir daj nam ti, mir daj nam ti
Nebo ljubavi, nebo ljubavi

Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye

Don’t ever cry, my Croatian sky

Thousands of distant dreams, roses asleep in our hearts
Thousands of colourful butterflies, innocent like souls
My John is eighteen years old
Pray for him, angels’ song

Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye

My John is eighteen years old
Pray for him, angels’ song

Give us peace, give us peace
Sky of love, sky of love
Give us peace, give us peace
Sky of love, sky of love

Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Don’t ever cry, don’t ever cry
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye

Don’t ever cry, my Croatian sky
