Ljubav je (English: Love is) was the Bosnian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm performed by Deen, Dalal Midhat-Talakić, Ana Rucner & Jala. The country returned to the contest after a financial struggle making them unable to pay contest fees.
It was performed 17th in the first semifinal following Iceland and preceding Malta. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 104 points, failing to qualify for the final. Bosnia hasn't appeared in the contest since.
The group also recorded an English version called "Love Is All".

Trebat će mi tvoje tijelo
Kad oči zatvorim
Oko mene sve je bijelo
Čak i sivi zidovi
Neman kome da se vratim
Samo tebi vjerujem
Dugove ću sve da platim
Na ljubav se zaklinjem
Ljubav je začarani krug
Svako dođe na svoj red
Svako plati svoj dug
Ljubav je sve što imamo
Svako bira svoj grijeh
Jedno drugom praštamo ... praštamo
Tako trebam tvoje tijelo
Kad oči zatvorim
Srce se u tebe klelo
Kako da ti oprostim
Nemam kome da se vratim
Samo tebi vjerujem
Dugove ću sve da platim
Na ljubav se zaklinjem
Mjesto kapetana budem biro sam da budem pirat
Mjesto sretan da budem biro sam tugu u inat
Moja priča je rulet ulažem ne znam kasirat
Njenim očima uklet viš se ne znam nasmijat
Pa me mami toplinama nakon čaše dvije vina
Al ona nije ta što će mi sutra roditi sina
Opet ni jedna ne zna me tako magično dirat
Opet tragicno pijan, jer djavo ne da mi mira!
Ljubav je začarani krug
Svako dođe na svoj red
Svako plati svoj dug
Ljubav je sve što imamo
Svako bira svoj grijeh
Jedno drugom praštamo
Praštamo
I’ll need your body
When I close my eyes
Everything’s white around me
Even the gray walls
I’ve got no one to come back to
I only trust you
I’ll pay all my dues
I swear by love
Love is an enchanted circle
Everyone gets their own turn
Everyone pays their due
Love is all we’ve got
Everyone chooses their own sin
We forgive each other ... we forgive
I need your body so much
When I close my eyes
The heart swore by you
How can I forgive you?
I’ve got no one to come back to
I only trust you
I’ll pay all my dues
I swear by love
Instead of being a captain, I chose to be a pirate
Instead of being happy, I chose to be sad in spite
My story’s a roulette — I invest, but don’t know how to cash out
Cursed by her eyes, I don’t know how to smile anymore
And she lures me with her curves after a glass or two of wine
But she ain’t the one who’s gonna give me a son tomorrow
Then again, no other woman knows how to touch me in such a magical way
I’m tragically drunk, yet again ‘cause the devil won't leave me alone!
Love is an enchanted circle
Everyone gets their own turn
Everyone pays their due
Love is all we’ve got
Everyone chooses their own sin
We forgive each other
We forgive
