Ne zori, zoro (translation: Dawn, do not rise) was the debut entry for Macedonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham, performed by Vlado Janevski.

The song is a love ballad, with Janevski pleading with his mother (according to an old Macedonian tradition) to go and ask the hand of the girl he loves from her parents.In a subtle poetic way he suggests that if girl's parents approve of the marriage his mother should call upon the musicians to celebrate his love, and if the answer is "no" his old mother should not curse the girl's family but mourn his misery. The suspense is becoming unbearable and, reaching for a bottle of wine, he is begging the dawn not to come since people would notice his teary eyes.

It was performed last on the night, following Turkey, making it the last entry in Eurovision with an orchestral arrangement. At the close of voting, it finished in 19th place with 16 points, relegating it for the 1999 contest.

Lyrics[]

Stoj, ne zori, zoro, dušmanke
V pušti nokjta da gi sokrie
Očive što raǵaat biseri
Srcevo što druga ne ljubi
Vinoto me vodi do nea
A se podaleku od pametta

Jas moram da pijam
Da se opijam
Bez nea da živeam
Majko, ne možam

Odi majko prašaj, kaj nejzinite
Laukedi ja dadat za mene
Ako ja dadat, vikni svirači
Ako ne, mesto kletva
Po mene zaplači

Jas moram da pijam
Da se opijam
Bez nea sam da živeam
Majko, ne možam

Jas moram da pijam
Da se opijam
Bez nea sam da živeam
Majko, ne možam

Ne zori, zoro
Pijano oro
So mene zaigraj

Stop, dawn, don’t rise, you fiend
Let the night hide
These eyes which bear pearls
This heart which can’t love another
The wine leads me to her
And further away from my senses

I have to drink
To get drunk
To live without her
Mother, I can’t do it

Mother, go and ask her elders
Whether they will give her to me
If they do, call the musicians
If they don’t, instead of curses
Cry for me

I have to drink
To get drunk
To live alone, without her
Mother, I can’t do it

I have to drink
To get drunk
To live alone, without her
Mother, I can’t do it

Dawn, don’t rise
A drunken dance
Dance with me
