Ostrani kraj mene (translation: Stay beside me) was the Bosnian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 in Dublin performed by Alma Čardžić and Dejan Lazarević.
The song is a love duet, in which one singer claims that "All the pain will vanish/Except this song, me and you". The live performance in Dublin was noted for the wide applause which crashed into the beginning of the song, not unlike the reception the previous year.
It was performed 18th on the night following Norway and preceding Greece. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 39 points.

Ti znaš da vratiš svijetlo ovom mraku koji osjećam
S tobom sam sretno djete mada tako ti ne izgledam
Godine, jedna po jedna, kao voz i stanica
Na posljednjoj smo sami ti i ja
Ostani kraj mene
Sva moja nada to si ti
Sva moja snaga to si ti
Sva moja sreća i zato ostani
Ljubavi
U tvojim očima modra rijeka kojom mržnja neće poteći
Tvoje srce zna one drage riječi što se daju ljubeći
Godine, korak po korak i sva bol će prestati
Ostat će ova pjesma ja i ti
Ostani kraj mene
Sva moja nada to si ti
Sva moja snaga to si ti
Sva moja sreća i zato ostani
Ljubavi
You’re the only one who can lighten up this darkness I am feeling
With you, I am like a happy child although I don’t look like it
Years, one by one, like a train and a station
Only we’re at the last one
Stay beside me
You are all my hope
You are all my strength
All my happiness and stay because of that
My love
In your eyes, there’s a blue river through which hatred will never flow
Your heart knows the sweet words said when one’s in love
Years, step by step and all the pain will vanish
Except this song, me and you
Stay beside me
You are all my hope
You are all my strength
All my happiness and stay because of that
My love
