Pridi, dala ti bom cvet (translation: Come, I'll give you a flower) was the Yugoslavian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 in Amsterdam performed by Eva Sršen.
The song uses the metaphor of "flowers," as the singer describes that she is the flower "that nobody can reach but you," the "you" implying her secret love.
It was performed 4th on the night following Italy and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 4 points, all from the United Kingdom.

Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Ki raste le v meni, le zate cveti
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Odprla bom zate vse svoje lati
O pomladi nisem sanjala, saj v rokah jo držim
Večnosti ne bom oznanjala, se smrti ne bojim
Umrla bom zato, da v tebi se rodim
Ljubi moj
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Cvetela sem zate, utrgati smeš me le ti
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Ki raste le v meni, le zate cveti
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Odprla bom zate vse svoje lati
O pomladi nisem sanjala, saj v rokah jo držim
Večnosti ne bom oznanjala, se smrti ne bojim
Umrla bom zato, da v tebi se rodim
Ljubi moj
Pridi, dala ti bom cvet
Cvetela sem zate, utrgati smeš me le ti
Come, I’ll give you the flower
Which grows only in me, which blooms only for you
Come, I’ll give you the flower
I’ll open for you all my tassels
I haven’t been dreaming of a spring, because I hold it in my hand
I won’t announce eternity, I’m not afraid of death
I will die to be born in you
My dear
Come, I’ll give you the flower
I was blooming for you, only you may pick me
Come, I’ll give you the flower
Which grows only in me, which blooms only for you
Come, I’ll give you the flower
I’ll open for you all my tassels
I haven’t been dreaming of a spring, because I hold it in my hand
I won’t announce eternity, I’m not afraid of death
I will die to be born in you
My dear
Come, I’ll give you the flower
I was blooming for you, only you may pick me
