Probudi me (translation: Awake me) was the Croatian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin performed by the girl group E.N.I.
The song is an up-tempo number, with the girls singing about the best way to wake them up in the morning - with love, rather than coffee.
It was performed 23rd on the night following France and preceding the United Kingdom. At the close of voting, it finished in 17th place with 24 points.
Lyrics[]
Uh… ah… hej… oh…
Probudi me
Ne trebam poklone ni cvijeće, da započnem dan
Ne, meni treba nešto veće, da mi otjera san
Ne, ne, ne želim pecivo ni kavu, ni šećer, ni šlag
Ja želim samo ljubav pravu, oh, no ko mi je drag
Još samo par minuta, ne tražim previše, molim te
Reci mi bezbroj puta od svega najviše volim te
I samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Još samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Hey, yeah
Ne trebam voće i kolače, da zasladim dan
Ne, meni treba nešto jače, da mi otjera san
Još samo par minuta, ne tražim previše, molim te
Reci mi bezbroj puta od svega najviše volim te
I samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Još samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Probudi me
Poljubi me, probudi me, dotakni me, zavedi me
Poljubi me, probudi me, poželi me, probudi me
I samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Još samo tu, tu, tu, poljubi me
Polako, uh uh uh… probudi me
Trebam, trebam te, probudi me
Ooh… ah… hey… oh…
Wake me up
I don’t need gifts or flowers to start a day
No, I need something bigger to chase my dreams away
Don’t, don’t, don’t want rolls or coffee, not sugar nor cream
All I want is a real love, oh, someone I like
I just need a few minutes more, I’m not asking for anything more, please
Tell me countless times I love you more than anything
And just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
Again just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
Hey, yeah
I don’t need fruits or sweets to make my day
No, I need something bigger to chase my dreams away
I just need a few minutes more, I’m not asking for anything more, please
Tell me countless times I love you more than anything
And just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
Again just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
Wake me up
Kiss me, wake me up, touch me, seduce me
Kiss me, awaken me, long for me, wake me up
And just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
Again just here, here, here, kiss me
Slowly, ooh ooh ooh… wake me up
I need, I need you, wake me up

Trivia[]
- This was one of four entries that year which didn't feature the orchestra, owing to the new rule of optional instruments on stage.
