2004 single by Željko Joksimović From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Lane moje" (Serbian Cyrillic: Лане моје, pronounced [lâne mǒje]; literally "My Fawn", figuratively "My Darling") is the name of the song performed by Serbian musician Željko Joksimović at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 for Serbia and Montenegro, in which it finished second. Inspired by traditional Serbian music (also called ethno), in the style of a ballad, it won in the semi-finals but ultimately lost closely to Ukrainian "Wild Dances", finishing second scoring 263 points, becoming the first non-winning song in the contest, along with Greece's entry "Shake It", to score over 200 points. The song set a trend of world music strategy in the competition by the former Yugoslav republics.[1]
