"someone may have died/drowned" - yes, sadly, over five thousands of Serbian soldiers were "buried" in the sea near island Vido, Corfu, Greece after exodus from Serbia during WWI. It is called Blue tomb and it is heavily referenced trough lyrics and title of this song (not so clear for foreigners, I guess). Still it is a song about personal struggle and hope that it is always there. That's why it is so subtle and "doesn't explode".

The song is not about a woman at all.. It is about the flower with the strong symbolism, methaphorics and message.. 🌸💜☮️

My favorite ballad this year! Wish Serbia all the best from the Netherlands! :)

I think a lot of people really underrate this song this year, maybe because Serbia has gone for several very out of the box entries the last few years, and this is more of a return to their Balkan ballad roots. I don't care, I think it's fantastic and it is also one of my favorites this entire year.

In the First World War, Serbia lost about 30% of its population, 60% of its male population. The figure is around 1,200,000 inhabitants who lost their lives. This is perhaps the highest percentage that a country lost in that war. Ramonda is an endemic species and has 3 subspecies. One grows on the Iberian island and in Serbia there is Ramonda Serbica and Natalija's ramonda, which was named after the Serbian queen. Both species are endangered and are protected by law. Natalija's ramonda is also known as the phoenix because it can to dry completely and to revive again when the conditions are favorable. In the First World War, Natalija's ramonda was taken as a symbol of Armistice Day and as a symbol of Serbian suffering in that war, as a new beginning, as a phoenix. The song follows these two stories. It tells where the purple Ramonde disappeared, as a metaphor for the suffering that Serbia suffered. During the performance, purple luminous dots appear on the LED screens that rise and rise. They represent the souls of Serbian soldiers who died defending their country and which go to heaven. At the end of the words, a purple ramonda rises from the ashes. That verse represents the aspiration for a better tomorrow, for the end of war, for the end of suffering, for peace.. Blue tomb. In one part of the song, he says, everything is quiet under the sea. When the Serbian army retreated through Albania to the Greek island of Vido, many soldiers died of disease and hunger. It is estimated that around 5,000 people died then and were thrown into the Ionian Sea for eternal rest. Since then, that place has been called the blue tomb.

Not every ballad need a screaming frenzy ending. This song is delicate, fragile, extremely emotional with a powerful meaning behind it (probably the most powerful of all songs in ESC 2024).

This song is about peace and hope.About Serbs solders in Great war who died for freedom.Lila Ramonda is flower symbol for peace in I World war❤

This is definitely a jury song, its incredibly under appreciated especially with the general public. ❤

My kind of track. One of my favs for this 2024 edition ♥

I usually don't watch live performances and I'm really surprised how very good this live performance is.

It is my number one, not just the song but the performance. Not very much singers are able of transmitting such emotion.

i'm really happy that she changed the final high note part because it didn't sound like that at the beginning. small change huge impact. Serbia is in my Top 5. 4th to be precise. so good!!

I consistently get goosebumps with this song. It's about resilience of populations and of individuals (via use of the ramonda as a metaphor) and speaks to how we must always hold onto hope and see possibility in our futures, even in the darkest of conditions. Currently my #3.

Such a beautiful song! The staging is great, the lyrics and the meaning of the song is amazing!❤

Carlena always vibe with Serbian songs. She needs to visit Serbia. :)

The song is about general hopelesness, both personal and societal. We live in dark times. No one believes in anything any more and she is calling for a hope to be reborn. In summary.

Song is about hard times in our life when we hardly function. Ramonda is a flower which can be found only in central Balkan on mounteens. Nickname of that flower is "Phoenix Flower" becouse it can completly dry out but only one drop of water and flower come back to life. It is clear metaphora on ppl who are going trough hard times and afhter some period "comes bacl to life". That flower symbolize Serbia during world War 1 when serbia is defetead in 1915 but at the end of war come back and won with allies. Every november 11th on armistrice day we put that flower on us in memory of resurection of Serbia in ww1. Something similar as English wore puppy flower on the same day but with slightly diferent motive.

Ramonda is masterpiece.

Tema pesme je univerzalna i govori više o ličnom stradanju svakog čoveka na planeti. Svi mi u zivotu imamo mračne i teske trenutke kada ne vidimo izlaz,a ramonda je simbol snage i nade koja nam je tada potrebna da bismo opstali. Svetu je danas vise nego ikad potrebna lila ramonda! Nadam se da ce strana publika pesmu razumeti.

This is a high praise coming from Maya, because she usually doesn't like ballads 💜

Saudade, Saudade was about the same! And was great! Harmoniiieees! There’s impact on the silence! 🇷🇸 ❤ 🇵🇹

Barkley graduated Teya Dora and her masterpiece for Eurovision song competition....Thank you Teya....and BRAVO

Serbia, it's a true artistic masterpiece. Ramonda is purple flower that grows out of stone and even when it dries out, it can be revived with iust one drop of water. Ramonda serbica grows only in Serbia and it's kind of phoenix flower. Love it! 🌸💜

I like almost all ballads this year, only a couple I don't. This one is one of my favorites though.

Lovely harmonies❤

Lyrics: Ramonda There's no rest for me, no rest for me I am restless, I cannot sleep The night won't give way to dawn Doomed is the one who is alone. It's as if underwater silence reigns I'm screaming, but you can't hear my pain Beyond the mountain gleam is white Yet there's no end in sight This is the path for the wounded. And there is no one to guide me now To Danitsa the Morning Star The world is pyre burning each flower Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas? Lilac ramoda, lilac, ramonda, lilac ramoda... Ramonda, lilac ramonda, Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda... And there's no one who would guide me For all the stars are sound asleep Saying prayers is of no avail Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas? Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda... Ramonda, lilac ramonda Lilac ramonda, lilac ramonda! From the ashes rises up A single lilac ramonda. Ramonda serbica is a lilac-colored flower that grows in central Balkans, mostly in the mountains of Serbia, and is a symbol of peace, hope, and resurrection. It is a very delicate and at the same time tough plant that can survive incredibly harsh conditions. It is worn as an emblem on Armistice Day, something like a poppy flower in the UK I think

Lila ramonda, DZanum, Teya Dora SERBIA 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

My favorit❤❤❤

My favorit ramonda remember the song sounds victorious

So delicate,great ballad about a symbol of peace and renewal Ramonda serbica 💗🇷🇸 Belgrade 2025.Serbia💗🇷🇸

She finished BERKLEY IN USA❤

She reminds me if Billie Eilish big time. The way she sings and acts ❤❤❤

Teya Dora is not her first name and a last name. Both words come from her real first name - Teodora. :D

One of my favourites 😍 this is a masterpiece😊❤

Bože kako je lepo prvo nešto pročitati a ne lupetati bez veze. Slažem se da je važan prvi utisak, ali ne bih sebi dozvolila da napamet tumačim nešto o čemu ništa ne znam.

It is about always having hope in everydays strugle for a person, nation, world...

Ramonda, known scientifically as Ramonda Nathaliae or Ramonda Serbica, is an extraordinary flower indigenous to Serbia, thriving amidst the rugged landscape of mountain Rtanj, renowned for its distinctive pyramidal shape and potent geomagnetic field. Despite its delicate appearance, Ramonda possesses an unparalleled resilience, capable of revitalizing with just a scant few drops of water. This unique characteristic mirrors the indomitable spirit of the Serbian people, who have endured countless trials throughout history.Symbolically, Ramonda embodies the essence of resistance and the power to emerge triumphantly from adversity. It stands as a poignant reminder of Serbia's resilience, particularly in the aftermath of the Great War (1914-1918), during which the nation suffered the loss of nearly one-third of its population, predominantly males. This staggering loss created an unnatural gender imbalance within Serbian society, yet the spirit of the people endured.As the national flower of Serbia, Ramonda serves as a poignant symbol of hope, resilience, and the enduring strength of the Serbian people. It is a testament to the nation's ability to overcome challenges and rise from the ashes, embodying the spirit of renewal and perseverance that defines the Serbian identity.

She is a wonderful woman with a unique voice. The song is something very special that was given to us and we get to see and enjoy it live.

Thank you for great reactions. Read what Ramonda means using google.

Ramonda 🇷🇸😍💪

The best song❤❤❤

You were close about drowning. Many Serbians soldiers who died after walking through Albanian mountains died on the island of Korfu and had to be burried in the sea.

Lovea Tea❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ramonda is purple flower which we use as a pin on our coats on November 11th (the end and victory of ww1). It's a kind of flower that goes almost dead and then when you put some water on it , it rises from the dead. It has wonderful purple colour. Also, it's called Nathalia's ramonda, in honor of Serbian queen. During the ww1 Serbia list the 3rd of it's male population. Greece help us. We went through Albania to recover in Greece. But there our solders died in such a great numbers, they couldn't put them in the ground. So they put them in the sea. Blue graveyard. Very sad... They were so young. Also, threw out Albania, Albanians killed them too in creatve ways. Even tho they were hungry and weak.

Ramonda serbica - the phoenix flower, an endemic, relict plant of southeastern Serbia, is a symbol of the Serbian victory in WWI and the enormous sacrifice that the Serbian people made for their freedom and the freedom of neighboring nations. A third of the total population lost their lives, but the Serbian nation rose from the ashes like a phoenix. The song is about the pain of loss and the hope of resurrection!

🇷🇸 I'm glad you understand our song about Ramonda because it's a resurrection flower in the true sense - it hibernates and is born again when it rains! I wish everyone new a positive spiritual resurrection and peace throughout Europe and the world like Ramoda !!! Welcome in 🇷🇸 Serbia next year on Eurovision song contest !

1.This is not a Balad, it is Serbian Tužbalica or grief song. It is a lullaby form song that a mother would sing to the baby while griefing for the lost son, husband, father, brother since Serbs were dying left and right for centuries. 2.The Ramonda is a flower methaphor for Serb, and the song sings about Serbian lost of 60% of male population in Great War and 1 third of people. 3.The Sea is Ionian sea where Serbs threw the dead as there was no place to burry the dead. 4.The rocks are the Island of Corfu where Serbs rested and healed.

Totaly top2

Ramonda is a flower not a persons name

Maybe you should pay more attention to the meaning of the text, look at the translation and the meaning of the song .

It’s stunning song, gr8 voice 🔥

Can you try to find lyrics before commenting ?

🌸💜🌸💜🌸💜🌸

2:37 Someone did die. In this war time, Teya's Ramonda is a peace song. 5:33 As I see it, Teya is actually singing a new version of "Where have all the flowers gone" and if you know that song, you will understand that Ramonda is an anti-war song. Ramonda is the flower which symbolises the end of WW1, and Teya is saying "Where have all Ramondas gone" as once did Marlene Dietrich.

Ramonda is a flower!Symbol of strength and grow up only in Serbia!

Teşekkürler selamlar efendim 🙋🎁

Ramonda serbica, a rare flower that grows in southern Serbia. Known for its remarkable resilience, this plant has the unique ability to revive when watered, even from a fully dehydrated state-an attribute commonly referred to as desiccation tolerance.

My favorite. Love from Türkiye❤

Honestly, felt the same as Tyler the first time I heard the song, like eh is this it? But the more I listened to it, the subtlety of it got under my skin. I think the song is perfet like this.

Probably my favorite national final this year except the winking song is a little boring to me. Somewhere in the middle it gets very repetitive and the high and lows not pronounced enough.

❤❤❤ teyaaa 🎉

No1 ...🎉❤

Ramond": [Stanza 1] I don't have it, I don't have it, I don't have it I have no peace, I have no sleep Don't let night come day Woe to him who is alone Stanza 2] Like under water, everything is quiet I'm screaming, but I can't hear Behind the mountains a white glow, I can't see the end This time is for the wounded [Pre-Chorus] And there's no one to lead me To the bright star of Danica The world is burning, every flower Where have the lila ramondas disappeared? [Chorus] lila ramonda, lilac ramonda lila ramonda, lila ramonda ramonda, lilac ramonda lila ramonda, lilac ramonda [Pre-Chorus] And there is no one to guide me Because the stars are all asleep Not even prayers help Where did the lilac ramondas go? [Transition] lila ramonda, lilac ramonda lila ramonda, lilac ramonda [ Chorus] lila ramonda, lilac ramonda lila ramonda, lila ramonda Ramonda, l ila ramonda lila ramonda, lilac ramonda [End] It rises from the ashes One lilac ramonda It is an endemic, relict species that grows on the Balkan Peninsula. The symbolism of this flower is multiple for the Serbian people, considering that, although it was tortured in the battles, it showed its power and courage in the war. She survived Golgotha ​​and disproportionate suffering in relation to the number of the population, but she came out of the war as a winner and managed to establish her state and sovereignty. The ramonda flower grows in the east of Serbia and on Kajmakčalan, and in Greece, whose highest peak is St. Ilija, and where the Serbian army, under the command of Živojin Mišić, fought fiercely before the breakthrough of the Thessaloniki front in the First World War. Therefore, the life of this unusual flower has a special significance in connection with the war and the Serbian army in it.

put the pens down and enjoy the music...

someone died ? about 15 million in WWI !

For sure all serbian kids at schools learn about Vila Ramknda. Her song is a perfect picture of Serbian culture. Something happened to France this year? Did they have on the stage little red Ones?

First you need to know what song means.......

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's so funny to watch you,knowing the whole meaning of the flower symbolism and the understanding of the history she sings about. Also, the guesses you made at the very begining 🙄....but as long as you are gay!🎉

This guy is not too deep.

It would help if you researched the lyrics of any Eurovision song before commenting on it, including its meaning. Doing so is easy and will help you be a more informed viewer.

How hard is to turn on subtitles ????

Teya Dora in fact is an artistic version of the female version of theodore ;)

I have the same feeling as Tyler. For me the song doesn't arrive where I assume it would arrive.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

😂😂😂😂
