NORTH MACEDONIA – Although the country’s national broadcaster hasn’t made any decision whether Vasil will represent again North Macedonia in 2021 Eurovision Song Contest edition, he released a brand new song and video.
The song is titled “Mojata Ulica” (My Street) and it’s autobiographical. Moreover, the artist says:
“It’s an autobiographical song of sorts that I wrote, and Igor wrote text to using my life journey as an inspiration. To capture the raw quality of message, Emotion, and song we decided to do it one take with live singing. Video was filmed in an abandoned building back home. Wanted to use that as a metaphor of something that once was. Maybe not being there anymore but … in our memories, our first address … street, home, love .. whatever it may be … never leaves. I feel that with all of us stuck at home now being smart and safe. This is the ideal message and song, I was about to release it in January but I got asked to do Eurovision and put it on hold. We all have a “Mojata Ulica” whatever and wherever it may be.”

LYRICS
Son li e ova ili jave e nikoj ziv ne znae
Patuvam doma i ke se vrakam pak, sam.
Jas sum ti ptica preselnica na Jug
Zalutan vojnik vo smrten krug
Jas sum ti plamen koj i ne gori za drug
Jas sum ti kral na tagata
Po stoti pat nad matnata bara
Begaj nostaligio ulicarke stara
Jas dojdov za nea ne za tebe
Da probam da ja zemam so sebe
Mojata ulica prodadena tajna
Mojata ulica iskrshena slika
Ljubov zabraneta son ne dosonet
Kako vo star Mozartov sonet
Kalinki zreli nad ceshmata vo dvor
Zlatni nijansi niz bagremot
A Nad nego kruzat dve gugutki vo let
Scena od drug irealen svet
Po stoti pat nad matnata bara
Begaj nostaligio ulicarke stara
Ljubov zabraneta son ne dosonet
Kako vo star Mozartov sonet
Mojata ulica iskrshena slika
Jas dojdov za nea ne za tebe
Ke probam da ja zemam so sebe
Mojata ulica
