"Brodovi" (English translation "Ships") was the Yugoslavian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, performed in Croatian by Vice Vukov.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following Denmark's Grethe Ingmann & Jørgen Ingmann with "Dansevise" and preceding the Switzerland's Esther Ofarim with "T'en va pas"). At the close of voting, it had received 3 points, placing 11th in a field of 16.
The song deals with Vukov telling about the importance of the ships in his neighbourhood. He says that when there aren't ships the ports are sad, rivieras are deserted and the seagulls died.
It was succeeded as Yugoslavian representative at the 1964 Contest by Sabahudin Kurt with the entry "Život je sklopio krug".
