Nespáľme to krásne v nás (English: Let's Not Burn The Beauty In Us) is a song by Miro Žbirka and Marika Gombitová released on Universal in 2001.
Originally, the composition was issued on the Žbirka's twelfth studio set Modrý album (2003), while available also on the Gombitová's multi-platinum greatest hits compilation Vyznanie (2007) in addition.
[3] The case was widely discussed by Slovak and Czech media, by means of which, Gombitová urged Žbirka to re-arrange the song.
Furthermore, according to the authors of Gombitová's 2008 self-titled biography, the duet should have been released on the Žbirka's album without a prior permition from the female vocalist and, therefore, she was not paid for her featured contribution.
[4][5] After an agreement that followed six months later, both artists in person presented the work (in the meantime re-arranged as claimed in behalf of Gombitová) during the Slovak annual awards "Slávik" in 2001, at Istropolis in Bratislava.
