This is something special in my mind. Around 2007 (maybe?) we had a high school trip to Estonia (to small town in Lääne-Virumaa, near'ish to Rakvere) where Arts Group had a kinda pop-up style gallery set up and Music Group had "big" concert. While the concert line-up had several Estonian Eurovision favorites, this swept the floor with everything and everyone. They even liked our "wild card" bilingual cover of this where the guy and girl changes languages between Finnish and Estonian when verses changed (always FIN/EST pair).. I can't never forget seeing the local Big-Wigs from the county and local academy literally weep with joy and almost beg for encores SEVERAL TIMES just to hear both of these again, we/they ended up performing this like 4 or 5 times that evening! It was clear that this song holds something really special with the Estonian folks! Also, our Music and Arts Teaches (who all had had some.. ummh.. "refreshment beverages"..) and Driver (who's had a "long evening" already.) took our Bus to a ride around the town and ended up almost ruining the lawn of our host academy BUT maybe I should've been silent about that part.. Woops. (Sorry!)
The World remember this song after 23 years! We remember "Goodbye to Yesterday" from 2015, "Kuula" from 2012 and "Rändajad" from 2009 too. Estonia got 3.-th place in 2002, 1.-th place in 2001, 4.-th place in 2000 and 6.-th place in 1999.
woow.. i have searched for this song so many years and i finally found it! I never knew this song comes form Estonia! Respect! LOVE it! Thanks for the great song ESTONIA!
Estonia's entries from 1996 to 2002 were always flawless or nearly flawless. This one, Keelatud maa and Runaway are my favorites. This video tho lmaooo
Häviää kyllä Ivo Kirkalle ääniskaalassa ihan 100-0. Ehkä karisman suhteen voi kyllä verrata. Muuten kokonaisuus on enemmänkin sellanen veskuloirimainen karvaturpa raspikurkku.
I started to find Estonian a beautiful language from Eurovision, the first one I listened to was 2013 entry Et Uus Saaks Alguse. There have been so many masterpieces among the entries in Estonian when I tracked the older contests. I learnt the Estonian pronunciation to be able to sing Et Uus Saaks Alguse last year
April 14, 2024 I just heard this song for the first time, and I am enamoured of it. It strikes a chord and I experience this sensation of hope and nostalgia. It's night-time and I'm in my room trying to start an assignment. This song is just perfect. It's an aural beauty. I love it so much. 🤍 Aiman
Cette chanson me donne la chair de poule ! C'est trop cool ! Je l'ai entendu pour la première fois en 1996. Elle apporte de la magie à mon âme quand je l'écoute. Merci beaucoup ! La langue estonienne est si belle. Je devrais apprendre cette langue car elle est si belle et agréable à l'écouter. notamment en raison de l'affinité linguistique.Grandes salutations à tous et á toutes.. de la Hongrie.
i suggest you listen "Helen Adamson- Kas tead (26.01)" ....another example of beautiful estonian language. or ...."Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui lapsepõlv albumipiltideks saab (J.Trump / L.Tungal)" ....
i saw and heard this the last time i was 3. its the first eurovision song that i can visually remember (well, partially. i remember the beads, green bg effects, the faces of the performers and the opening measures)
Always loved this track. But, someone went crazy with the newly discovered computer graphics!!! Whooooo! And, why pair Maarja-Liis with that old bloke - would have preferred an attractive younger man - so would Maarja-Liis I think!
Tead millal olen rahul pihku kui maailm mahub hoida kinni võin tuult hing mässab tormivahus kui on lahus veel suudlust ootav suu Kui hetkel on valus,tahan sulle mõelda vaid muud ei ma siis palu, ka su pilk kõik öelda võib. Kee merekarpidest sul teen oma hääle panen sinna laulma üht viit Kaugel kui olen ära, ei mu pärast sa hirmu tunne siis Kui kaotan su silmist, pärlikee järgi sind püüan hääl,laintest või pilvist, juba kaugel hüüab mind Kui olen kurb ja nutan soovin, mu juurde rutta kee su kaelas on märg Juhtub, et mind kui jätad kee sult võtan siis tuhmub selle värv Tead millal olen rahul... Kui olen kurb ja nutan... Juhtub, et mind kui jätad kee sult võtan siis tuhmub selle värv.
+Orion Barb altar Estonian and Hungarian are both of the Finno-Ugric branch of the uralic languages. The difference between the languages is somewhat similar to the difference between e.g English and Russian or English and Hindi. A few words are similar, and the overall type of grammar is similar. But due to loanwords (germanic,swedish, some baltic and slavic in estonian, turkish, slavic, german in hungarian) the vocabularies are very different.
it was worth of winning big time :( I still feel it, after so long time. only weak point: lyrics, And that Ivo Linna was so much better than Maarja Liis. However melody and arrangement...brilliant!
One of few Eurovision songs I actually enjoy outside of the contest. There’s something likeable about it. Greetings from Sweden. Elagu Eesti! 🇸🇪🇪🇪 (PS. Our jury did have some musical taste back in ’96, right?)
Kas maarja-liis polnud mitte mingi 15 kui ta seda laulis?😃ma olen praegu 15 ja kuigi oskan laulda siis ei ole see kohe sugugi samal tasemel kui tema oma. Täielik jumalanna
Vanad head ja paremad ajad! Siis oli veel inimestel mingi kogukonna tunne ja üksmeel, ei olnud koroovat ja muid epideemiaid. Sai täiesti aru keskmine inimene, mis on maatööd ja tagantjärele oli see aeg ikka lõppäge! Ka muusikas oli meloodiat ja elu! Raha väärtus oli suur, 25 e ja said kõik lapsena kätte. Nüüd pole millelgi väärtust ja kõikjal on HIND. Ja eks seetõttu ehk ka maailm ja olukord selles aina kukuvad. Praegu pole ei inimeste kokkuhoid vist, on konkurents. Ja pole muusikat, on mingi ila ja kiimlemine või tümps. Jne. Minu jaoks on see kõik isiklikult õudne.
