Urban Trad - Sanomi 

I found it.. Oh my god afrer 16 years. I had the melody stuck in my head and I thought I was the only person on the planet that ever heard this song and at one point, I thought I made up the melody because nobody knew it, that's how desperate I was. I f***ing found it....!!!

Even after more than 10 years I still get shivers down my spine when I hear this song. It is a total eargasm. Thank you Belgium for this entry, kindest regards from Slovenia.

As a Turkish man, I wish we could divide the award into two and share it with Belgium. Both songs are just unique!

One of the most unique songs that compete in Eurovision Song Contest! Their harmony is perfect and magical! I can't stop listening it!

This entry should not be forgotten

Probably one of the most beautiful songs in Eurovision history alongside Lane Moje the year after. Do not even need to understand it to feel its power. I was only 14 at the time and went through a heavy metal phase but fell in love with this song and was upset it did not win. Still remains my favourite Eurovision song of all time.

I'm speechless... This is a masterpiece that should never be forgotten.

I was totally IN LOVE with this song and I still am. This imaginary language is beautiful, the melody is wonderful and the voice of the singers, too. Perfect!!·

this song is so magic, I can't describe it

Still one of the greatest ESC songs and performances...

Since it was the french entry that year us dutch speaking part of the country hadn't even heard it before the contest but it blew me away. By far the best belgian entry ever

Can't get over this song. It's stuck in my mind. Incredibly beautiful.

We Belgians didnt expect much from that year. I never heard it at the radio. First time I heard it was at eurosong and it was way better than expected. It deserved a first place in my eyes

I feel like this is what a true European song would sound like, it's as if all the European styles of music and languages were mashed together. And no surprise, it's beautiful! A true Eurovision classic

Pourquoi cette chanson sublime n'a pas gagné l'eurovision? Une deuxième place est un affront pour ce superbe titre.

Belgium already has three languages, and now they made a fourth?!

Belgium's best entry in; probably the last 25 years. With a completely made-up language :) I adore it!!

I can't believe this was 2003 - so many very happy memories make this one of my favourite songs ever.

Still the best ESF-contribution from Belgium, even after 20 years.

I dare to say this is my all time Eurovision favourite... shows that music can touch your heart no mattter the language. Greetings from Greece :)

I'm from Belgium and when it was this song I was singing with it and now, 10 years later, I still sing along with the song =D

My all-time favorite Eurovision entry. It just feels so magical and soothing. I listen to it when I fall asleep.

Our best entry ever, and probably for a very long time in the future as well.

to me this is the quintessential eurovision song .one may not understand the language as many of us dont understand each others but we can feel the music regardless of borders.magnificent

Such a beautiful song. Any other year this would have won, but Sertab's song and performance were more of a show-stopper, and to me did deserve the win. Off the top of my head this is one of the best of probably all runners-up along with Ukraine 2007 & 2008.

When I was at a Eurovision Party in 2003 there was a gasping moan when I gave my 12 points to Belgium. But when the votes were stacking up, and Belgium came 2nd, I was crowned the night's Eurovision Guru. Thank you Sanomi ;)

I still totally love it in 2019! Greetings from Greece!!

2017 and this song keeps popping up in my head at times.

Depuis que j'ai retrouvé cette chanson je l'écoute le plus souvent possible tellement je l'adore!!❤❤❤❤❤

The best Eurovision song - no race, no gender, no politics, no associations, no message, just pure music!

Iconic. I watch this as kid and i still think that this needs to be winner ❤

I remember this song because it was legendary. It's the first song and maybe the only one of Eurovision sung in a fictive language.

Belgium at his best ! Thank you Wallonie. Regulary I still play this song. I can't get it out of my mind.

the proof that music connects us all without a extual langauge to understand it. all made up words, love it!

Not being a fan of Eurovision, especially nowadays, this was literally the only song that I ever voted for. Shaped most of the summer of 2003 for me, and refined my inner feeling of good (read: real) music yet again.

This unique song will endure. I have loved it from on the first moment and it will remain in my mind as long as I'll live. Stunning! Amazing! Gorgeous! Thank you for this wonderful song.

I have literally searched forever for this. I thought it was the Netherlands. Always liked it

God, I still love this ... From Belgium BTW, saw Urban Trad several time live. Too bad they broke up ... Luckily, I still have the CD's ...

This somehow reminds me of the time when Paleo-Europeans including Basque roaming throughout the continent, the time before the Indo-Europeans came to Europe. Simply amazing, this one should've been Belgium's second victory.

one of the best song we have send in over the past 15 years :) should have won!!!!! the song we are going to send this year is also not bad LOVE THIS SONG

The greatest ESC masterpiece. ☝️👍👌

Desde luego, la mejor canción de ese año con diferencia!

I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say they were the true winners. This song's just perfect. No big act, no stupid dancers, no flashy lights and awful outfits. Just 6 people who understand what music is about ...

Still one of the greatest eurovision songs ever

Sounds nice my friend played this for me first time tonight. He even done the movements and invented some of his own. He was very funny to watch, but he was most definitely enjoying it. He likes this music and I will agree with him. Sounds like a lost language of a Celtics or something, Trippy😎 Oh Galician tunes then🤔

I still love to listen to this song Cannot understand why this song did not win.

This song turns 20 this year!! :O yet it feels so modern.

Best song ever. Greetings from Belgium !!

Yes, but Sertab did it so good too... I love both...

Chinese here, music is our common language, this band is really impressing❤

I won't forget the day this song graced my life.

The courage, the courage that sending and singing this has obviously taken They should have won hands down

Que recuerdo esta cacion me molaba mucho

And now imagine how this song could sound with live orchestra

One of the VERY few quality Eurovision songs!

I am Turkish and this was a great song and it was my favorite in ESC'03 and I am still listening it. But our song was good too, and as far as I remember Belgium gave us 12 points. Durin that night I really wanted us to win but if Belgium had got instead of us I wouldn't be that sorry. Because they really deserved it as much as us.

Brilliant. One of my favorite eurovision songs ever

Just wonderful! Still singing and listening to this song.

I think this is the MOST BEAUTIFUL song in the ESC history

me encanta!!!!!!!!!!!!!adoro esta cancion llevaba mucho tiempo buscándola y por fin la e encontrado!!!!!!!!!me encanta!!!!!!!!!

My favourite entry of all time

Compare this with hooverphonic and the modern eurosong songs, this should’ve been nr1. Please compete again

SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL ! it's timeless, after all those years I still love it !

2018 and still listening. Best Eurovision song ever

Esto es arte puro, absolutamente maravillosa esta canción!

I forgot I knew this music when I was a kid. Listening to it back I remember. Beautiful. 💞

What a great song! Still love it. Kinda medieval...

i was searching this tune about 4 years now, i fund it :D

I still love this song even after 10 years... wonderful

OMG I love this. One of the few quality songs I've heard over the years of Eurovision.

I love this song , great voices!

Galician tunes. Really they are "Ialma", a group of galician descendents in Belgium.

Awfully, 2003 was the best year of the whole Eurovision history, the one with the most high quality songs. If we had sent this entry any other year, we would have won.

Thanko!!! Song realy amazing i realy like it

epic, I really love this song. It has also been on my mind all these years! Gewoon geweldig!

This is now 10 years ago... I still love this phantastisc song, and still enjoy it very much... The best song of eoruvision ever... :0) Thank you Urban trad... :0) With love from a big fan in Denmark...

This should have won. This is the real winner of ESC 2003

ooooooooooooo I like so much this song!!!! I'm crazy when I listened in this year!!! congratulations!!!! kss from brcelona SPAIN

Still love this song. One of my all-time ESC favourites.

I loved this osng from the first time i heard it and I still do. The music is so beautiful.

Muy buena. Además, no importa que esté interpretada en un idioma inventado, ya que cuando una canción está bien hecha y se interpreta con sentimiento siempre llega al público.

Galicia calidade. Este ano volvemos coas Tranxugueiras, esta vez representando a España (sorpresa!).

Looking back, what a great year that was and the very close finish til the very last vote :-)

This is the most awesome song I've heard on an Eurosong contest and remains one of the reasons why I continue to watch it ;) Voted for them and Belgium should have won ! ^^ Tres bien

Thumbs up if you think this is the best song ever seen on Eurovision!

The song "Sanomi" is so beautiful, that I have decided to use the title as my middle name. It wasn¨t legal in 1966, but if was in 2010. Thank you to Urban Trad for allowing this. :-)

Waar is de tijd! Pure nostalgie 🙂

By far the best song that year. The music is enchanting as is the gorgeous Veronica. As an Irishman, I'm disappointed we were only able to give you "Huit points"!

I still remember the BBC presenter saying: Belgium has 3 national languages, and yet they had to make one up in this song :D

Best song of this year! Ik had het de Belgen wel gegund!

This is so beautiful...

Thanks man, as a Belgian I really appreciate you saying that.

one of my favorite ever ....amazing

2020 😍

I love this song very well !

This song was on my mind for 10 years until I this year finally searched it after all those years. I still love this song and I was even able to sing along. :)

amazing song i'm lovin' it !

Beautiful song

This was very original not only the song but the coreography, simply and beautiful, and I agree that it deserved to win.

Mon Dieu!!! Cette chanson a déjà 20 ans! Véritable coup de génie de la part de Urban Trad qui chante dans ce langage universel dont personne ne comprend rien mais c'est ça qui a fait leur force à l'Eurovision. Ils ont malheureusement dû se contenter d'une 2ème place alors que la 1ère place était largement méritée. Je ne me lasse pas d'entendre cette chanson, même au bout de 20 ans!!!🤍🤍👋👋👍👍
