Urban Trad - Sanomi

[Cakiprouti]

Fière que ça vient de mon pays ! :D

[appleism100]

wtf.

[titidu3131]

Really the best of 2003...

[dimketr]

for only 2 points did nt win that s very injustice

[MrEdje1975]

Belgium is much better in the ESC than The Netherlands! this is MAGIC

[Synthiotics]

try the flemish folk band laïs or anything by dead can dance.... much better than.. whatever this is.

[MatthiixNailpin]

they where the best !!

[TripokTheOneAndOnly]

Eurosong = A fucked up vote system.

[axilea67]

Boring song, totally stupid

[sckinnctn]

Wow, what a bunch of self-righteous, over inflated Euro trash garbage.

[Synthiotics]

@sckinnctn everything at eurovision always is...

[DarkOgr]

thanks from Russia,great song!!!!!

[GRgeoGR]

it's a very good,quality song,but not better than Turkey

Sertab!!

[9JAJAJAHAHAHA6]

@GRgeoGR Are you fucking retarded? Off course it is better than Setab, what the fuck are you saying? How can you be so stupid? How dare you comparing those 2 with one another?

[Haley452]

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

[jootai]

HATE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS SONG!! ITS NOT EVEN A SONG ITS A FEW WOMEN ON THERE PERIODS NAGGING AT EACHOTHER

[as1p23]

@jootai If you don't like it, then what are you doing here?

Go listen to some music you like insteed of letting your rage out on us.

[9JAJAJAHAHAHA6]

@jootai YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF, LOW-LIFE PIECE OF CROCODILE SHIT

[sergioprg]

Canción demasiado pero demasiado buena para un certamen como Eurovisión. Grandes voces, canción original, hecha en un idioma "imaginario" lo cual la "entendería" cualquiera. Grandes U Trad !!!

[MrDavid200311]

res dobro nič čudnega da je bila druga!

[Fragglevision]

Thumbs up if TV Tropes brought you here!

[TheGemo64]

Ils méritaient de gagner, même si la chanson turque était très bonne quand même.

[nmgscp]

Great lyrics!

[LiliLune21]

very great song !!!!

[hypersite]

Super d'avoir inventé un langue imaginaire, ça change de ce putain d'anglais omniprésent, depuis les années 80 toutes les chansons gagnantes de l'eurovision son en anglais quel honte.

[TheGemo64]

@hypersite La dernière victoire d'une chanson en français c'était en 1988 avec Céline Dion pour la Suisse.

[xFellazz]

thumbs up if you think this song was better than turkey!

[MorganLeFay9580]

@xFellazz We should have won!!!!

[virtualkme]

@MorganLeFay9580 I still don't understand why this song didn't won

2012 i'm still hearing it

[MorganLeFay9580]

@virtualkme Came in second, what was the best result Belgium had since 1986, the year Sandra Kim won with 'j'aime la vie'.

Since Urban trad, nothing even worth mentioning set foot on the ESC stage to represent Belgium. Not even close to Urban trad... :(

[SerBianCosmo]

One of the best ESC songs ever! Greeeeets from Serbiaaa

[bbBest95]

Sublime et transportant

Cela pourrait réunnir des nations

[kontrafa]

this song is really verygood!!! but sertab was better

[Szopik007]

It is funny, because they sing in NOT EXISTING language so they even could sing blah blah blahblahblah...

[XrobertloverX]

I love this song very well !

[TheStypsy]

ce groupe aurait du gagner l'eurovision cette année-la.

[dimketr]

real winner

[ikweetnix]

I lovethis song.

[devidia]

should've won

[croatianlover8]

best song ever made on eurovision

[yasiny166]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooodddd­dddddddddddddddd

[Metaldude1945]

Cool, Flemish bagpipes! :)

[TheNostalgies]

Its a best song of oll history of Eurovision

[catumendi]

Me encanta :) Ha sido la mejor sin duda, a pesar de que no hubiese ganado.

Que se noten las gaitas ;) !

[havbaba]

what does sanomi mean??

[jackm24111859]

what utter jiberish

[RingsOfNeptune]

It's the first song ever in eurovision with a made-up language.

[Txemasec]

12 points from spain!!

[SuperStefbef]

@synthiotics ik zou hierop kunnen antwoorden maar eigenlijk is het te zielig dus steek ik daar mijn tijd niet in, leeft gij maar rustig voort in uw 7de hemel, tot ge is een keer uit uw wolkje naar beneden valt

[sukiesoya]

Best Eurovision song for me

[HIHNickel]

I remember it so well.. even the gestures of the singers .. epic

[Dooozig]

kippenvel!

[SuperStefbef]

geweldig gewoon een van de weinige keren dat we ook is trots kunnen zijn om belg te zijn, gebeurt anders ni direct

[Synthiotics]

@SuperStefbef wat een zever toch weer... dat gij nooit trots zijt wil gewoon zeggen dat ge niks weet over uw eigen land.. zeker op gebied van muziek is het hier de 7de hemel (en dan heb ik het niet op banale boel gelijk urban trad of milk inc)

dat zoveel mensen gelijk gij zo onzeker zijn hangt aan uzelf tbh, moet daarom niet direkt beginnen zielig doen over heel ons land, met uw kalimerocomplex ;)

[o0ze]

it's funny that this (imo inane song) was chosen to represent belgium at ESC while a MUCH better song called kalima kadara (also sung in fantasy language) by laïs didn't even get through the preselections.... weeeeeeeird...

was this a flemish or francophone entry?

[anaisxxxlove]

@o0ze I thought it was a francophonic entry..

[jensasseloos]

@anaisxxxlove It was. You're right. But they send a Flemish group.

[eviken1982]

@o0ze Well it was a flemish group, but that year it must be a francophonic entry, and the walloons will never allowed that a flemish group represent our country, when it must be an entry of the walloons.

[ilAttack91li]

En realidad la canción esta e suajili Me encanta!

y si tiene significado

pero no se puede hacer una traslación

100% adecuada

adoro esta canción

[catumendi]

@ilAttack91li Perdona, no es suajili, es un idioma inventado.

Y se refiere a la cultura celta ;)

[Babyshamble01]

@MrHednah

this is not a language, just pure sound that doesn't mean anything

[MyAlex87]

12 points from spain, love the song :)

[lucenseeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Galicia is the paradise of this world...=) I'm proud of her and for my beautiful place... Great song! =)

[MrHednah]

What language are they actually singing?

[eviken1982]

@MrHednah A made-up language, it doesn't excist.

[aminot1989]

@MrHednah Esperanto

[maenayyad1]

i love it

[anathemios]

is this celtic? nice song... like ancient european tribe revival

[eviken1982]

@anathemios it is a made-up language, the language doesn't excist. The best my country ever sended.

[Slayingtodust]

@eviken1982 indeed

our country best ending in the ranking

[ruuul]

mas gallega imposible¡¡¡¡

[eviken1982]

The best song that rtbf has sended, in the years of 2000;

[Pluviam]

I just love this song! Amazing! Galician people representing Belgium! Wow!

[panarkas]

Is this in some existing language or the lyrics were contrived?

[MsKrisje15]

I still don't understand why this is our second best song in Eurovision!? It's not a bad song, but it's not that good to end second! OUr song last year from tom dice was much better, I think. But europe seems to like it, so no problem...

[eviken1982]

That is the only good song that the walloons have ever send. It must win, but now walloons only send shit to eurovision.

[yenglo25]

I like this song and their only winning sond and their 1999 entry Like the Wind, which my opinion was very underrated.

[Lemontree23]

This sould have won!

[ferrarike1]

THIS IS MUSIC !!!!!

[ferrarike1]

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

[manderas]

one of my absolute favorites song EVER in the history of eurovision and my fave in 2003 ! (but Turkey and Russia were my second favorites also great songs)

kussen van Griekenland xxx

[charmedgr1234]

better than turkey this should have win from greece

[basty4eva]

strange but good song.... has a good melody... but our song ( turkey) was mooorrreeee better and this song got 2 points less than ours... well, sertab deserved to be the winner!!! hehe thanks to slovenia, they made us to be the winner a si rememberxD but this song is really good, very original melody this morging, i sang this song at least 5 timesxD

[valdonsera]

Una canción, muy original, sin duda lo mejor de Belgica en estos últimos años, se merecian el puesto donde acabaron pero podrian haber ganado tranquilamente, pero alli estaba Sertab Erener, que tenia una cancion fantastica, fue un gran festival

[dadat2]

Een woord: prachtig!

I'd like to hang Swede for the ZERO!

[nmgscp]

@dadat2 And I have another reason to hang Swedes: Having stolen the 1991 contest from Amina from France. But I'm just kidding, I'm not for hangings. Anyway, although this one was very good, t.A.t.U. were, in a different style, also great in the same year and I wouldn't be able to choose between both. Turkey deserved more to win in 1997 or 2010, instead of 2003. But they did a great show in 2004 anyway, presenting the ESC. So, in a way, not for the song itself, Turkey had its organizing merit.

[Arnomaes96]

Lang Leve België!!!

[ripaza4]

what musical instrument does this guy use except from the bagpipe?

[witwanggibon]

I remember this very well. Belgium was winning, but then Belgium self gave twelf points to Turkey. In the end Belgium and Turkey had only two points difference.

[1ghens2]

Na ,,hun'' optreden is het ESC niet meer zoals het moet zijn.

Fantastische song.

Tijdloos.

[sukiesoya]

12 points from UK

[aqualitali]

good voıce good rythm have a 2 wınner eurovısıon 2003 turkeey and belgıum :))

greetıng from turkeey :)

[thearmyofcolour]

goosebumps

[MrDanyal974]

unfortunately i've heard that one of the men died a few time ago

[mrprideandjoy1]

and finally 12 points from Denmark, goes to...............Belgium

[giovanipruts]

this song sure is timeless , this doesn't get bored

[asilem4991]

Now that is what I call cool!

[laurentetienne]

Fatastique Didier Laloy à l'accordéon !

[ohdaesu1000]

12 points!!!!

[fifi995]

[*]

[TPSInternational]

[FelixK1976]

One of the best Eurovision songs ever. It so should have won!!

[MelodyVisionFan]

The drummer died =(

RIP Michael Morvan

[Njal117]

RIP Michel Morvan

[Leguyl]

RIP Michel :(

[nothingtoobig]

what language is this?

it doesnt sound anything like french, german, dutch or flemmish

[Arnenys440]

@nothingtoobig it's not a real language, it's made up

[Houston4444]

@nothingtoobig This song was the first song in the eurovision contest with a imaginary language. So the language doesn't exists

[RainbowStudioBelgium]

GO BELGIUM

we are better in the eurovision whti such songs.

as a true belg i now what i am talking about.

ishtar was just a mistake, but it tells again that this is our music.

a none exist language!

i can just only listen to this song, becouse it tels that belgium still have a chance.

[ps3bmfclancommunity]

@RainbowStudioBelgium haha wat fijn om een echte belg te zijn ;)

[wiganrugby]

feckin cool song, should have won hands down

[georgios188]

i like this very song congratulation 12 from greece

[Kangourou444]

12 points for belgium from me, for sure, it's the song which gave me the most emotion from a long time in the history of eurovision ( I'm french and was born in Comines france ) hi to all belgium people ! <3

[Kangourou444]

I love this song ! I have voted for urban trad the evening of eurovision ! they should have win ! for sure ! <3

[ProudTarjaholic]

this was one of our best entries ever, and it could have won if it wasn't for turkey... turkey was just a little better in my opinion and really deserved the win, no doubt.

grtz, a belgian

[MetalHippiePunk]

It's such a shame we don't use our folkbands like AedO, Kadril,...

We sent a stupid guy with a crappy guitar...

Can be the next title of a punksong. A la Sex Pistols XD

[cigarman35]

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

[JojoBerlin89]

That was very close that year i remember that :D but both did a good job, turkey and belgium

[MrHubarius]

vraiment magnifique et si original.

1ère classe !

[ShadyRyddle]

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

[AQWk1k1]

Tom Dice was 100% sh*t song...

okei ontopic:

I like this song, remins me estonian national songs.....

(when you try then you can but there estonian words, what heards very same...)

[AQWk1k1]

search: Vägilased - Kulla kutse

very cool estonian folk song...

[Cesarvialpando1988]

we should have won that year :( sadly friendly politics are also inside this contest so the real winning songs doesn't deserve the places they should have. just like this year with Tom Dice ...

[myhelen777]

La noche que escuché esta canción por primera vez se me pusieron los pelos de punta i las lagrimas a flor de piel......:'D

no creo que nunca mas en eurovisión podamos tener otra oportunidad de que nuestros sentds saboreen tal pieza musical,

somos unos afortunado los que gracias a dios aquel lejano dia habemos tenido la oportunidad de ver este eurovision.

[04Eleskirt04]

These are the real winners of Eurovision 2003.

The entry of Turkey was so shit . -.- So usual and boring.

[DaphneGB]

This is such a bullshit song.

[freerapstyle]

Everyway that i can :D:D

[rkumar32]

can you please translate it in english . thanks

[largeradiance]

@rkumar32 It's in a made up language. It doesn't mean anything. 

[19967891]

this song sucks and we won eurovision 2003 haha :)

[pkerlol123]

Wtf, they speak in Belgium 3 languages: french, dutch and german but wich languages is this ??

[brendpec]

@pkerlol123 an invented, fictional language

[Houston4444]

@pkerlol123 this song was the first language in the eurovision contest that was made up

[SaltNPepperish]

They should have won!! I liked Turkey's song but I don't think they should be in the Festival AT ALL since they're not at all European.

[poxolo30]

This song should have won the Eurovision contest!! Wonderful and surprising!!!

[Mazon8]

it's so mystical and pagan in a way

[realrubio]

esta es la mejor cancion de la historia de eurovision? x dios x dios acuestense

[tarabela88]

@realrubio claro, seguro que tu nunca diste una clase de musica para saberlo.... y además, a ti te ponen algo en plan chunda chunda y ya es lo mejor XD XD

[Franciezaa]

@realrubio no deberias extrañarte, para muchos esta es una de las mejores canciones de la historia de eurovision. Es una cancion mágica

[catherine007able]

je n'ai jamais oublié cette chanson.

[Elfenkind89]

wonderful song

[carlinhostucho]

the bagpipe is a galician one, and one of the singers, the younger one is also from galician origin. i really enjoy this song!!

[yoyogi01]

@carlinhostucho that's why spain gave 12 points to Belgium in 2003... but this year... 0 point !!! :-( ;-)

[regegege1]

amazing song, should've won

[SleepingAngel2]

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 ...

[ncayseele]

die vuile turken !

met overschot beste liedje,

kben der nog alsan nie goed van :x

[Umbeakos]

That sounds like Horehronie by Kristina from Slovakia!

[aneektipuric]

ik hou echt van dit lied!! het zindert door men diepste gedachten , later wil ik ook zo'n muziek maken en bekend worden :) :) ik werk al aan men carriere , maar het is nog even sleutelen aan m'n artiestennaam, ik had gedacht aan aneek ofzo

[TheFreakyVamp]

Cool! this phantasy langue sounds fascinating!!!

[Vaguanni]

one of best belgian entries!!

[sonytawapa]

me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Houston4444]

In Belgium, the Flemish Region and the Walloons switch every year by chosing what song goes to the eurovision song contest. In that year the walloons chose this song.

[F4Wildcat]

@Houston4444 EVerytime the walloons choose we scored high. And i say this as a Flemish.

Sandra Kim, Urban trad and several more

[coati069]

@F4Wildcat Maar dit jaar heeft Vlaanderen echt goed gekozen ! Die Tom Dice zou ver kunnen gaan. En ik zeg dat als een Waal ;)

[eviken1982]

@coati069 Ah ge zijt nen waal, hawel ik hoop dat de walen ons voorbeeld volgen en dat we dan volgend jaar weer een hoog resultaat scoren, het zou zonde zijn moesten we volgend jaar weer falen bij de halve finales. Want dienen copycat en kmg's trokken op niet veel, bij ons was ishtar echt een lachertje.

[samth8]

I believe that if this song participated this year, it would have won easily. Voters now are looking for more original songs like this one. We are bored from all these trash songs that won the previous years.

I hope this year slovakia wins...

[Moomilainen]

love it :)

greetings from Sweden

[eviken1982]

@Moomilainen But we didn't get any points of sweden, otherwise we were the winners.

[MartaPoppie]

i voted for this music :D

[manujfr]

fantastico!!!! una cancion super bonita aunque el idioma fuera inventado jejejeje pero me encanto!!!!!!!

[F4Wildcat]

so simple

yet thats why it was so great.

[boyz8508]

This song should have won the contest and would have...one of the western countries gave 0 points to belgium...it was Sweden...shame on you!

[wjk72]

@boyz8508 Yeah, nobody in belgium understood why Sweden gave us that terrible note... but anyway ^^

[eviken1982]

@wjk72 I know wy, because of sergio, he said the year before to the sweden, for laughing congratulations for the second place. And the sweden were insulted by that, so that's why they did not give us in 2003 a single point. So thank you sergio.

[ildico1]

They should have won it. I even bought their album... Great song!

[TheVirtu4l]

This was the only year I really supported my country in eurovision and i'm allready watching 15 years. This is one of the best song ever on eurovision!!!!

[SKITNICA95]

what language is this

[lulughis]

@SKITNICA95

bonjour, c'est une langue inventée , qui n'existe pas, ils l'avaient créée pour cette chanson... peut-être des fans de Tolkien....!!!

[miggydscho]

@SKITNICA95 It´s a fantasy-language.

[Houston4444]

@SKITNICA95

[carlstadt1579]

This is the best song on ESC ever! They should have won that year.

[stinodelatino]

@carlstadt1579 Unfortionatly Belgium has less to none immigrants so they cant vote for Belgium. The last 10 years have been about immigrants voting for their own country. Just look it up, greece, turkey no matter what song they make there allways in the top 10. And the reason Belgium got 2nd place is bcuz the song sounds eastern-ish. We made 6th place this year so i was really suprised, is the Eurovision about music again? Who will tell :D

[anto475]

@stinodelatino dude this song isn't eastern-ish it's celtic! and of course it's about music, that's mainly why norway and germany won in the past two years, and why places like serbia and russia with songs that people didn't like, but have big foreign populations didn't come close!
