Koit was 19 years old here. 19 years later, he would go on to represent Estonia in Eurovision 2017. Now, he will try his luck in Eesti Laul 2021. EDIT: To think that Koit is now in his 40s, yet still looks as young and handsome as he was in 1998... looking forward to his participation in future editions of Eesti Laul.
I remember how funny it was when one of the hosts remarked he was born the same year Katrina won while she was giving the UK's points, and at least for a moment she had a clear "lord have mercy, that was just twenty years ago" look.
Beautiful, should have won back then. Estonia is the best eurovision country and it has my favorite language, please sing in it more often. love from Poland
my favourite that year. listenef to it over and over again. I tried to vote for it, but the line was engaged all the time. I was sure that the 12 points from Norway would go to you, Kooit, but unfortunateley not. I don't know if the line broke down. But personally, this is my 12 points from me. A wonderful and charming song. I agree, it should had ended higher. Much bettet than many songs which were ranked higher. Our own, Norwegian, included.
I'm ecstatic to see Koit Toome returning for a shot at Eesti Laul 2021! "Mere lapsed" is, without question, my favorite Estonian entry in ESC history; I hope Toome produces another work of art. 🇺🇸🇪🇪
Children of the sea We've given an oath, signed a contract Left the quay Our luggage is brought on board and the sails are set And the bow is turned towards dawn Look, in the stern goes into the horizon Even the last spire of our hometower So our childhood is left behind on the beach And our journey starts
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun Our bodies, souls and minds on this path Belong only to eachother You've got the sheet and I have the rudder in my hand Our goal binds us together We've got the same boat in the midst of these winds Where we can hold only eachother
One of the guys who wrote this song, Tomi Rahula, is now in charge of the Estonian song selection Eesti Laul :D And Koit Toome is also back in Eesti Laul 2021, so maybe next year in Eurovision?
Shoutout to the backing singer, he harmonizes very well with Koit and I find it adorable how at 0:48 he seems to sit there and genuinely finding it hard to believe he's at Eurovision. Wholesome stuff
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun Our bodies, souls and minds on this path Belong only to eachother My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun Our bodies, souls and minds on this path Belong only to eachother
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun Our bodies, souls and minds on this path Belong only to each other When space lies before us No matter if it's charged by the storm Our dreams and risks are mutual in a whirl of waves
We have an oath, a contract has been signed The ends of the quays have been rescued We luggage on board, sails hoisted Bow turned dawn Look, the stern goes into sight Also the last peak of the home tower That's how childhood falls behind us on the beach And our journey begins Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun We body, soul and mind along the way They only belong to each other When the space is wide in front no matter how charged it is We dream, the risks are common Also in the swirls of waves Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun We body, soul and mind along the way They only belong to each other You've got a snot on my hand A common goal binds us together One is the base we have, the central wind in them Where only we have to keep each other Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun We body, soul and mind along the way They only belong to each other Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun We body, soul and mind along the way They only belong to each other

![Koit Toome - Mere lapsed (laulusõnadega) [w/ lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
A perfect song for one to understand how beautiful this language is.
It does sound beautiful. I wish I understood it.
Koit was 19 years old here. 19 years later, he would go on to represent Estonia in Eurovision 2017. Now, he will try his luck in Eesti Laul 2021.
EDIT: To think that Koit is now in his 40s, yet still looks as young and handsome as he was in 1998... looking forward to his participation in future editions of Eesti Laul.
2:24 this piano solo will never cease of giving me chills.
Same with the piano intro
The five second "solo" sounds like the mid drop from Baywatch Opening Intro.
One word:Underrated
My winner😍😍😍
Today you can find him lost in Verona :)
LOL
And now he is telling us that *we could have been beautiful* !
@@eurovisiontszai9125 although he wasn’t the lucky one
Koit Toome in his "nice to meet you sir" era
Beautiful song, smooth voice!! Definitely deserve a better rank!!
At this time, four ESC 2017 singers (Ilinca, Blanche, Isiah and Kristian) weren't even born!
I remember how funny it was when one of the hosts remarked he was born the same year Katrina won while she was giving the UK's points, and at least for a moment she had a clear "lord have mercy, that was just twenty years ago" look.
Beautiful, should have won back then. Estonia is the best eurovision country and it has my favorite language, please sing in it more often. love from Poland
From Ireland 12pts we love a good ballad.
still love it, will always love it!

a great voice !!! a really good singer... his voice is so special and so melodic
He has been 2 times in Eurovision and he has been my winner both times❤️
He sjould have gone to Rotterdam this year!
"Verona" too? If yes, same here. 1998 ans 2017 are amazing.
Still the handsomest Eurovision performer... not wanting to be shallow or anything
montmorencymarmot "Handsomest" is the _baddest_ superlative…
@@joshukaunarak 'baddest' is the worst superlative...
@@eurovisioncyan9550 r/whoooooosh
We have Stefan now ;)
This is the funnest comment!
Remember this very well... this song made me to fall in love with Estonian music...💙🖤🤍
Yellow my favourite colour of the estonian flag
Sweet song....nice performer

Children of the sea
We've given an oath, signed a contract
Left the quay
Our luggage is brought on board and the sails are set
And the bow is turned towards dawn
Look, in the stern goes into the horizon
Even the last spire of our hometower
So our childhood is left behind on the beach
And our journey starts
So cute
NOW I REALIZE HE WAS IN 2017!!!!
after representing Estonia twice, he can no longer be found as he is lost in verona
There are enough fans to go to Verona to find him.
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new
Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun
Our bodies, souls and minds on this path
Belong only to eachother
You've got the sheet and I have the rudder in my hand
Our goal binds us together
We've got the same boat in the midst of these winds
Where we can hold only eachother
One of the guys who wrote this song, Tomi Rahula, is now in charge of the Estonian song selection Eesti Laul :D And Koit Toome is also back in Eesti Laul 2021, so maybe next year in Eurovision?
Estonians - The Singing Nation. Beautifully singing people ❤
This is not an easy task to pull through. And he did a great job!!
Piano playing: Exc
Singing: Exc
Is he really the one playing the piano though? Isn't it the orchestra?
@@aleksanderpagels288 2:30: you can clearly see him playing!
Shoutout to the backing singer, he harmonizes very well with Koit and I find it adorable how at 0:48 he seems to sit there and genuinely finding it hard to believe he's at Eurovision. Wholesome stuff
I'm so sad that us Finns never bring this kind of quality music to Eurovision. And then we wonder why we do so bad.
Last year of the orchestras - :(
Think he might be in the final this year 2017 - with Verona - great singer.
Jan Kench He will be in Eurovision!
The song ended up not qualifying. 😭
@@redster2249 And this year he was ROBBBBBED! Poor Koit.
J adore
Guys, he's returned from Verona
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new
Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun
Our bodies, souls and minds on this path
Belong only to eachother
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new
Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun
Our bodies, souls and minds on this path
Belong only to eachother
My darling can you understand everything ahead of us is new
Now in the rain, in the wind, in a blaze of the sun
Our bodies, souls and minds on this path
Belong only to each other
When space lies before us
No matter if it's charged by the storm
Our dreams and risks are mutual in a whirl of waves
Oh it's beautiful. Get tears.....
It's beatiful song. I don't speak Estonian, can anybody have translate of this song???:)))
Mere lapsed meaning. Sea kids. You're welcome.
We have an oath, a contract has been signed
The ends of the quays have been rescued
We luggage on board, sails hoisted
Bow turned dawn
Look, the stern goes into sight
Also the last peak of the home tower
That's how childhood falls behind us on the beach
And our journey begins
Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us
Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun
We body, soul and mind along the way
They only belong to each other
When the space is wide in front
no matter how charged it is
We dream, the risks are common
Also in the swirls of waves
Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us
Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun
We body, soul and mind along the way
They only belong to each other
You've got a snot on my hand
A common goal binds us together
One is the base we have, the central wind in them
Where only we have to keep each other
Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us
Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun
We body, soul and mind along the way
They only belong to each other
Do you understand, honey, everything new is ahead of us
Now in the rain, in the wind, inside the sun
We body, soul and mind along the way
They only belong to each other
Rotterdam 2021 could have been Beautiful now with Koit.
He should have been the lucky one, yes!
1998: "Nice to meet you sir"
2017: "Your daughter calls me daddy too"
By far the best entry that year! Hadn't it been for televoting he would have done much better.
Kuin voittaja!
I had two days old hehe 😂 My winner that year 😍
amazing winner aksjdkdjd
19 years, thank you! ,
Lyrics (from lyricstranslate.com):
Meil vanne antud, leping sõlmitud
Kai otsad lahti päästetud
Me pagas pardal, purjed heisatud
Vöör koitu pööratud
Näe, ahtris silmapiiri sisse lä'eb
Ka viimne kodutorni tipp
Nii lapsepõlv meist randa maha jääb
Ja algabki me retk
Kas mõistad, kallis, kõik meil uus on ees
Nüüd vihmas, tuules, päikselõõsa sees
Me ihu, hing ja meel sellel teel
Kuuluvad vaid teineteisele
Kui laiub pärani ees avarus
Ükskõik las laetud rajust see
Me unistused, riskid ühised ka lainte keeristes
Kas mõistad, kallis, kõik meil uus on ees
Nüüd vihmas, tuules, päikselõõsa sees
Me ihu, hing ja meel sellel teel
Kuuluvad vaid teineteisele
Sul soodiots, mul tüür on peos
Siht ühine meid kokku seob
Üks on alus meil, kesk tuuli neid
Kus ainsana meil hoida teineteist
Kas mõistad, kallis, kõik meil uus on ees
Kas mõistad, kallis, kõik meil uus on ees
Nüüd vihmas, tuules, päikselõõsa sees
Me ihu, hing ja meel sellel teel
Kuuluvad vaid teineteisele
Kas mõistad, kallis, kõik meil uus on ees
Nüüd vihmas, tuules, päikselõõsa sees
Me ihu, hing ja meel sellel teel
Kuuluvad vaid teineteisele
Who goes after being lost to Uku Suviste in the Estonian NF in 2021?
