Eurovision 1998 Estonia:
Koit Toome - "Mere lapsed"
Mere lapsed
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 vаid teineteiѕele
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 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
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
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 thiѕ path
Belong only to eаchother
Children of the sea
We made a deal and kept our promises
Now bags are packed and spirits high
Our waiting sailboat rocks impatiently
While dawn wakes up the sky
And as we leave the harbour lights behind
Our childhood home has set us free
So with a last look, we'll start again
As children of the sea
And baby, there's a whole new world out there
Together there'll be love and dreams to share
We'll challenge every storm that comes along
United with the power that we belong
And when the weather paints a battleground
With new horizons far away
We'll harness raging winds to lead us on towards a better day
'Cause, baby, there's a whole new world out there
Together there'll be love and dreams to share
We'll challenge every storm that comes along
United with the power that we belong
The waves of life must come and go
Sometimes we just go with the flow
Riding on the depth of our despair
There'll always be the wave that gets us there
And baby, there's a whole new world out there
And baby, there's a whole new world out there
Together there'll be love and dreams to share
We'll challenge every storm that comes along
United with the power that we belong
Baby, there's a whole new world out there
Together there'll be love and dreams to share
We'll challenge every storm that comeѕ along
United with the power, bаby, we belong
