I was 15 when they sang it in here istanbul and I always listen to this song. After 10 years later I visited Riga as a erasmus student and listen to this song in the biggest square. It was so emotional moment.

I still can't believe that this is the only year that Latvia sent a song in their native language...

Respect! Labas dienas, braļukas! I do think that this one was best from Latvia. Kinda sad, but hoping for 2027 to have something native and powerful.

This song made me want to learn Latvian. It still does to this day.

I have no idea why, but this song still pops into my head every now and then. I can't believe it's been 16 years!

seriously, why has latvia never sent another song in latvian? it's a beautiful language that's very underrated! this song oozes happiness, latvia should've qualified!

Whole song should be in this style, not sweet as rest of song.

This song is permanently stuck in my head. Took me 10 years to figure out what it even was, I couldn't remember.

Should have qualified. Great rock song and the only time they had a song in Latvian.

One of the most underrated songs in esc history

I never stop listen this.. istanbul..

I’m from Latvia I remember recently hearing this song on the radio with a little interview with Fomins before the song. He said that the whole song was written as a joke. They entered the competition as a joke. Then my mother comments that the place they got was a joke as well...

Welcome to Latvian rock'n'roll!!!!! Fomins is a rock legend, maybe should have sang in English so people understand better, but who cares, amazing entry. Proud to be Latvian.

I am still upset that this masterpiece got robbed of the first place in the Eurovision song contest

I was born in 2004, on November 20th. 20+11=31. This song got 31st place in the contest, so I had to come and give it a listen

I love this song and it should have won the Eurovision song contest and it should have made the final of the Eurovision song contest and it is a fantastic song and i love it

its amazing sveiki bralis

(latvian here) I absolutely love this song and i think its so sad we don't send more songs in Latvian (tis is the only one we have sent that is fully in latvian), but i can see why. The only time we sent a song in Latvian, we got 17th place and didn't make it to the finals. And also i think Latvian musicians are still stuck in the 2000's and early to mid 2010's mindset, that you have to send an English song to Eurovision to be succeed, cuz in this years (2023) Supernova, there were no songs fully in Latvian. Really hope to see an eurovision song in Latvian sometime in the near future :(

*Dziesma Par Laimi (A Song About Happiness)* Lyrics with English translation: Nana, nana nanana Nana nanana nana - Kad nav vairs nekā, es domāju tā - When there is nothing left, I think so Man paliek vēl dziesma ko nodziedāt tev - I still have the song you sang for me Par laimi, ko liet, Par ceļu, ko iet - For happiness, what to pour, For the path that goes Kā vilcieni projām pa metāla sliedēm - Like trains away on metal tracks - Uz tālajām pieturām Ziemeļpolā - To the distant stops at the North Pole Kur brīvība dzīvo, bet vairāk nekā - Where freedom lives, but more than Ik reizi, kad tālumā brīnumu jūt - Every time you feel a miracle in the distance Es vēlos vēl tuvāk tev būt - I want to be even closer to you - Nekā, kad nav vairs nekā - Nothing when there is nothing left Es vēlos tev nodziedāt dziesmu par laimi - I want to sing you a song about happiness Kas nāk, kas negaidot nāk - What comes, what comes unexpectedly Un paņem aiz rokas mūs - And take us by the hand Dziesma par laimi, kas būs - A song about the happiness that will be - Kad nav vairs nekā, es domāju tā - When there is nothing left, I think so Man paliek vēl debesīs skrejošais vējš - I still have the wind flying in the sky Un saule, kas riet, tālie ceļi ko iet - And the sun that sets, the long roads that go Pār septiņiem kalniem un deviņām jūrām - Over seven mountains and nine seas - Uz siltajām zemēm kā gājputni jau - On the warm lands as migratory birds already Tur viss ir kā sapnī, bet tevis tur nav - Everything is like a dream there, but you are not there Ik reizi, kad tālumā brīnumu jūt - Every time you feel a miracle in the distance Es vēlos vēl tuvāk tev būt - I want to be even closer to you - Nekā, kad nav vairs nekā - Nothing when there is nothing left Es vēlos tev nodziedāt dziesmu par laimi - I want to sing you a song about happiness Kas nāk, kas negaidot nāk - What comes, what comes unexpectedly Un paņem aiz rokas mūs - And take us by the hand Dziesma par laimi, kas būs - A song about the happiness that will be - Hey... - Nana, nana nanana Nana nanana nana Nana nanana nana Nanana nana, nanana nana nana - Nekā, kad nav vairs nekā - Nothing when there is nothing left Es vēlos tev nodziedāt dziesmu par laimi - I want to sing you a song about happiness Kas nāk, kas negaidot nāk - What comes, what comes unexpectedly Un paņem aiz rokas mūs - And take us by the hand Dziesma kas būs - The song that will be Dziesma par laimi, kаs būѕ - A song about the happiness that will be

I remember loving this song and not understanding why it didn't do better. This performance wasn't great, though. Any Latvians out there wanna tell me what they're singing about?

+Licia Prehn The song title translates to "Song about happiness". It's basically about wanting to have your loved one next to you wherever you go. The lyrics mention various places that imply physical detachment from your loved one, such as the North Pole, seven mountains apart and nine seas away. So this song addresses that by stating that despite the current physical detachment, there is happiness that awaits us in the future.

I think this is just amazing. :)
