Mere lapsed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mere lapsed (Estonian: "Children of the sea") was the Estonian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in Estonian by Koit Toome.

The song was performed twenty-third on the night (following Norway's Lars Fredriksen with Alltid Sommer and preceding Turkey's Tüzmen with Unutamazsın). At the close of voting, it had received 36 points, placing 12th in a field of 25.

The song is a piano ballad, with Toome singing about going on a sea voyage with his lover. The voyage also serves as a metaphor for the pair striking out on their own to start a new life.

It was succeeded as Estonian representative at the 1999 Contest by Evelin Samuel & Camille with Diamond Of Night.
