Diamond of Night

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diamond Of Night was the Estonian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, performed in English (the first time Estonia had not sung in Estonian, although a version was recorded in that language) by singer Evelin Samuel and violinist Camille. The Estonian version was titled Langevate tähtede aeg ("Time of shooting stars").

The song was performed twenty-third on the night (following Bosnia and Herzegovina's Dino and Béatrice with Putnici). At the close of voting, it had received 90 points, placing 6th in a field of 23.

The song is folk-inspired and is an ode to the moon, with Samuel asking it to guide her steps.

It was succeeded as Estonian representative at the 2000 Contest by Ines with Once In A Lifetime.
