Sata Salamaa (English translation: "A Hundred Bolts of Lightning") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, performed in Finnish by Vicky Rosti and Boulevard.
The song was performed eighteenth on the night (following Cyprus' Alexia with Aspro Mavro and preceding Denmark's Anne-Cathrine Herdorf & Drengene with En Lille Melodi). At the close of voting, it had received 32 points, placing 15th in a field of 22.
The song is sung from the perspective of a woman telling her lover that, regardless of the adversity (the "hundred lightnings" of the title) they face in their love, "There's a thousand worlds out there, and one of them is ours" - in other words, they will triumph in the end.
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1988 Contest by Boulevard with Nauravat Silmät Muistetaan.
