Kõrbekuumuses liiva
Lendab kui jääkülma lund
Öö peagi laotamas tiivad
Rändajaid saatma jääb tuul

See on tee nad rändavad nii päevast päeva
See on tee nad rändavad siis ajast aega
See on tee ta nähtamatu rajana kulgeb
Nende ees ta ootab kui riskida julged

Külmunud hingi vaid saadab
Kuuvalgus varje neist loob
Päikesekiirena sooja
Hommik taas endaga toob

See on tee nad rändavad nii päevast päeva
See on tee nad rändavad siis ajast aega
See on tee ta nähtamatu rajana kulgeb
Nende ees ta ootab kui riskida julged

Nad rändavad nii päevast päeva
Nad rändavad siis ajast aega
Ta nähtamatu rajana kulgeb
Ta ootab kui riskida julged

Üle mägede taevasse kaigub hääl

See on tee nad rändavad nii päevast päeva
See on tee nad rändavad siis ajast aega
See on tee ta nähtamatu rajana kulgeb
Nende ees ta ootab kui riskida julged
See on tee

Urban-Symphony-Randajad
English Translation

The Nomads

In the desert heat, the sand
blows like ice-cold snow
The night soon spreads its wings
Nothing but the wind to escort the nomads

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk

It carries only frozen souls
The moonlight makes their shadows
Warmth in a ray of sunlight
is what the morning brings once again

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk

They wander from one day to the next
They wander from one life to the next
It weaves an invisible path
It waits until you are ready to take the risk

A voice echoes across the mountains up to the heavens

That is the way they wander from one day to the next
That is the way they wander from one life to the next
That is the way it weaves an invisible path
on them, it waits until you are ready to take the risk
That is the way

  1. Yep I agree with Liza. It is absolutely one of the best Eurovision 2009 songs! I love it! But.. we all have different tastes…

  2. Matina YOU ARE STUPID !!!!!!!!!
    THIS SONG IS PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!
    It is not my favourite but it is so cool !!!!!!!!!

  3. i really liked this song,sorry but i forgot which place did estonia got something like 5th or 6th????It was much better than last year 🙂

  4. I’m from Azerbaijan and we placed 3rd. But to be honest, I’m sure that this song should have been first and there shouldn’t have been second and third to honor it.

  5. Estonia’s song is good. Mostly i like the language, witch is strange for me because I am from Greece. I like singing it!

  6. I’ve found a different english translation, and I like it better 😀 I’ve also looked through an Estonian dictionary, and I think it fits a little better too.

    The nomads

    In the desert heat the sand
    Blows like ice-cold snow
    The night soon unfurls its wings
    Leaving nothing but the wind to escort the nomads

    It is the way
    They wander from one day to the next
    It is the way
    They wander from one time to the next
    It is the way
    It weaves an invisible path
    Before them
    Waiting until you dare to take the risk

    It conveys only frozen souls
    The moonlight makes shadows of them
    Warmth in a ray of sunlight
    Is what the morning brings once again

    It is the way
    They wander from one day to the next
    It is the way
    They wander from one time to the next
    It is the way
    It weaves an invisible path
    Before them
    Waiting until you dare to take the risk

    They wander from one day to the next
    They wander from one time to the next
    It weaves an invisible path
    It waits until you are ready to take the risk

    A voice echoes over the mountains up to the heavens

    It is the way
    They wander from one day to the next
    It is the way
    They wander from one time to the next
    It is the way
    It weaves an invisible path
    Before them
    Waiting until you dare to take the risk
    It is the way

  7. I found the ACTUAL ‘english’ words to Urban Symphony. Not that which is posted on the website.

    Wanderers…

    In desert heat only sand
    Is blowing like cold icy snow
    Night is spreading its wings
    Over wanderers, windy and cold

    This is the way
    They are travelling day after day
    This is the way
    They follow forever through time
    This is the way
    It runs down invisible trails
    In front of them
    It awaits for your courage to try

    Frozen souls in the moonlight
    Travelling cast in the gloom
    Morning again will shine bright
    Sunbeams breaking through

    This is the way
    They are travelling day after day
    This is the way
    They follow forever through time
    This is the way
    It runs down invisible trails
    In front of them
    It awaits for your courage to try

    They are travelling day after day
    They follow forever through time
    It runs down invisible trails
    It awaits for your courage to try

    Across mountains a voice echoes up to the skies

    They are travelling day after day
    They follow forever through time
    It runs down invisible trails
    It awaits for your courage to try

    This is the way

  8. AMAZING SONG!!
    does anyone know where I could get the sheet music for the violin for this song?
    thanks!

  9. HEllo EStoniya AAAand the perfect girl [singer]!!!! Oh i was looking for the word of this beautiful song which hv touched my heart…you and your voice were so lovely…i love you!!!! for me you are vinner!!!!! KIsses and hugs to you !!!!
    i am girl from ARmenia!!!!!!

  10. This song is out of this world, and the girls look like they are from a fairytale, with such elegance! I kept listening to it over and over and over.

  11. i love this song!it’s just beautiful!
    i was so angry an dsad that it has not made one of the first three positions!

    elena from germany/ukrain

  12. No, Urban Symphony was a project created for the ESC. Sandra has made some performances individually. Listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfTvY7w3JZI and you may wonder why you like that song… Listen to the end… You may still wonder that you have heard it from somewhere… And then listen to “Rändajad” once again and you recognize that the first melodical row of the refrain of “I want to spend my lifetime loving you” is the same. The rhythm differs a bit. But this is it. The secret of the sixth place has been solved. 🙂 Maybe there is no rule how big the similarity with another song is allowed to be but anyway, nobody, even the Zorro one itself has not claimed. Maybe Zorro likes Sandra, too.

  13. My favorite!

    I voted for it from Germany.
    Congratulation for the 6th place.

    I heard estonian language the first time in my life, it sounds really sexy..:o)

    What are the plans for the foreign markets (like Germany)?
    Is there already a label? A distributor? A publisher?

    S. Z. from Germany..

  14. Definately the best song of the contest. It got my vote anyway….unfortunately, most Brits don’t like films/music they don’t know the words to! I think more songs shoud be in their native language…it’s one of the reasons I watched and loved the contest when I was a kid.
    Anyway, I hope this group go on and have the success they deserve. Any album available? I’ve been looking but no success as yet. Again, well done Urban Symphony, well done Estonia for choosing an excellent song!

  15. Definitely the best song on this year’s ESC. I voted for it from Croatia.

    It’s really shame that more people didn’t vote for that song, but this could be because most people don’t understand excellent music. This song has a perfect melody! I loved that song the first time I heard it, even though I didn’t understand a word. But after downloading lyrics I see that song also a nice theme. The theme reminds me on some of Nightwish’s songs, and the melody reminds me on New Age melodies (Era, Enigma, Vangelis…). It’s a sort of hypnotic. Excellent for nervous people :D.

    Btw. does Urban Symphony have any albums? Wikipedia doesn’t state much about Urban Symphony… 🙁 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Symphony)

  16. Unlike a lot of other English people, I didn’t think our entry was going to win over this song from Estonia. Estonia deserved to win, I love this song. I bought it from iTunes and have listened to it over and over again. And thank you to whoever posted the lyrics as I will be listening to the song and trying to pronounce the lyrics as I read them. Pity it didn’t win, but I am happy that I discovered it through ESC.

  17. This was one of the best Eurovisions for years, with many great songs. I LOVE this. It’s a shame it didn’t do better but I have downloaded it. It’s great to Tango to as well.

    I’m from the UK by the way.

  18. this song was my favourite! i still can’t believe that they couldn’t win. and the lead singer was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen (i’m a girl too, no misunderstandings :D)her voice is really soft and nice but appearently the juries couldn’t see it… what a shame.

  19. The song is perfect)))that’s goes without saying)))
    But Sandra Nurmsalu is really beautiful girl!!!! )))))

  20. Hi, neighbours!
    Really amazing song! See on tee nad rändavad nii päevast päeva… Super!! I just love this song! Well done!
    Justė, Lithuania

  21. I love these songs that are writen in different language.
    They are very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Good job ESTONIA keep up!!!!!
