The same show made a song about estonians own crisis saying how our country will end, noone can save us, even IMF. ect. Dont take this seriously, we love you latvians and lithuanians.
Im latvian and its only good when you can laugh at yourself. Ith healthy really, so i really like this song. Beside, musically its a rather good song too. Baltic states will stay united.
Its very good to see that people are starting to take this song as a little humor and you can see fro mthis song, that Estonians are supporting Latvians. In my opinion, (if you understand the words) then this song made Estonians and Latvians closer to each other! Go Estonians and Go Latvians! We were team in history and we will be in future as well!
Definately best song from estonians about latvians so far! :D Indeed, would be great if god would be estonian, we wouldn't be in so deep shit as we are now ... ^^ Sad that we can't produce anything similiar back, since you're in every possible ways far ahead from us, latvians ... :( Greets, one of läti disko'ers. :D
Cheers from Estonia. This song was about how hard the economic crisis hit Latvia. But we stand with our Latvian and Lithuanian brothers. We need more cooperation between us 3.
Hey Latvians, if you think it's offensie, please read the translation - it's just friendly humour AND if that's not reassuring, look at the words when he sings: if God was estonian, he wouldn't harrass/tease latvians like this
You have to know how to laugh over yourself. Its just purely a comedic song and its just for laughs and giggles. Don't take it personally, its a half true song about times being rough and its rough even here in Estonia. LATVIA&ESTONIA RULE!!
i am latvian. and song is wery great :) thanks for that! of course, situation is not so bad, but it's good to see that our brothers, Estonians, know and care about our shit :D
It's likely that the riots were organized by Russia and its local provocateurs like the bronze night in Tallinn last year. So it is useless to blame the latvians. And don't take the song too seriously, it is mostly aimed against Estonia's politicians who often claim that things could be much worse as in Latvia.
Heeey, believe me, it really wasn't meant to be insulting. I know that the crisis is a touchy issue for a lot of people and I understand that for some the song sounds insulting.. people understand humour differently. But at least know that we're not purposefully trying to insult you, you Latvian people hold a special place in our hearts. :D I personally do find the song pretty funny and I'm sure I would just the same if it was about Estonia. We're both in the same situation after all.
wow good one, hey you latvians whos watched this and are a littlebit upset, dont worry it maybe the first joke about latvians in estonia, at least i haven't heard none before(most jokes are against russians), so be happy and translate some latvian jokes to english/estonian so we could laugh too ;)
guys personally i dont take it personal.. we need each of us to laugh about ourselves too, i think it was'nt made as a bad enemy song.. actually i LIKE MUSIC! :)
If GOD was Estonian, he would never do Latvians any injustice. Because Latvians are our brothers.They help us, and we help them.Cheers to all latvians.
actually the song is called "Traffic - Kesköödisko", which was already released in August 08, this right here just has different lyrics made by poet Contra for the comedy show.. So anyway, it couldnt have been sent to Eurovision cuz the melody itself would have been plagiarism, since its shown before.
If god would be an Estonian... he wouldn't tease Latvians like this. If god would be an Estonian... Latvia wouldn't be in lurch like this. And I think theese lines shows that this song is not tended to be offensive!
Of course theres no fury against Latvia. And yes if you listen to the end of the song then you realize its not laughing about you. We stay united :) Traffic on hea.
Great song! It surprised me how good actually humor have Estonians. C`moon Latvian... Keep our heads up and let`s smile together with all Baltic :) 100% Latvian girl
Katru reizi kad uznāk depresija klausos šito dziesmu, uzreiz parādās stimuls kaut ko mainīt dzīvē. Neticami ka pagājuši jau 14 gadi, dziesma joprojām super. Igauņi rullē.
traffic didnt write the lyrics, Contra did. And the song wasnt created for "five minute fame". Besides, trying to find a point in a song written for a comedyshow, is dumb.
As Latvian I can only say that this song is quite good. Every single Latvian with good sense of humor and reasonable intelligence level will take it as a true joke. And it is almost ture! Only one thing - our flag is a symbol of our country and it is very impolite to use in song like this!
i respect latvia, we have great past together and i think that estonians have atleast same ammount of toes as latvians... ei tasu läti kohra midagi sitasti öelda me olema alati kokku hoidnud ja parem kui se ka nii jääks
Some take it personally, because they haven't read the translation. The guy with the flags on his head, "Parex pank" and "konservi" sounds fairly insulting, but it really isn't.
There is also rough translation available in the internet. As posting links here is forbidden, search for the "läti disko translation". It should take you to the ESC page.
Heheee, good job North neighbors. I liked it. It had good humor, and I had a good laugh at myself and my country. For my fellow Latvians I can say - this song is not an offense on us, every person should be able to laugh at himself sometimes. Brāļiem latviešiem es gribētu teikt, ka šī dziesma nebūt nav domāts kā aizvainojums, jo teksts dziesmai ir tik tiešām labs. Ir ja'mak šad un tad pasmieties arī par sevi.
Vaaga hesti! :) Without words song sounds good. With words... well... critics are in place ;) I hope Estonians and Lithuanians will not have this fate as we do!
I don't understand why some people take this personally. Even more, unlike some latvians, these people don't say that their neighbours are slow, stupid and so on. this song is about situation not about people (except goverment is mentioned once). and it is not in one way offencive. songs and jokes about people and things in estonia arve usually more direct. there was one "Erisaade" about the question "is our prime minister from this planet or not" and so on. best of luck:)
Tak par šo nav jādusmojas! Būtu priecājušies ka par šo krīzi joko vismaz kāds. Labāk šādi nekā tikt kritizētiem vai atstumtiem.. :) Kad dzirdēju reklāmā domāju ka nav tas labākais ko viņi varēja izdarīt bet nu tomēr dziesma normāla un teksts arī smieklīgs ja nebūtu konservi pieminēti vispār nebūtu par ko gausties. žetons izpildītājam! :) (Y)
yeah latvians. really we love you and adore you. this song is realllly only because they were trying to make fun, but in my opinion this attempt by them totally failed. you latvians are great
Jā protams mēs jau neesam vainīgi visu jau tā valdība sabojā, vispār gāžam valdību noteikti no nekurienes vai piem. Krievijas parādīsies labāki valsts vadītāji
Yeah, it's no wonder, that estonians wrote a song about us. We had "Savādi Gan" that were making fun of the 'slow' estonians. 'Dots devējam atdodas' Bet kauns par savējiem, kuri neprot uzņemt kritiku, jo patreizējais stāvoklis valstī patiešām ir pakaļā.
What's wrong with some of you? Can't take a joke? I'm Latvian as well and I've gotta say I love the song both from a purely musical point of view and about the points it makes. Having read the English translation, I have to say I see it as really good satire. Although it probably would be even funnier if I understood Estonian. I don't see the to be hostile to me as a Latvian.
The same show made a song about estonians own crisis saying how our country will end, noone can save us, even IMF. ect. Dont take this seriously, we love you latvians and lithuanians.

Go Estonians and Go Latvians! We were team in history and we will be in future as well!
Es paņirdzu!!! :)
Nav ko pērties... bāliņi Igauņi normālu lipekli iedziedājuši!
First time 2 singers will be for Latvia, tnx ;)
Nice song, ;)
Definately best song from estonians about latvians so far! :D Indeed, would be great if god would be estonian, we wouldn't be in so deep shit as we are now ... ^^
Sad that we can't produce anything similiar back, since you're in every possible ways far ahead from us, latvians ... :(
Greets, one of läti disko'ers. :D
Cheers from Estonia. This song was about how hard the economic crisis hit Latvia. But we stand with our Latvian and Lithuanian brothers. We need more cooperation between us 3.
Haha super! Molodci nashi bratja Estonci, jumor ne terjajut ;) Privet iz Rigi!
Lots of love from Latvia. Great song! :)
we love you latvians, you are part of estonia and this song is just to have fun.
Hey Latvians, if you think it's offensie, please read the translation - it's just friendly humour AND if that's not reassuring, look at the words when he sings: if God was estonian, he wouldn't harrass/tease latvians like this

we love you too estonians, and i can`t stop singing along this song, well as along as i can of course. :D
Hilarious!
And it's not like they're bad-mouthing Latvia - we stick together, right? Just some dark humor.
ESTI POISI rullē! :D
Sakarīga dziesmiņa,ieteiktu to noteikt par Finanšu ministrijas himnu! :D
i am latvian.
and song is wery great :)
thanks for that!
of course, situation is not so bad, but it's good to see that our brothers, Estonians, know and care about our shit :D

i'm from LV too, i like it. :D
I am from Latvia but i love this song ,very cool song !!!!!!
guys personally i dont take it personal.. we need each of us to laugh about ourselves too, i think it was'nt made as a bad enemy song.. actually i LIKE MUSIC! :)
If GOD was Estonian, he would never do Latvians any injustice. Because Latvians are our brothers.They help us, and we help them.Cheers to all latvians.
I love this song too!
ok but i don`t understand a half of it anyway :/
Hello from Latvia :)
cheers
oh, gosh, some latvians don't have any idea about sarcasm. this song is funny and even trendy:)
actually the song is called "Traffic - Kesköödisko", which was already released in August 08, this right here just has different lyrics made by poet Contra for the comedy show.. So anyway, it couldnt have been sent to Eurovision cuz the melody itself would have been plagiarism, since its shown before.
:D this is soo good!!!
Better than the original version
thanks! good song ;)
If god would be an Estonian...
he wouldn't tease Latvians like this.
If god would be an Estonian...
Latvia wouldn't be in lurch like this.
And I think theese lines shows that this song is not tended to be offensive!
Of course theres no fury against Latvia. And yes if you listen to the end of the song then you realize its not laughing about you.
We stay united :)
Traffic on hea.
@ItiJantra
Every estonian who loves latvians, thumbs up!!!
llätlastel on ju kõik parem... isegi naabrid...
I love this song :D sounds great!
Latvians have a lot of jokes about estonians, i thing its about time that estonians make a joke about latvians :P
(btw it not so bad..)
erisaade is a talkshow and one of our poppularest poem writer is doing a parodi song for every show!
man , piemeeram, biits baigi patiik :D
visu cienju Igaunju braaljiem!!!
Täiesti geniaalsed sõnad! Ja laul ise oli juba originaalis väga hea.
Lūk, Letiņi mīļie, mums atriebība par tiem visiem Igauņu jociņiem gadu desmitu garumā! :D
Great song! It surprised me how good actually humor have Estonians. C`moon Latvian... Keep our heads up and let`s smile together with all Baltic :)
100% Latvian girl
lol! most of estonians call latvians 6-toes people.
estonians have lots of humor. so latvians dont be angry to us. Take this as Joke. but not as Not Joke.
mida nad räägivad siin?
lätlased :)
I love this song!!! Thank you estonians! All is truth!!!
Lieliski! vismaz igauņi saprot, kādos sūdos esam! mēs tik nekā nesaprotam!
Katru reizi kad uznāk depresija klausos šito dziesmu, uzreiz parādās stimuls kaut ko mainīt dzīvē. Neticami ka pagājuši jau 14 gadi, dziesma joprojām super. Igauņi rullē.
i like song, and now i read this sogn's words in Latvian.. good job. ;) :D
traffic didnt write the lyrics, Contra did. And the song wasnt created for "five minute fame". Besides, trying to find a point in a song written for a comedyshow, is dumb.
you do relize this is a comdey show?
Traffic wasn't the one who made this song. An estonian poet/comedian Contra made this song.
As Latvian I can only say that this song is quite good. Every single Latvian with good sense of humor and reasonable intelligence level will take it as a true joke. And it is almost ture!
Only one thing - our flag is a symbol of our country and it is very impolite to use in song like this!
Funny and true! :D
Hahaha that might be true! Except we sort of do have a crisis going on now, so apparently we're catching up with you guys. ;D
labi ka man nav parex banka ...
Dziesma super. Igauņi malači :)
respect from Latvia... I just hope, that you talk about our government, not our people..
more of this stuff, please!
Greetings from uks Läti pois! :D
Contra = THE BEST ;)
Latvians - take it easy and with humor!
awesome music.. will not anything about lyrics because i am latvian :D
i respect latvia, we have great past together and i think that estonians have atleast same ammount of toes as latvians... ei tasu läti kohra midagi sitasti öelda me olema alati kokku hoidnud ja parem kui se ka nii jääks

Smieklīga dziesma :D
great song :)
Сам из Латвии. Песня понравилась, как раз на злобу дня. Год с копейками безработный если что :)
haha XD

Latvieši vienmēr smejas pēdējie un visgardāk! Mūsu augšāmcelšanās stunda nav tālu! Un nav runa par naudu...
labs! man patīk! ko tur stresot!
the best! :))
yeee!finally Estonians can speak aloud about these stuffs that we latvians can't!
Good music in estonia;)
where can I get this song's audio version? I like :D
But I Love This Song.. rly. ;D
Little bit sad, that thats all true.
But thanks for smile ;)
pie visa vainīgi igauņi :D
Heheee, good job North neighbors. I liked it. It had good humor, and I had a good laugh at myself and my country.
For my fellow Latvians I can say - this song is not an offense on us, every person should be able to laugh at himself sometimes.

Without words song sounds good. With words... well... critics are in place ;) I hope Estonians and Lithuanians will not have this fate as we do!

Nice that you take it as a friendly joke. Cheers!:)
I don't understand why some people take this personally. Even more, unlike some latvians, these people don't say that their neighbours are slow, stupid and so on. this song is about situation not about people (except goverment is mentioned once). and it is not in one way offencive.

Tak par šo nav jādusmojas! Būtu priecājušies ka par šo krīzi joko vismaz kāds. Labāk šādi nekā tikt kritizētiem vai atstumtiem.. :)
Kad dzirdēju reklāmā domāju ka nav tas labākais ko viņi varēja izdarīt bet nu tomēr dziesma normāla un teksts arī smieklīgs ja nebūtu konservi pieminēti vispār nebūtu par ko gausties.
žetons izpildītājam! :)
(Y)
im wondering what that latvian with binokulars is symbolizing ? :)
yeah latvians. really we love you and adore you. this song is realllly only because they were trying to make fun, but in my opinion this attempt by them totally failed. you latvians are great
super. :D
where you have seen it? :D al latvians who i know can say only LOL LOL LOL about this song.. its awesome!
Igauņi, Igauņi ..... :D super čalīši :D
You are right ..
can someone translate songs lyrics?
Jā protams mēs jau neesam vainīgi visu jau tā valdība sabojā, vispār gāžam valdību noteikti no nekurienes vai piem. Krievijas parādīsies labāki valsts vadītāji
nice shit guys! i love the playful guitar riff. not sure about the lyrics though... however very insightful for me as a Latvian.
What? what's done for us?
vauvas vauvas, braļjuka! :D
Galvenais mācēt pašiem par sevi pasmaidīt :)
ha ha... it's funny stuff :D
But it's totaly true :D
Heel yeah, I'm latvian, but it's funny!!!
tere tere TRAKTORS
Good song. ;DD
Yeah, it's no wonder, that estonians wrote a song about us. We had "Savādi Gan" that were making fun of the 'slow' estonians. 'Dots devējam atdodas'
Bet kauns par savējiem, kuri neprot uzņemt kritiku, jo patreizējais stāvoklis valstī patiešām ir pakaļā.
what is erisaade like is it a network or just an online thing ???
Estonia needed to use this in Eurovision ! Will be in top 3 then !
What's wrong with some of you? Can't take a joke? I'm Latvian as well and I've gotta say I love the song both from a purely musical point of view and about the points it makes. Having read the English translation, I have to say I see it as really good satire. Although it probably would be even funnier if I understood Estonian. I don't see the to be hostile to me as a Latvian.
normala dziesma.. nu atbilst patiesiibai :D
Kauns par Latviju!!
