The Estonian version was titled "Langevate tähtede aeg" ("Time of shooting stars"), lyrics written by Kaari Sillamaa. 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. With Evelin and Camille, there were a harpist Saale Kivimaker on stage, as well as two backing vocalists, Anneli Tõevere and Maian-Anna Kärmas, the latter also a lyricist of that song. Maian-Anna Kärmas has described the birth of the English lyrics greatly in relation to the experience in 1998 when Evelin Samuel very narrowly lost a pass to Eurovision Song Contest. For entirely believing in Evelin Samuel, and the song written especially for the occasion, she then wrote a meaningful line now I can say it is my time to end end of the chorus. It was succeeded as Estonian representative at the 2000 contest by Ines with "Once In A Lifetime". References
