Leto svet was the Estonian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade performed by the group Kreisiraadio.
The song has a considerable amount of grammatical errors. For example, the Serbian words for "Summer lights" are actually "Letnje svetlo". "Svet" means "World" in Serbian.
It was performed third in the first semifinal following Israel and preceding Moldova. At the close of voting, it finished in 18th place with 8 points, failing to qualify from the final.

Ko ja sam? Račun molim
Nestalo mi je plina
Mi je plina
Dva dupla doboš torta
Mahuna, to je dosta
To je dosta
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Krompira, graška, luka
Jastoga, to je dosta
Sommerlicht, das ist Sommerlicht
Sommerlicht, das ist Sommerlicht
Sommerlicht, das ist Sommerlicht
Sommerlicht, das ist Sommerlicht
Krompira, graška, luka
Jastoga, to je dosta
Sardela, to je dosta
Mitäs nyt? Kesävalot nyt
Mitäs nyt? Kesävalot nyt
Mitäs nyt? Kesävalot nyt
Mitäs nyt? Kesävalot nyt
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Leto svet, eto leto svet
Who am I? Bill please
I ran out of gas
Out of gas
Two double drum cake
Bean pods, that's enough
That's enough
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Potatoes, beans, onions
Lobster, that's enough
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Potatoes, beans, onions
Lobster, that's enough
Sardine, that's enough
What now? Summer lights now
What now? Summer lights now
What now? Summer lights now
What now? Summer lights now
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Summer light, it's summer light
Trivia[]
- During the live performance, when the line "Mitäs nyt? Kesävalot nyt" ("What now? Summer lights now") was repeated, the last 'Kesävalot' was changed to 'Kesäpanot', which meant "Summer f***s", breaking the contest's rules against profanity. However, it is unknown if the group were punished for that.
- Due to the considerable amount of backlash the entry received, Estonia did away with Eurolaul, their previous national selection, replacing it with Eesti Laul from 2009.
