Wolves of the Sea was the Latvian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade performed by the group Pirates of the Sea.

It qualified from the second semifinal in 6th place. In the final, it was performed 10th following Belarus and preceding Croatia. At the close of voting, it finished in 12th place with 83 points.

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Don’t try to run, it’s all set and done
There’s a treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind
I hope you don’t mind
We are taking it all tonight
Just walk away, we will conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
Down to the core, we’re coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold, a chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land
The hook of our captain is looking at you
There’s no Peter Pan, so what can you do?
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
If you cry out to storm
We pirates will stand tall
A skull and crossbone flag is closing in
To see you fall
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be
With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We’re hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
We are wolves of the sea
