The lyrics of Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankoulov's song "Water" speak about a young boy named Mitra who is singing for the river and the forest. The first few lines of the song mention Mitra and his young, untidy appearance, riding a pony. The song then talks about Mitra's love for his girl and how he rides his pony back to her.
The repetition of Mitra's name throughout the song gives the impression that he is a local folk hero, someone who is admired and respected in the community for his love of nature, and especially the river. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, but they evoke a sense of peace, harmony, and love for nature.
The song is mostly instrumental with some chanting and singing, and it incorporates traditional Bulgarian folk music with modern electronic beats. The use of the tambura, a traditional Bulgarian stringed instrument, adds to the authenticity of the song's folk roots.

Literally the most ethnic, slavik and genuine song ever passed the contest. All songs should be this unique. Still my favourite after all these years.
