"Sanomi" was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed in an imaginary language by Urban Trad.

The song was the twenty-second in the running order of the contest, following Latvia's F.L.Y. with Hello From Mars and preceding Estonia's Ruffus with Eighties Coming Back. At the close of voting, it had received 165 points, placing second in a field of 26.

The song is remarkable for a number of reasons. Perhaps the most readily apparent is that it was the first occasion that a song in a made-up language had been performed at the Contest (prompting the famous remark of BBC commentator Terry Wogan "Three languages to choose from and they had to make up their own").

Further, the song is remarkable for having featured in one of the closest finishes in Contest history, ultimately finishing with just two fewer points than the eventual winner (Sertab Erener with Everyway That I Can for Turkey) and only one point above third-placed Russia (t.A.T.u. with Ne Ver', Ne Boysia). This was also Belgium's most successful entry since Belgium's only win in 1986.

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 2004 Contest by Xandee with 1 Life.
