To date " Dziesma par laimi " is the only Latvian Eurovision entry sung in Latvian : although the 2009 Latvian national preliminary round was won by " Sastrēgums " sung in Latvian by Intars Busulis , that number was rendered in Russian as " Probka " when Busulis performed it at the second semi-final for Eurovision 2009 ( Moscow was the host city for Eurovision 2009 ) . Debuting at the 2000 Contest has enabled Latvia to avail itself of the " free language rule " , as well as the prevailing wisdom that English-language songs place higher than those in other languages , and besides " Dziesma par laimi " and " Probka " only one Latvian Eurovision entry has not been sung in English : the 2007 entry " Questa Notte " sung in Italian by Bonaparti.lv
