Eurovision 2024 will see a collaboration of Estonia's number one rap group, 5MIINUST and folk duo, Puuluup. The former has been a dominating force in pop music in Estonia over the last six years and the latter is an award-winning internationally active zombie-folk (if you were to ask them) duo.
The translation of the song they'll be performing, (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi, is “We (really) don’t know anything about (these) drugs”. We have the info you need to know about the collaboration and the English translation of the lyrics.
The song is essentially about getting raided by police for drug possession, as told to Eurovision news site, wiwiblogs.

Who are 5MIINUST x Puuluup?
5MIINUST (viis miinust) means Five Minuses in English, are a hip-hop/rap group from Võsu in Estonia. The group are hugely successful in their country, with 200k monthly listeners in a country of only one million people. They’ve had six number-one singles in their home country.
Puuluup are a folk duo who describe themselves as “A pinch of surrealism, modern folklore and talharpa revival!”. The talharpa is the string instrument we see in the performance, originating from northern Europe. They combine the old and the new, by using traditional musical pieces, and mix in loopers and effect blocks.
Lyrics of (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi
We’re not junkies, we haven’t done anything
The dresses we have on are dumpster-find
TV show COPS and a police raid in the cottage
The only bag here is full of deposit bottles
We’re not junkies, we haven’t done anything
The dresses we have on are dumpster-find
TV show COPS and a police raid in the cottage
A visit from men in uniform? That’s totally ok
UUUUyEEEE
Listen to this now
We gon’ be done getting turnt
You can hear us tonight
But take this bag away
I don’t know drugs, I know soda and cider
Couldn’t tell the difference between vitamins and speed
UUUU
Listen to this now
We gon’ be done getting turnt
You can hear us tonight
But take this bag away
Russulas and champignons, where are your threads?
You turn on my body like a kitchen stove
Ducklings are so small, but poppies are so tall
We avoid intoxicating substances, that’s something rich people do
Present early in the morning, and crowing like roosters,
My candies were taken away by some sad-faced girls
Viiriana Vikka
Intoxicating substances we avoid cause we’re not rich
in the backroom of the hut, there are only IPAs on the table
And the sunglasses are for eye pupils, well, actually for the laughs obviously
You can see right through them if you’ve made it to the front row
Shut up, I haven’t done anything
I have only been surrounded by this dance
Yea
Shut up, I haven’t seen anything
I have only been surrounded by this dance
Yea
UUUU
Listen to this now
We gon’ be done getting turnt
You can hear us tonight
But take this bag away
I don’t know drugs, I know soda and cider
Couldn’t tell the difference between vitamins and speed
UUUU
Listen to this now
We gon’ be done getting turnt
You can hear us tonight
But take this bag away
Russulas and champignons, where are your threads?
You turn on my body like a kitchen stove
