~~~ Lyrics ~~~

Europe let’s come together!
(Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)
It’s now or never!
I love you all!
(Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa)

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Bezoek m’n friends in France
Of neem de benen naar Wenen
Ik wil weg uit Netherlands
maar m’n paspoort is verdwenen

Heb gelukkig geen visum nodig
Om bij je te zijn
Dus neem de bus naar Polen
Of de trein naar Berlijn

Ik heb geen geld voor Paris
Dus gebruik m’n fantasie
Heb je een eurootje please
Zeg “merci” en “alsjeblieft”

Ik ben echt alles kwijt
Behalve de tijd
Dus ben elke dag op reis
Want de wereld is van mij

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
(Hey)
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
(Hey)

Ich bin in Deutschland
Aber Ich bin so allein
Io sono in Italia
Maar toch doet het pijn

Ben aan het vluchten van mezelf
Roep de hele dag om “help!”
Ja ik geef zelfs mensen geld
Maar d’r is niemand die me helpt

Ik hoef geen es-car-gots
Hoef geen fish ‘n chips
Hoef geen paella, no
Ik weet niet eens echt wat dat is

Zet de radio aan
Ik hoor Stromae met “Papaoutai”
Zal niet stoppen tot ze zeggen
“Ja, ja, dat doet-ie goed ey!”

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welkom in Europa
Blijf hier tot ik doodga
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
(Hey)
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa….

Welkom in Europa jongen!
(Hey)
Eu-ro-pa

Aan het einde van de dag
Zijn we allemaal mensen
Mijn vader zei me ooit
Het is een wereld zonder grenzen

Ik mis je elke dag
Is wat ik stiekempjes fluister
Zie je nou wel pa
Ik heb naar je geluisterd

~~~ Lyrics in English ~~~

Europe let’s come together!
It’s now or never!
I love you all!

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Visit my friends in France
Or take a long walk to Vienna
I want to leave the Netherlands
But my passport is gone

Fortunately don't need a visa
To be with you
So take the bus to Poland
Or the train to Berlin

I have no money for Paris
So use my imagination
Do you have a euro please
Say "merci" and "please"

I lost everything
Except time
So am travelling every day
For the world is mine

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!

Ich bin in Deutschland
Aber Ich bin so allein
Io sono in Italia
but still I feel pain

Am running from myself
Calling for "help!" all day long
Yes I even give people money
But there is no one to help me

I don't need es-car-gots
Don't need fish 'n chips
Don't need paella, no
I don't even really know what that is

Turn on the radio
I hear Stromae with "Papaoutai"
Won't stop until they say
"Yes, yes, he does that very well ey!"

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Welcome to Europe
Stay here until I die
Euro-pa-pa, Euro-pa-pa

Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Eu-ro-pa!
Euro-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa….

Welcome in Europe boy!

At the end of the day
we are all human beings.
My father told me once that
the world has no borders.

I miss you every day
is what I whisper to myself.
You see, dad,
I did listen to you.

[BlackScisir]

He was there. He sang his song. They'll never take that from him.

[GreyHashira]

In my opinion, it's even more special that he only has 1 performance as he said in his song ''we only have 1 time'' technically foreshadowing his disqualification and making it a more legendary performance to everyone there

[RDDYmm]

Anyone still watching this masterpiece in august?

[pacjenthdmapping]

Anyone still loyal to this masterpiece and watching this in July?

[shadymorsi]

In a complete twist of irony this will probably be the most remembered song of this Eurovision

[kodi]

He didn't even know how right he was when he said "All we got is this moment"...

[WirelessPlayToad]

He looks like the happiest person on earth during this performance. His positive energy, the PowerPoint presentation/goofy background effects and lyrics, and the cheering. There’s no way this song would’ve not at least landed top 3 if it weren’t disqualified.

[skgevilskeleton]

Anyone still watching this in August??

[jasiekjanusz]

Bro this guy is so kind. He accepted eurovision to his concert.

[Nuxlezyxeditz]

The face when he said "I LOVE YOU ALL!!" Is so sweet 😭😭😭

[SarTab-ovsr]

I am crying rn every" hey " was filled with so much energy and support we all know who realy won atleast in everyones hearts

[kmfvqzg]

He didn't become a winner, he became a legend🫡

[Yurixx_.]

'' I love you all! ''
*waves like the happiest kid on earth*

[lemonbeat]

The first person ever to win ESC that didn't even perform in the final. What a legend.

[Tiyaplays]

YOU LITERALLY SEE THE TEARS IN HIS EYES AWW 😢

[Thespacebetweenus]

It hurts how real was “all we got is this moment”. Best performance EVER in ESC.

[tatulax]

I dont care who won eurovision, this will ALWAYS be the winner for me!

[Liesbeth-qmds]

Lets make this the most matched Eurovision song ever

[prizzly]

"Europe, let's come together
It's now or never
I love you all"
Suddenly has a WHOLE different meaning now

[The_Yes-ysnr]

the audience made the loudest "Hey!" i have ever heard
