"Giorgio"' (English: George) was the Swiss entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1958 in Hilversum, performed by Lys Assia, who won the very first Contest with her entry "Refrain" and returned the previous year in Frankfurt am Main to represent her country with the song "L'enfant que j'étais", which finished in 8th place.
The first entry to be sung in multiple languages, it finished as runner-up with 24 points to "Dors, mon amour" performed by André Claveau of France.

Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Oh Giorgio vom Lago Maggiore
Giorgio, ein Weekend mit dir in Ascona
In Ascona am Lago Maggiore
Mit Chianti, Chianti, Chianti, Chianti, Chianti
Ein Weekend mit dir und Risotto
Risotto, Risotto, Risotto, Risotto, Risotto, Risotto
Oh Giorgio, ein Weekend mit dir in Ascona
In Ascona am Lago Maggiore con amore, molto amore
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Un ristorante alla piazza – “Cameriere!”
“Signore, Signorina, per favore, un espresso?”
“No – vino!”
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Oh Giorgio vom Lago Maggiore
Giorgio, ein Weekend mit dir in Ascona
In Ascona am Lago Maggiore
Mit Chianti, Chianti, Chianti, Chianti, Chianti
Ein Weekend mit dir und Polenta
Polenta, Polenta, Polenta, Polenta, Polenta, Polenta
Oh Giorgio, ein Weekend mit dir in Ascona
In Ascona am Lago Maggiore con amore, tanto amore
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Una notte sulla luna
Una barca – il lago, le montagne e le palme
Giardini, fiori, mimose
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Vom Lago Maggiore in Ascona
In Ascona am Lago Maggiore
Lalala lalala lalalala…
Mio caro! Mia cara!
Addio! Arrivederci mia bella, bella bionda!
Addio, ciao Giorgio
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Lala lalala lalala lalalala…
Lalala lalala lalalala…
Oh Giorgio, Giorgio
Oh George, George
Oh George from the lake Maggiore
George, a weekend with you in Ascona
In Ascona at the lake Maggiore
With chianti, chianti, chianti, chianti, chianti
A weekend with you and risotto
Risotto, risotto, risotto, risotto, risotto, risotto
Oh George, a weekend with you in Ascona
In Ascona at the lake Maggiore with love, much love
Oh George, George
A restaurant at the public square – “Waiter!”
“Sir, Madam, would you like an espresso?”
“No – wine!”
Oh George, George
Oh George from the lake Maggiore
George, a weekend with you in Ascona
In Ascona at the lake Maggiore
With chianti, chianti, chianti, chianti, chianti
A weekend with you and polenta
Polenta, polenta, polenta, polenta, polenta, polenta
Oh George, a weekend with you in Ascona
In Ascona at the lake Maggiore with love, much love
Oh George, George
A night under the moon
A boat – the lake, the mountains and the palms
Gardens, flowers, mimosa
Oh George, George
From the lake Maggiore in Ascona
In Ascona at the lake Maggiore
Lalala lalala lalalala…
My beloved! My beloved!
Goodbye! Goodbye my beautiful, beautiful, blonde woman!
Goodbye, bye George
Oh George, George
Lala lalala lalala lalalala…
Lalala lalala lalalala…
Oh George, George
