"So laang we's du do bast" (English: As Long As You Are There) was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1960 in London, performed by Camillo Felgen on his first appearance in the Contest.
It finished in last place with a single point, being saved from the dreaded Nul Points by the Italian jury.

So laang we’s du do bast, so laang’s du mir no bast
So laang wéi méng Aen, dëch nëmmen gesin
So laang we’s du hei bast, so léiw an so trei bast
So laang kann fir mëch ët näischt Schéineres gin
Kuck all méng Gedanken, si wanken, si schwanken
Si sin stéits bei dir, an ech kann nët dofir
So laang we’s du do bast, so laang’s du mir no bast
So laang kann fir mëch ët näischt Schéineres gin
Wann’s de heino och fort gees, fir ëmmer no Nord gees
Dann solls du nët mierken méng heemelëch Träin
An wann’s du géif’s froën, dann misst ech gestoën
So laang we’s du do worst, so laang wor ët schéin
Et as so am Liewen: ‘t geet monsches doniewen
All Stonnen déi schéin, vill ze séier verbléin
Wann’s du dann no Nord gees
Gleew mir, wann’s de och fort gees
As long as you are there, as long as you are near me
As long as my eyes only see you
As long as you are here, being lovely and faithful
So long it can’t be anything more beautiful to me
Look at all my thoughts, they’re swaying, they’re staggering
They will be with you always and I can’t help it
As long as you are there, as long as you are near me
So long it can’t be anything more beautiful to me
Even if you will go away then, going to the north forever
You won’t notice my secret tears
And if you asked me, then I would have to admit
As long as you were there, so long everything was fine
That’s the way life is: some things will go wrong
Times of happiness pass by much too fast
When you will go to the north then
Believe me, even when you will go away
