As a Swiss I am getting a bit sentimental about this and the fact that in all of Eurovision history this language was heard only once!

Die Schweiz sollte wieder einmal ein Lied in Rätoromanisch zur ' Eurovision ' senden!

Nice entry of Switzerland, one of my favourites that year.

It's beautiful to hear Romansch being sung!

It's a melodic language. Quite beautiful

I thought this was dull and boring in 1989. But l was only 12. It has grown over the years and now l see that its quite classy. Well performed.

Beautiful song and performance.

C"est Fantastique/ Merveilleux!. I loved this song at the 89 Contest and prayed that it would win. I love Romanish since it is a minority Language and I always try to support minoritiy languages - they are vital to global culture. I love Switzerland and the diversity of lingusitic ability four official languages is how it should be in many countries. The group was superb all good looking, gelling well together, beautifully attired a real credit to Switzerland. This is one of all time great entries along with the fabulous Lys Assia of 1956.

Oh how i loved this song and still do.

This one has grown a lot on me recently. Might end up on top 5 for 1989. There is something that reminds me of Swiss landscape when I hear this song.

I wish Switzerland could come back with a song in Romanish or what the English word for this wonderful language is. Back in 1972 Ireland sang in Irish In 1996 France sang in Bretanic I wish that countries could «dare» to sing in languages of their own. Eurovision is about to turn out to be a Eurovision British Song Contest. Give a like if you agree.

Well, not British, most singers have (or least try to) an American accent.

Great song. Excellent performance. 9 /10!!! ❤️🇨🇭

magnifique chanson fantastique merci

Die Schweiz präsentierte sich als Gastgeber auf rätoromanisch, und das obendrein noch verdammt gut und professionell. Hat sich was von wegen Bauernitalienisch: das war wirklich schön.

one of the most beautiful Swiss entries 🥰

Felicitats a Suïssa, que respecta la diversitat lingüística dins el seu país. Això uneix més a un país.

wonderful, best song from Eurovision...hugs from Macedonia

Viktor300 Viktor300 and a true winner. Because its right after a godess. They were praising her. Thats why they have a religious anthem. Hugs from Poland. And pocivaj Toshe u miru. Toshe lives in me.

Such a beautiful song and all the comments are in a way negative...

The best Eurovision Song Contest song EVER

Una gran canción,muy a lo folk suizo,me gusta muchísimo¡

Nice song and well performed. Was this the only time that the host country’s song’s lyrics weren’t understood by the majority by the home crowd in the venue?

Norway did also sing in a local dialect both in 1989 and in 1993. Both from the county of Rogaland in the South western part of Norway. Britt Synnøve Johansen 1989 from Karmøy and Silje Vige from Jørpeland in 1993.

Wegen mir hätte seinerzeit die Schweiz ruhig noch einmal den Sieg einfahren können. Der Beitrag ist jedenfalls wunderschön.

Ich bin Auslandsschweizer, es ist für mich wie Lyoba einer der schönsten Songs.

Princess Diana could sing

They were praising the godess of Europe, Celine Dion. Thats why they are anthemish and true winners. Together with Germany

I have no idea what they sing about. Even online translators did not hear of Rumantsch. But I always remember this song as it is so special due to this language. And like someone commented: This is what ESC is about. It's not about everybody singing a random EDM song in English with tons of effects and an eye-hurting live performance. It's about bringing together all the cultural diffrences to combine them to one Europe. Switzerland has Rumantsch, France has Bretonian, Germany has Sorbian. I believe the competition would be much better if minorities and special languages would play a much bigger role.

Dazu esse ich ein Stück Bündner Nusstorte und geniesse ein Glas Rotwein aus Maienfeld. Und der Abend ist eingeläutet.

She looks like Princess Diana

Pour la première-et hélas, pour le moment, dernière-fois, l'occitan a fait son entrée à l'Eurovision avec cette chanson en Romanche

The was they pronounce the "s" as sh, the amount of the "u"'s and the words with a latin root but ending in consonants resembles Western Lumbard a lot to me.

@@FannomacritaireSuomi You have some faulty logic. So Romansh should be the only official one, yet Portuguese (and European at that) should be the official one of Brazil, but not the indigenous languages? Also, the original three cantons of future Switzerland were German-speaking, the Romansh ones joined later, as well as the French- and Italian-speaking ones, so I don't think anyone brought anything to Switzerland - sure, Romansh loss a lot of its power, but it was when the cantons were already joined in a one state.
