The Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Netherlands (Official song)

9/10
Listen, it's a great song. Feels so Dutch. Is directed at Europe. Has a lovely message about his father. Europa- papa. The whole song is great. He included a line in German which we haven't had for too long.

The only problem, I'm a bit tired of the entries that overlap. This is included in the Kaarija effect. They blend together and this won't end well. Netherlands has to split their vote with Croatia, Finland, Switzerland and Estonia.

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)

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 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 I'm travelling every day 'cause 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 (Hey)
Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Europa (Hey)

I am in Germany, but I am so alone (yes in German)
I am in Italy, but still, I feel pain
I'm running from myself, call for help all day long
Yeah, I even give people money, but there's no one to help me
I don't need escargots, don't need fish and chips
Don't need paella, no, I don't even 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, ayy"

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 (Hey)
Euro-pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pa
Europa (Hey)

Europa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (Ja-ha)
Pa, pa, pa, pa (Hey)
Welcome to Europe, boy!

(Hey)
Eu-ro-pa
