So laang we's du do bast was the fifth song sent by Luxembourg to the Eurovision Song Contest. It represented the country at the 1960 contest, and performed in Luxembourgish by Camillo Felgen.

Unlike most other Luxembourgish entries, this was in their own language, Luxembourgish. The song placed last with just one point from Italy, saving them from having the first Nul Points. Luxembourg took heed of this, and sent all their following songs in French, with the exceptions of 1992 and 1993, eventually ending in relegation from 1994, and a current withdrawal from the contest since then.

Lyrics

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
So laang we's du do bast, so laang wor ët schéin
