Dai Li Dou was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in Portuguese by Gemini.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with the band describing the freedom of a kite flying above them. They sing about their own desires for freedom, which they describe as being reflected in the kite.
The song was performed fifth on the night (following Finland's Seija Simola with Anna rakkaudelle tilaisuus and preceding France's Joël Prévost with Il Y Aura Toujours Des Violons). At the close of voting, it had received 5 points, placing 17th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 1979 Contest by Manuela Bravo with Sobe, Sobe, Balão Sobe.
