"So Laang We's Du Do Bast" (English translation: "As Long As You Are There") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1960, performed in Luxembourgish (the first occasion on which Luxembourg had not sung in French) by Camillo Felgren, the first male singer to represent the country.
The song is in the chanson style, with Felgren telling his lover that he will continue to love her "as long as you are there". If she leaves him, he sings, he will continue to do so but she won't notice.
The song was performed third on the night (following Sweden's Siw Malmkvist with "Alla Andra Får Varann" and preceding Denmark's Katy Bødtger with "Det Var En Yndig Tid"). At the close of voting, it had received 1 point, placing 13th (last) in a field of 13.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1961 Contest by Jean-Claude Pascal with Nous Les Amoureux.
