Sou Fräi (English translation: "As Free") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Luxembourgish (only the second time this language was used at the Contest} by Marion Welter & Kontinent.

The song is an up-tempo number, with Welter explaining that she wants to be free and comparing this freedom to various things including kites and young children. The title comes from the chorus, where she sings that "I want to be as free/As thoughts can be".

The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Switzerland's Daisy Auvray with Mister Music Man and preceding Austria's Tony Wegas with Zusammen geh'n). At the close of voting, it had received 10 points (all from Malta), placing 21st in a field of 23.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1993 Contest by Modern Times with Donne-Moi Une Chance.
