Keine Mauern mehr was the Austrian entry at the 1990 performed by Simone Stelzer.
The song is one of many at that year's contest about the fall of the Berlin Wall, which happened in November 1989. The lyrics contain a few words in English, French & Serbo-Croat, to signify freedom, and a future.
It was performed 20th on the night, following winners Italy, and preceding Cyprus. It rounded off the top ten that year, placing 10th with 58 points.

Zur selben Zeit vor einem Jahr
Hat niemand sich's gedacht
Dass unser Freiheitsdrang
Den Sprung nach vorne macht
Gegenwart kommt in Fahrt
Sie muß um jeden Preis
Bunter sein, nicht nur schwarz und weiß
Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren
Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, No walls anywhere
(Keine Mauern mehr)
Tomber les barrières, Keine Mauern mehr
Keine Mauern mehr
Der Wind ist stark, er nimmt in Sturm
Bläst manchem ins Gesicht
Die feste Hand am Widerstand zerbricht
Denn unsere Zukunft wird erst jetzt geboren
Viele Sprachen, viele Ohren
Keine Mauern mehr, No walls anywhere
(Keine Mauern mehr)
Nema više zidova, Keine Mauern mehr
Keine Mauern mehr[1]
Around this time last year
Nobody would have thought
That our desire for freedom
Would take this leap forward
The present time comes quickly
It must at any price
Be more colourful, not just black and white
For our future is just born now
Many languages, many ears
No walls anymore, No walls anywhere
(No walls anymore)
Let the barriers fall, No walls anymore
No walls anymore
The wind is strong, it increases to gale
Blows someone in the face
The firm hand is broken by the resistance
For our future is just born now
Many languages, many ears
No walls anymore, No walls anywhere
(No walls anymore)
There are no more walls, No walls anymore
No walls anymore
