La mirada interior was the Andorran entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kiev performed by Marian van de Wal. As Andorra's previous entry had not finished in the top ten, the song was performed in the semifinal.
The song itself deals with the need to find one's own beauty before one can find it in the wider world - hence the need for "the inner look" of the title. Backing singer at the performance was Anabel Conde, who represented Spain in the 1995 contest in Dublin, finishing in second place.
It was performed 18th in the semifinal following Macedonia and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, the song finished in 23rd place with 27 points, forcing Andorra to qualify from the semi-final in the next contest.

Si el que vols és trobar
La bellesa de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
Abans de girar-te cap al món
Si el que vols és trobar
El misteri de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
A través de la mirada interior
Hi ha molt més del que pots veure
Ves i explora dins del teu univers interior
Allà veuràs que hi ha una força que és el que fa que
Tot sigui allà on està
Irradia pau, irradia llum
Irradia harmonia, sigues tu
Si el que vols és trobar
La bellesa de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
Abans de girar-te cap al món
Si el que vols és trobar
El misteri de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
A través de la mirada interior
Obre de bat a bat les portes del tresor
Que s’amaga a dintre del teu cor, no ho dubtis
Banya’t en la quietud de l’aigua clara
On trobaràs l’essència d’aquell que vols ser tu
Mira l’interior
Si el que vols és trobar
La bellesa de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
Abans de girar-te cap al món
Si el que vols és trobar
El misteri de la vida
Ves i busca dins el teu cor
A través de la mirada interior
Obre el teu cor al món
Veuràs que tot ho pot la mirada interior
If you want to find
The beauty of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Before you turn to the world
If you want to find
The mystery of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Through the inner look
There is much more than you can see
Go and explore inside your inner universe
There you will see a strength which makes
Everything stay where it is
Irradiate peace, irradiate light
Irradiate harmony, be yourself
If you want to find
The beauty of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Before you turn to the world
If you want to find
The mystery of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Through the inner look
Open one by one the doors of the treasure
Which is hidden inside your heart, don’t doubt it
Bathe in the calmness of the clear water
Where you will find the essence of the one you want to be
Look within
If you want to find
The beauty of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Before you turn to the world
If you want to find
The mystery of life
Go and search for it inside your heart
Through the inner look
Open your heart to the world
See that everything can be done by the inner look
