Sognu was the French entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 performed by Amaury Vassili. It is a dramatic operatic ballad and only one of two entries in contest history performed in the Corsican language, the other being Mama Corsica in 1993.

The song was considered to be a heavy favorite for victory with the bookies, and as a member of the newly re-established Big Five, it was automatically qualified for the final. On the night, it was performed 11th following Russia and preceding the return of Italy. At the close of voting, it only managed 15th place with 82 points.

Sognu di ste labbre
Di sta voce chjara è pura
Mai spent'u ricordu di tè
Quella notte quì cun mè

Sognu, mi lamentu
U mio core, n'hà primura
Di a vita, aspettu dumane
Invinuchjatu ver di u mare

Spart'u mondu cun tè
Ma tù, ti ne voli andà
Cantu per a vittoria
Luntanu da tè, pensu sempre chè
Sei vicinu a mè, sognu di tè

Canteraghju, canteraghju à tè
A canzona, l'ohimè

Piengu è sò male
Preg'u celu fin'à more
Quì da i monti, quì di front'à tè
Esceraghju d'issu so...

S'è tu mori, eu dinò

I dream of these lips
Of this clear and pure voice
The memory of you will never fade
That night here with me

I dream, I wail
My heart is concerned
About the life that awaits me tomorrow
I'm kneeled before the sea

I share the world with you
But you, you want to go away
I sing for victory
Far from you, I always think that
You are close to me, I dream of you

I will sing, I will sing to you
The song, the sorrow

I cry and I feel bad
I pray to heaven until I die
Here on the mountains, here in front of you
I will escape from this dream

If you die, I also die
