Eurovision Song Contest Wiki

Weil's dr guat got (translation: Because you feel good) was the Austrian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo performed by George Nussbaumer.

The song itself is about the enjoyment to be had in the world when everything is going well. Unusually, it is performed in an up-tempo gospel-influenced style. Nussbaumer leads the song on a piano, with a series of backing singers providing appropriate responses. Notably, it was performed in Vorarlbergish, a dialect of Austrian German.

It qualified from the audio-only round in 6th place. At the televised show, it was performed eighth on the night, following Croatia and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, it finished in 10th place with 68 points.

Everything goes by itself
Ooh… now that it goes well with you, yeah
When you wake up in the morning, no matter what time
You already have a very good feeling that you simply take with you
It may snow, rain, thunder heavily
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you

People who you don’t know laugh friendly to you
Today is a day on which no one can be mad at you for nothing
What is that, what is happening there? I think it’s quite clear
You radiate something special now that it goes well with you

You can embrace the whole world (Yes, no way out of it)
And the world can embrace you (That is good for you)
Mmm, do you feel it? (Yeah) Do you believe in it? (Yeah)
You can do whatever you want
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you

(Now that it goes well with you) Now that it goes well with you
(Now that it goes well with you) Now that it goes well with you

You see problems melting like ice (That does good)
This way you can still win (And that encourages you)

Oh, do you feel it? Do you believe in it?
You can do whatever you want
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you
Mmm, everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you

You want to sing (Sing), you want to dance (dance)
Simply live (Live), embrace everybody
Sing (Sing), dance (dance), live
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you

(Sing) Sing, (Dance) dance
(Live) Ooh… live, embrace people
Sing (sing), dance (dance), live
Everything goes by itself, now that it goes well with you

(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)
You have courage for everything, you don’t give up
You’re hoping the feeling never stops

(Now that it goes well with you, yeah) Everything happens automatically
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah) And around you, it’s bright
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)

Hold, laugh, dance, sing, live
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)
Whoa…

(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)
(Now that it goes well with you, yeah)

(Fine) Oh yeah…
