On 25 January 2003, Polish TV viewers chose Ich Troje to represent them in
2003 Eurovision Song Contest
by televoting. The band took part in the contest with the song "
Keine Grenzen ? ?adnych granic
" (
English
translation: "No Borders"), a trilingual song performed in
German
,
Polish
and
Russian
. The song is a dramatic ballad, in which the singers express their desire to be astronauts, gazing down from space at the earth. As well as the beauty of the spectacle, they sing that from that distance it is impossible to see borders, flags and warfare. The theme of the need for peace is underscored by the multilingual lyrics, in which Polish is performed alongside the languages of two neighbouring states which have historically fought with Poland. The song received the maximum 12 points from Germany but none from Russia. The song finished 7th in a field of 26 entries.
A fully
German
version of the song was recorded as well. Another trilingual version (French, English, Esperanto) was recorded in 2016.
