Germany in Junior Eurovision 2024: Bjarne with “Save The Best For Us”

Bjarne, a 10-year-old from the small town of Diepholz in Lower Saxony, enjoys a cosy life in a wooden house with a large garden, where he lives with his parents and older brother.

Bjarne’s first memorable performance was at just six years old, when he sang “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I in front of an audience of 300 people at a sports event. This experience sparked his love for performing on stage. This year, he made it to the semi-finals of The Voice Kids, marking a major milestone in his young career. One of his proudest moments on the show was performing a duet with Spanish-German pop star Álvaro Soler.

In his free time, Bjarne loves jumping on trampolines and designing phone screen wallpapers. He’s also a big Eurovision fan; some of his favourite songs from last year include “The Tower” by Luna and the winning song, “The Code” by Nemo.

What do the “Save The Best For Us” lyrics mean?

This year, Germany brings a bilingual song in German and English, carrying a powerful message about environmental conservation. The song speaks out against pollution and the global issues arising from climate change, urging for solutions to protect the planet for future generations.

The song opens with a reflection on Earth’s natural wonders, questioning whether these beautiful places will still be there tomorrow: “I’ve been to the Amazon and to Bermuda / I discovered the rainforest with my finger on the mobile phone screen / The peaks of the mountains, the colours of the seas / But one day I want to see the world with my own eyes / I have all its wonders in my head / But I wonder, will the wonders still be there tomorrow?”

It goes on to stress that words alone aren’t enough — immediate action is needed to ensure these wonders endure for generations to come. The chorus serves as a plea from the younger generation, asking us to protect the planet for them: “So save the best for us / Save the oceans and the trees, the mountains and the air we breathe.” This song calls listeners to action, combining an inspiring message of unity with a sense of urgency to safeguard our shared home.

German text

Ich war am Amazonas und auf den Bermudas
Ich hab den Regenwald entdeckt mit dem Finger auf dem Handyscreen
Die Gipfel der Berge, die Farben der Meere
Doch irgendwann will ich die Welt mit eigenen Augen sehn

Ich hab all ihre Wunder in meinem Kopf
Doch ich frag mich gibt’s die Wunder morgen noch?

So save the best for us
Save the oceans and the trees, the mountains and the air we breathe
Save the best for us
This world can take your breath away, it’s beautiful in every way

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Uns hat das Leben noch so viel zu geben
Ich möchte Eisbären sehn
Und irgendwann am Nordpol stehen
Doch die Gletscher sie schmelzen
Die Wälder sie brennen
Und die Zeit sie rennt um
Die Welt mit meinen Augen zu sehn

Ich hab all ihre Wunder in meinem Kopf
Und wenn wir dafür kämpfen, gibts die Wunder morgen noch

So save the best for us
Save the oceans and the trees, the mountains and the air we breathe
Save the best for us
This world can take your breath away, it’s beautiful in every way

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

So save the best for us
This world can take your breath away
It’ѕ beautiful in every wаy

English translation

I’ve been to the Amazon and to Bermuda
I discovered the rainforest with my finger on the mobile phone screen
The peaks of the mountains, the colours of the seas
But one day I want to see the world with my own eyes

I have all its wonders in my head
But I wonder will the wonders still be there tomorrow?

So save the best for us
Save the oceans and the trees, the mountains and the air we breathe
Save the best for us
This world can take your breath away, it’s beautiful in every way

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Life still has so much to give us
I want to see polar bears
And one day stand at the North Pole
But the glaciers they’re melting
The forests they burn
And time is running out
To see the world through my eyes

I have all its wonders in my head
And if we fight for them, the wonders will still be there tomorrow

So save the best for us
Save the oceans and the trees, the mountains and the air we breathe
Save the best for us
This world can take your breath away, it’s beautiful in every way

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

Save the best, the best for us
Save the best, the best for us
Sometimes words are not enough

So save the best for us
This world can take your breath away
It’ѕ beautiful in every wаy

This little guy is very charismatic, the song is kind of anthemic, very good package overall, if staged well it will probably get my vote.
Good luck Germany!

I like this song. Not so much as their entry from last year but it ‘s not bad at all.
