The small city of Millstreet, Ireland, was the host for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. 1993 was the first year to feature a pre-qualifying heat for Eastern European countries. In the run-up to the contest, the European Broadcasting Union started to take into account how many potential countries would apply to enter the contest. The dissolution of the Eastern bloc and the disintegration of Yugoslavia created many new potential applicants. Because of that, seven countries from Eastern Europe had to participate in a preliminary heat called Kvalifikacija za Millstreet in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the 3rd of April, in order to go to the final night of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia and Croatia made it through the preliminary heat and made their debut in the song contest as independent nations. Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Estonia had to wait till the following year to be eligible to enter Europe's biggest musical event.
Ireland had their second victory in a row with the song In Your Eyes performed by Niamh Kavanagh who shot to fame due to the original soundtrack to the movie The Commitments. After a nailbiting finish, Niamh managed to keep the entry from the United Kingdom second with the very last vote. The UK entry Better The Devil You Know by Sonia was seen by many as the favorite to win, as Sonia had had some international hits with the legendary producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
The venue for the 1993 contest was very unusual - it was a hall normally used for horse auctions in the tiny town of Millstreet, near Cork. The contestants complained they were in the middle of nowhere with not a pub in sight. However, the Irish audience made up for this inconvenience as they enthusiastically welcomed all participating nations and also gave a special warm reception for the entry from Bosnia & Herzegovina - a country in a state of war in 1993.
Vackra ord

Jag och en bekant vi fann en plats att slappna en ikväll
På andra sidan rummet såg jag något underbart
Jag vågade mig fram och tog ett litet andetag
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
Du är vacker låt mig säga vackra ord till dig
För när jag öppnar munnen blir det inte alltid rätt
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
Du var just på väg att svara men vi hejdades av hennes vän
Var drömmen redan över var det dags för ruta ett igen
Men hon vände sig tillbaka och hon avbröt sin kamrat
Förklarade för oss att hon vill stanna här ett tag
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
Du är vacker låt mig säga vackra ord till dig
För när jag öppnar munnen blir det inte alltid rätt
Möter du min blick så kan jag säga det så lätt
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
Vad gör jag nu
Var det menat eller bara tur
Men då tar hon mig i handen
Och viskar något vacker till mig till mig
Och jag faller
Jag kommer aldrig ångra att jag öppnade min mun
Tänk att våra blickar möttes för en kort sekund
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
Väcker vackra ord i mig
Väcker vackra ord i mig
The lyrics of Arvingarna's song "Vackra ord" depict a situation where the singer is at the end of a week and ready for a weekend break. The singer and an acquaintance find a place to relax for the evening. Across the room, the singer sees something wonderful and gathers the courage to approach. The singer describes a feeling of being inspired by this person's beauty, which prompts them to want to express their admiration through words.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that this person is beautiful and brings forth beautiful words in the singer. The lyrics acknowledge that sometimes when the singer opens their mouth, they don't always say the right things. However, when this person meets their gaze, the singer finds it easy to express their feelings. There is a sense of attraction and longing to convey their admiration for this individual.
In the second verse, just as the person is about to respond to the singer, they are interrupted by their friend. It seems like the dream might be over, returning them back to square one. However, the person turns back, leaving their friend behind, and explains that they want to stay a while.
The bridge brings a moment of uncertainty for the singer. They question what they should do now, whether it was destiny or just luck. But then, the person takes the singer's hand and whispers something beautiful, causing the singer to fall for them.

Veckan hade nått sitt slut och jag var redo för en ledig helg
The week had come to an end and I was ready for a relaxing weekend
Jag och en bekant vi fann en plats att slappna en ikväll
A friend and I found a place to unwind this evening
På andra sidan rummet såg jag något underbart
On the other side of the room, I saw something wonderful
Jag vågade mig fram och tog ett litet andetag
I gathered my courage and took a small breath
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
You are beautiful and you inspire beautiful words in me
Du är vacker låt mig säga vackra ord till dig
You are beautiful, let me speak beautiful words to you
För när jag öppnar munnen blir det inte alltid rätt
Because when I open my mouth, it doesn't always come out right
Möter du min blick så kan jag säga det så lätt
But when our eyes meet, I can say it so easily
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
You are beautiful and you inspire beautiful words in me
Du var just på väg att svara men vi hejdades av hennes vän
You were just about to answer, but we were interrupted by her friend
Var drömmen redan över var det dags för ruta ett igen
Was the dream already over, was it time for back to square one again
Men hon vände sig tillbaka och hon avbröt sin kamrat
But she turned back and interrupted her companion
Förklarade för oss att hon vill stanna här ett tag
She explained to us that she wants to stay here for a while
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
You are beautiful and you inspire beautiful words in me

You are beautiful and you inspire beautiful words in me
Vad gör jag nu
What do I do now
Var det menat eller bara tur
Was it meant to be or just luck
Men då tar hon mig i handen
But then she takes my hand
Och viskar något vacker till mig till mig
And whispers something beautiful to me, to me
Och jag faller
And I fall
Jag kommer aldrig ångra att jag öppnade min mun
I will never regret that I opened my mouth
Tänk att våra blickar möttes för en kort sekund
To think that our eyes met for a brief moment
Du är vacker och du väcker vackra ord i mig
You are beautiful and you inspire beautiful words in me
Väcker vackra ord i mig
Awakens beautiful words in me
Väcker vackra ord i mig
Awakens beautiful words in me
