Conan Osiris is the artist name of 30-year-old Tiago Miranda. He will sing for Portugal at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. Conan was born in Lisbon on 5 January, the same day as Hayao Miyazaki, the animation movie director that created 'Future Boy Conan' from where Tiago took inspiration for his name. The other half of his name, Osiris, comes from Egyptian Mythology from the symbol of rebirth and resurrection.

The self-taught dancer, songwriter, composer and producer also worked at the most iconic sex shop in Lisbon, prior to composing a song for Festival da Canção, Portugal's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Telemóveis ('Mobile phones')

Portuguese > English

I broke the cell phone

Trying to call heaven

To find out if I kill 'saudade'

Or if I'm the one who dies

Who kills who, who kills who, kills? 

Who kills who?

I don't even know

When I find out I won't call anyone else

If life calls, if life sends a message,

If life doesn't stop and you don't have the courage to pick up

You already know what will happen

I’ll come down my stairs

And I’ll ruin the cell phone

The celli

I‘ll break the cell phone

Yours and mine 

And I’ll ruin the cell phone

I want to live

And to wreck the cell phone

What if I break the cell phone?

I only break what’s mine

Let's see if 'saudade' dies

Or if in the end I'm the one who dies

Who kills who, kills?

I don't even know

Snitchery never gave birth to anyone

I used to break cell phones

But I will never break mine again 

I know that 'saudade' is dead

It was me who shot the arrow

It was me who shot the arrow

It was me
