The song is the first in Eurovision history to feature words in Sanskrit , while being the second entry to have words in Ancient Greek ( the first being " Pia Prosefhi " by Elina Konstantopoulou representing Greece in the 1995 edition . ) During an interview , Luca Chiaravalli , author and producer of the song , said that the lyrics would probably be changed before the Eurovision live performance . According to the Eurovision rules , in fact , the song can not last more than three minutes . Therefore , the track must be shortened . A sentence containing the word " Chanel " was one of the things which were removed , as it is a registered trademark . During the TV program '' Standing Ovation '' ( broadcast on Rai 1 ) Francesco Gabbani declared that the song would remain with the lyrics in Italian . On 17 March 2017 , the official Eurovision version of the song was published
