Malta will change the lyrics of its Eurovision entry lyrics to remove the word Kant, which means singing in Maltese, after the BBC complained because of its similarity to a vulgar word.



Malta is changing the lyrics of its Eurovision song, specifically removing the word "Kant" (Maltese for singing), after the BBC complained about its similarity to a vulgar English word. Malta's Public Broadcasting Service is appealing the decision and exploring legal action in Switzerland, arguing it infringes on freedom of expression and non-discrimination. The singer expressed disappointment that the BBC raised concerns, stating it's a case of lost in translation.
