Aufrecht geh'n (English translation: "Walk Tall") was the German entry in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest, performed in German by Mary Roos.
The song was the fourteenth performance of the night (following Austria's Anita with Einfach weg and preceding Turkey's Beş Yıl Önce - On Yıl Sonra with Halay). At the close of voting, it had received 34 points, placing it 13th in a field of 19.
The song is a power ballad, with Roos bidding a former lover goodbye at the end of a relationship. She tells herself to "walk tall" and tells him that she will not be waiting for him if he comes back - as she assumes he will.
It was succeeded as German representative at the 1985 Contest by Wind with the song Für Alle.
