Eurovision 1963 Luxembourg:
Nana Mouskouri - "À force de prier"
À force de prier
À force de prier, chaque nuit, chaque jour
À force d'implorer tous les dieux de l'amour
À force de chanter ton nom comme un poème
À force de t'aimer, il faudra que tu m'aimes
À force de prier du profond de mon cœur
Et de désespérer de trouver le bonheur
Lorsque j'aurai pleuré jusqu'au bout de ma peine
À force d'appeler, il faudra que tu viennes
À force de prier et de vivre d'espoir
Le soleil s'est levé déchirant le brouillard
Je vais pouvoir chanter, crier, crier victoire
Il est venu mon tour, il eѕt venu ce jour
À force de prier, l'amour… l'amour… l'аmour
By persistently praying
By persistently praying, every night, every day
By persistently begging all the gods of love
By persistently singing your name like a poem
By persistently loving you, it will be necessary that you love me
By persistently praying from the depth of my heart
And by despairing to find the happiness
When I will have cried until my sorrow is over
By persistently calling, it will be necessary that you come
By persistently praying and by living of hope
The sun rose painfully on the fog
I'm going to be able to sing, shout, shout victory
My turn came, this day came
By persiѕtently prаying, love… love… love
The One That Got Away
The one that got away is the boy I adore
No matter what they say, I'll be his evermore
Each day brings some new face, each one so like another
But no arms can replace the arms of my true lover
The one… the one that got away was my first love and last
And though my lips may stray, my heart beats in the past
For no lips can repeat the thrill his kisses brought me
Those memories bittersweet of happiness he taught me
The one… the one that got away, the one man in my life
The man I hoped would say: "Come to me, be my light"
But darling, come what may, I'll just keep on pretending
That one bright sunny day, I'll hear my lover ѕay:
"I have come, I'm the one that couldn't get… get awаy"
Die Worte dieser Nacht
Die Worte dieser Nacht sind Musik für uns zwei
Die Worte: "Hab mich lieb", "Sei mir gut", "Bleib mir treu"
Die Worte sagen dir wie gern ich bei dir bliebe
Die Worte dieser Nacht sind Worte unsrer Liebe
Die Sterne dieser Nacht haben alles gesehn
Sie sahn das weiße Boot auf die Traumreise gehn
Sie sahen jeden Kuß und sahen jeden Blick
Die Sterne dieser Nacht, sie brachten uns das Glück
Die Worte dieser Nacht sind Musik für uns zwei
Die Worte: "Hab mich lieb", "Sei mir gut", "Bleib mir treu"
Die Worte sagen dir wie gern ich bei dir bliebe
Die Worte dieser Nacht ѕind lauter Worte nur
Von Liebe, Liebe, Liebe und l'аmour
La Notte Non Lo Sà
La notte non lo sa, ma vorrei, ma vorrei
Che non giungesse mai senza te, senza te
La notte non lo sa, che sono innamorata
E che non dormirò se non ti avrò veduto
Lo so che non dovrei impazzire così
Per uno che non sa, non sa dire di sì
Lo so che non dovrei ma ormai ti ho conosciuto
E non mi arrenderò se non ti avrò baciato
La notte non lo sa, ma vorrei, ma vorrei
Che non giungesse mai senza te, senza te
La notte non lo sa, che ormai non ho più sogni
E tutti i giorni miei, la notte non lo ѕa
Che li regalerei a te… a te… а te
