Après Toi

About Après Toi

"Après toi" (French for "After you") was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 performed in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros, representing Luxembourg. The song was co-written by Leandros' father Leandros Papathanasiou, also known as Leo Leandros, under his pseudonym Mario Panas. This was Vicky Leandros' second entry in the Contest. In 1967 she had finished fourth with "L'amour est bleu" (better known under its English title "Love is Blue") which subsequently went on to become a worldwide hit when covered by French orchestra leader Paul Mauriat. "Après toi" is a dramatic ballad, with the singer telling her lover what will happen to her once he has finally left her for someone else; "After you I will be nothing but the shadow of your shadow". The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Belgium's Serge & Christine Ghisoland with "À la folie ou pas du tout" and preceding the Netherlands' Sandra & Andres with "Als het om de liefde gaat"). By the close of voting, it had received 128 points, placing it first in a field of 18. more »

Tu t'en vas
L'amour a pour toi
Le sourire d'une autre
Je voudrais mais ne peux t'en vouloir
Dsormais
Tu vas m'oublier
Ce n'est pas de ta faute
Et pourtant tu dois savoir
Qu'aprs toi
Je ne pourrai plus vivre, non plus vivre
Qu'en souvenir de toi
Aprs toi
J'aurai les yeux humides
Les mains vides, le cur sans joie
Avec toi
J'avais appris rire
Et mes rires ne viennent que par toi
Aprs toi je ne serai que l'ombre
De ton ombre
Aprs toi
Mme une jour si je fais ma vie
Si je tiens la promesse
Qui unit peut-tre pour toujours
Aprs toi
Je pourrai peut-tre
Donner de ma tendresse
Mais plus rien de mon amour
Aprs toi
Je ne pourrai plus vivre, non plus vivre
Qu'en souvenir de toi
Aprs toi
J'aurai les yeux humides
Les mains vides, le cur sans joie
Avec toi
J'avais appris rire
Et mes rires ne viennent que par toi
Aprs toi je ne serai que l'ombre
De ton ombre
Aprs toi.
