About Croire

"Croire" (English title: "Trust") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, performed in French by Belgian singer Lara Fabian, an at the time 18-year-old up and coming artist, and some twenty years later an established performer in all of the world. The song is a ballad, with Fabian singing that she wants to believe in the good of humanity, rather than its dark side. She sings that "we have love within us", which is her central belief. Fabian also recorded the song in English and German language versions, as "Trust" and "Glaub'" respectively. The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Belgium's Reynaert with "Laissez briller le soleil" and preceding Italy's Luca Barbarossa with "Vivo (Ti scrivo)"). At the close of voting, it had received 90 points, placing 4th in a field of 21. It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1989 Contest by Park Café with "Monsieur". In 1999 "Croire" was included as a bonus track on Lara Fabian's eponymously titled debut album, originally released in 1991.

Non j'veux pas chanter sur des mots qui pleurent
Comme le cri d'un violon trop noir
Nous on voit la vie avec les yeux du cœur
Rien nous empêchera d'y croire

Croire au nouveau monde qu'on a dans la tête
Croire en nous pour changer demain
Croire même aux mensonges si ça les arrête
Croire aux lignes de nos mains

Croire au ciel inondé d'oiseaux
Croire encore à l'espace de tes bras
Croire à la couleur de ta peau
Croire qu'on marchera plus au pas

Croire au temps quand on a vingt ans
Croire qu'on peut construire sur un sol volcan
Croire qu'on peut crier au fou
Quand on a l'amour en nous
