Eurovision Song Contest Wiki


Amour, Amour was the Luxembourg entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 in Brussels performed by Plastic Bertrand. A very up-tempo song inspired by the synthpop and New Wave genres, the song deals with the power of love. The singer describes himself as going into a "dungeon" for the sake of the emotion, as well as being "full of good vibrations" as a result of it.

On the night, it was performed 13th following the Netherlands and preceding the United Kingdom. At the close of voting, it finished second from last in 21st place with 4 points, only able to impress the Portuguese and United Kingdom juries.

A clip of the song was also seen in a montage of the "Greatest Eurovision Losers" during the semifinals of the 2010 contest in Oslo.

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens
Amour, amour
C'est toi, l'plus fort, le plus malin

Un p'tit point rouge à l'horizon
J'remonte tout en haut du donjon
C'est qu'ça avance
Quelle délivrance – 'vrance

Amène, c'est la bonne direction
C'est l'heure de r'gonfler les ballons
J'suis plein d'ambiance, ouais
Plein d'ambiance – 'biance

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens
Amour, amour
C'est toi, l'plus fort, le plus malin

C'est la panique sur mon radar
Beauté fatale, avoue c'est louche
C'est pas mon jour, vendredi treize – treize
J'm'approche en douce, sans crier gare
Sûr de mon coup, surtout pas touche
J'suis pas à l'aise, elle en a qu'seize – seize

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens
Amour, amour
C'est toi, l'plus fort, le plus malin

Amour, amour, quand tu nous tiens
C'est toi l'cowboy, nous les indiens
Qu'est-ce que t'es dur
Qu'est-ce que t'es chien quand tu nous tiens

Si elle se barre, j'fais tapisserie
J'ramasse tous ses petits cailloux
Et je m'accroche
Qu'est-ce que c'est moche – moche

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens
Amour, amour
C'est toi, l'plus fort, le plus malin

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens
Amour, amour
C'est toi, l'plus fort, le plus malin

Amour, amour
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien quand tu nous tiens

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
Love, love
You're the strongest, the cleverest

A small red dot on the horizon
I climb all the way up the dungeon again
As long as I'm getting somewhere
What a release – 'lease

Go on, it's the right direction
It's time to pump up the balloons again
I'm full of good vibrations, yeah
Good vibrations – 'brations

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
Love, love
You're the strongest, the cleverest

My radar is in panic
Fatal beauty, admit it's weird
It's not my day, Friday the thirteenth – thirteenth
Softly I come closer, unexpectedly
Sure of my ground, definitely no come-on
I feel uncomfortable, she's only sixteen – sixteen

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
Love, love
You're the strongest, the cleverest

Love, love, when you overpower us
You're the cowboy, we're the Indians
How rough you are
How nasty you are when you overpower us

If she clears off, I step aside
I pick up all her little pebbles
And I hang on
That's rotten – rotten

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
Love, love
You're the strongest, the cleverest

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
Love, love
You're the strongest, the cleverest

Love, love
How good it is when you overpower us
