Caracola was the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 in Copenhagen performed by Eurovision's first ever group, which was Italian-Uruguayan group, Los TNT. Due to the old rules saying that only duos were allowed, Nelly was the main singer, being accomponied by Tim and Tony.
Nelly hold a caracola in her hand during the performance, sometimes during performing she would even put it in front her ear.
It was performed last during the night following Belgium. At the close of voting, it finished in 12th place (second to last place) with only one point, which came from Italy.
Lyrics[]
La voz del mar prisionera
La caracola guardó
Porque tu voz no se fuera
Mi corazon la encerró
Te quiero, cuánto te quiero
El eco me repitió
¿Por qué, entre cielo y mar
Entre sombra y luz, tus ojos veía?
¿Por qué sentí naufragar
A mi corazón de pronto aquel día?
¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar
Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió
Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?
Así tu voz transformó
A mi corazón en tu caracola
¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar
Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió
Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?
Así tu voz tranѕformó
A mi corazón en tu caracola
De amor, de аmor
The voice of the sea prisoner
Is kept in the conch
So your voice didn't flee
My heart enclosed it
I love you, how much I love you
The echo repeated me
Why, between sky and sea
Between shadow and light, did I see your eyes?
Why did I suddenly feel
That day sinking in my heart?
Why did you save me
And did the sea give it to you when the wave came?
Why did your love invade
My beach which yesterday was so lonely?
That's how your voice changed
My heart into your conch
Why did you save me
And did the sea give it to you when the wave came?
Why did your love invade
My beach which yesterday was so lonely?
That'ѕ how your voice changed
My heаrt into your conch
Of love, of love
