Dis rien was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1962 in Luxembourg, performed by François Deguelt.

The song is in the chanson style popular in the early years of the Contest. Deguelt tells his lover to "say nothing" while they are in each other's company, as their love is enough for both of them to appreciate without words.

The song was performed sixteenth on the night, following Italy. At the close of voting, it had received 13 points, placing 2nd - only half the total of Isabelle Aubret's Un premier amour for France.

Lyrics[]

Dis rien, dis rien, on s'aime
C'est ça le vrai poème
Et je me sens si bien
Mon corps noyé au tien

Je suis comme dans une vague
Où mon bonheur divague
C'est si profond, profond
Je me sens couler au fond

Dis rien, les mots sont bêtes
Quand on n'est pas poète
Ce sont des bulles qui crèvent
Les mots, ça tue les rêves

Mes mains jouent sur ta robe
Rien de toi ne se dérobe
Dans mes deux bras fermés
Laisse-moi, laisse-moi t'aimer

Dis rien, dis rien, mon âme
Tes yeux ont comme une flamme
Les mots sont tous les mêmes
Dis rien, dis rien, je t'aime

Je ne sais plus où nous sommes
Tu es femme et moi - un homme
Et si l'on meurt de ça
Je veux mourir cent fois
Cent fois, cent fois
Cent fois[1]

Say nothing, say nothing, we love each other
That's the true poem
And I'm feeling so well
My body drowning in yours

I'm as in a wave
Where my happiness roams
It's so profound, profound
I feel myself streaming in the depths

Say nothing, words are silly
For someone who isn't a poet
They're bubbles that blow
The words, it kills the dreams

My hands play on your dress
Nothing of you is revealed
In my two closed arms
Let me, let me love you

Say nothing, say nothing, my soul
Your eyes are like a flame
The words are all the same
Say nothing, say nothing, I love you

I don't know anymore where we are
You are a woman and I - a man
And if one dies of that
I want to die a hundred times
A hundred times, a hundred times
A hundred times
