Si tu aimes ma musique (translation: If you like my music) was the Belgian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 in Harrogate performed by Stella Maessen.

Musically the song is an up-tempo number with influences from disco and synthpop. Lyrically, it is a plea for unity, with Stella urging that "If you do like my music, sing it with me".

It was performed eleventh on the night following Austria and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in 4th place with 96 points.

Lyrics[]

C'est si doux
Le matin se lève en musique
Ça rend un peu fou
Mais le réveil est plus euphorique
Elle te suit
Partout pendant toute la journée
Et tous tes ennuis
S’envolent aussitôt en fumée

Si tu aimes ma musique
Chante-la avec moi
Si tu veux danser
Personne ne t’empêchera

N’est-elle pas magnifique?
Chante à pleine voix
Fais qu’elle fasse vibrer
Le monde tout entier

La chanson
C’est ce qu’il y a de plus fantastique
Aussi nous chantons
Sur toutes les surfaces géographiques

Le bonheur
Se trouve souvent dans une musique
Et la bonne humeur
C’est comme une fleur vraiment magique

Si tu aimes ma musique
Chante-la avec moi
Si tu veux danser
Personne ne t’empêchera

N’est-elle pas magnifique?
Chante à pleine voix
Fais qu’elle fasse vibrer
Le monde tout entier

Si tu aimes ma musique
Chante-la avec moi
Si tu veux danser
Personne ne t’empêchera

N’est-elle pas magnifique?
Chante à pleine voix
Fais qu’elle fasse vibrer
Le monde tout entier

It’s so nice
In the morning to get up to music
It makes you a little crazy
But the awakening is more euphoric
It follows you
Everywhere during the whole day
And all your worries
Will clear away in smoke immediately

If you like my music
Sing it with me
If you want to dance
Nobody will stop you

Isn’t it magnificent?
Sing with a full voice
Bring about a vibration
To the whole world

The song
It’s one of the most fantastic things
That’s also why we sing
On every geographical surface

Happiness
Is often found in music
And good humour
It’s like a really magical flower

If you like my music
Sing it with me
If you want to dance
Nobody will stop you

Isn’t it magnificent?
Sing with a full voice
Bring about a vibration
To the whole world

If you like my music
Sing it with me
If you want to dance
Nobody will stop you

Isn’t it magnificent?
Sing with a full voice
Bring about a vibration
To the whole world
