Toi was the Luxembourg entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1975 in Stockholm performed by Geraldine.
The entry had a high pedigree, being penned by three authors/composers who had all written/composed previous Eurovision winners. Pierre Cour had been partly responsible for the 1960 winner Tom Pillibi and Bill Martin and Phil Coulter had created the 1967 winner Puppet on a String.
It was performed 5th on the night following Germany and preceding Norway. At the close of voting, it finished in 5th place with 84 points. It also received the very first douze points recorded under the current scoring system, receiving it from the Netherlands.
Lyrics[]
Je me suis endormie en écoutant ta voix
En oubliant ma vie au creux de toi, au creux de toi
Je me suis réveillée, j’ai retrouvé ta voix
Et je savais aimer, dis-moi pourquoi, dis-moi pour quoi
Toi, tu es mon seul amour, tu es mon existence
Toi, tu m’as donné l’amour, tu m’as donné la chance
De comprendre aujourd’hui que je vivais pour toi
De savoir que ma vie n’existe pas sans toi
Puisque tu vas voler mes souvenirs d’enfant
Laisse-moi les garder juste le temps, juste le temps
De revoir mes quinze ans, de courir dans les bois
Et de laisser le vent chanter pour toi, chanter pour toi
Toi, qui es mon seul amour, qui es mon existence
Toi, qui m’as donné l’amour, qui m’as donné la chance
De comprendre aujourd’hui que je vivais pour toi
De savoir que ma vie n’existe pas sans toi
I fell asleep, listening to your voice
Forgetting my life in your niche, in your niche
I woke up, I have found your voice back
And I knew how to love, tell me why, tell me why
You are my only love, you’re my existence
You have given me love, you have given me the chance
To understand today that I lived for you
To know that my life doesn’t exist without you
Since you’re going to steal the memories of my childhood
Let me keep them just the time, just the time
To see again my adolescence, running in the forests
And letting the wind singing for you, singing for you
You are my only love, you’re my existence
You gave me love, you gave me the chance
To understand today that I lived for you
To know that my life doesn’t exist without you
