Eurovision Song Contest Wiki


Ton nom was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1962 in Luxembourg, performed by Fud Leclerc.

The song itself is a ballad, with Leclerc singing that he and his lover "don't need complicated romances".

The song was performed second on the night, following Finland and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded Nul Points placing 13th (equal last).

The song is significant in Contest history for being the (joint) first entry ever to fail to receive a point (although the scores of the 1956 Contest have never been made public, so it is possible that one of the entries there did likewise). There were four entries at this Contest to receive Nul Points - the Spanish entry, Austria and the Netherlands being the other three - however Belgium performed first out of all of them, and is thus better-remembered. Three of these entries followed each other directly (Belgium, Spain and Austria).

Ton nom qui joue avec mon nom
Pour lui donner le mien et effacer le tien
Ta joie qui chante avec ma joie
Pour qu’elles se fondent ensemble

Ton cœur qui joue avec mon cœur
À grands coups de bonheur, de bonheur éperdu
Et puis ta main qui garde la mienne
Et me guide dans l’ombre jusqu’au soleil

Nous n’avons pas besoin des amours compliquées
Des amants de cinéma
Nous n’avons pas besoin de nous faire du ciné
Le bonheur c’est lorsque je vois

Ton nom qui joue avec mon nom
Pour lui donner le mien et effacer le tien
Ta joie qui chante avec ma joie
Pour qu’elles se fondent ensemble

Ton cœur qui joue avec mon cœur
À grands coups de bonheur, de bonheur éperdu
Et puis ta main qui garde la mienne
Et me guide dans l’ombre jusqu’au soleil

Jusqu’au soleil

Your name that is playing with my name
Trying to get it and to erase yours
Your joy that is singing with my joy
So they would fuse together

Your heart that is playing with my heart
With a lot of luck, of passionate luck
And then your hand that is holding mine
And guiding me through the shadow to the sun

We don’t need complicated romances
Like those of lovers in movies
We don’t need to put on an act
Luck is as I see it

Your name that is playing with my name
Trying to get it and to erase yours
Your joy that sings with my joy
So that they would fuse together

Your heart that is playing with my heart
With a lot of luck, of passionate luck
And then your hand that is holding mine
And guiding me through the shadow to the sun

To the sun
