Un baiser volé (translation: A Stolen Kiss) was the Luxembourg entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 in Rome performed by Sarah Bray.
The song is a plea for hope in the modern world, with Bray singing that something as simple as the titular "stolen kiss" can brighten a day.
At some point during the live performance, it was interrupted by a guitar string breaking.
It was performed 7th on the night following Austria and preceding Sweden. At the close of voting, it finished in 14th place with 29 points.

Comment peut-on unir les horizons?
Libres sont ceux ignorant la peine
La peur rend fou, appelle la haine
Le mal grandit dans nos esprits
Et pourtant l’amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé
Peut nous apporter l’espérance
Saturé d’images, le monde se méfie
Les chemins du cœur ont des frontières
Une vie perdue, un arbre abattu
Joignent mes larmes aux rivières
Et pourtant l’amour est le sens de notre vie
Un baiser volé dans ce monde blessé
Peut nous apporter l’espérance
Par nos yeux éblouis se remplissent nos mémoires
Le bonheur libère nos émotions (Comme un baiser volé))
Comme un baiser volé (Comme un baiser volé)
Et pourtant l’amour est le sens de notre vie
Une histoire inventée, et l’espoir retrouvé
Créer un univers sans souffrance
How can we unite our horizons?
Free are those who don’t know any sorrow
Fear makes you mad, it calls for hate
Evil grows in our minds
And yet love is the meaning of our life
A stolen kiss in this injured world
Can bring us hope
Saturated with images, the world is distrustful
The paths to our hearts have barriers
A lost life, a tree cut down
Add my tears to the rivers
And yet love is the meaning of our life
A stolen kiss in this injured world
Can bring us hope
Our memories are filled by our dazzled eyes
Happiness frees our emotions (Like a stolen kiss)
Like a stolen kiss (Like a stolen kiss)
And yet love is the meaning of our life
An invented story, a hope that is found back
Creates a universe without suffering
