About Des Que le Printemps Revient

"Dès que le printemps revient" (English translation: "Once Spring Returns") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964, performed in French by French singer Hugues Aufray. The song is a ballad, with Aufray musing on how he feels when Spring begins. He sings that everyone finds love during the season, but frequently forgets it later on. As for his own situation, he sings that he hopes to find love, but also that occasionally he "want[s] to die" as a result of not finding it. Aufray also recorded his entry in German, as "Das alles geht vorbei", and Spanish, as "La primavera llegó". The song was performed first on the night, preceding the Netherlands' Anneke Grönloh with "Jij bent mijn leven". As Luxembourg had performed last at the 1963 contest, this represents the rare event of a country "succeeding itself" on the Eurovision stage. At the close of voting, it had received 14 points, placing 4th in a field of 16. It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1965 Contest by France Gall with "Poupée de cire, poupée de son".

Les filles sont jolies 
Dès que le printemps est là (dès que le printemps est là)
Mais les serments s'oublient 
Dès que le printemps s'en va (dès que le printemps s'en va)
Là-bas dans la prairie 
J'attends toujours, mais en vain 
Une fille en organdi 
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)

Je repense à ses yeux 
Dès que le printemps est là (dès que le printemps est là)
Je revois nos adieux 
Dès que le printemps s'en va (dès que le printemps s'en va)
Mais son image rôde 
Au détour de mon chemin 
Quand les soirées se font chaudes 
Dès que le printemps revient 

Non, le temps n'y fait rien 
Non, le temps n'y peut rien 

Je crois la retrouver 
Dès que le printemps est là (dès que le printemps est là)
Je cesse d'y rêver 
Dès que le printemps s'en va (dès que le printemps s'en va)
Après bien des hivers 
Pourtant mon cœur se souvient 
Comme si c'était hier 
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)

Non, le temps n'y fait rien 
Oh non, le temps n'y peut rien 

Parfois je veux mourir 
Dès que le printemps est là (dès que le printemps est là)
Je crois toujours guérir 
Dès que le printemps s'en va (dès que le printemps s'en va)
Mais je sens la brûlure 
D'une douleur qui m'étreint 
Comme une ancienne blessure 
Dès que le printemps revient
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)
Dès que le printemps revient (dès que le printemps revient)
