Als Het Weer Lente Is
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Als Het Weer Lente Is (English translation: "When It's Springtime Again") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965, performed in Dutch by Lize Marke.
The song was performed eighth on the night (following Norway's Kirsti Sparboe with Karusell and preceding Monaco's Marjorie Noël with Va Dire À L'Amour). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points, placing 15th (equal last) in a field of 18.
The song features Marke promising her lover that she will do a number of things for him in Spring, including buying him whatever he wants. She sings that this will happen "when it is your holiday", which implies that he is in the military or another line of work which requires long absences.
It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1966 Contest by Tonia performing Un Peu De Poivre, Un Peu De Sel.
