Viens l'oublier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Viens l'oublier" (English translation: "Come To Forget Him") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, performed in French by Jean Vallée. It was the fifth song to be performed at the contest, following Yugoslavia's Eva Sršen with Pridi, Dala Ti Bom Cvet and preceding France's Guy Bonnet with Marie-Blanche. The song received a total of points, placing it eighth in a field of twelve.

The lyrics are from the perspective of a man who is counselling a woman to forget her past lover because he hurt her. It is unclear from the lyrics whether the singer wants to begin a relationship with the woman himself.

The next Belgian representatives at the 1971 Contest were Jacques Raymond and Lily Castel singing Goeiemorgen, Morgen.
