C'Est Le Dernier Qui A Parlé A Raison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C'Est Le Dernier Qui A Parlé A Raison (English translation: "It Is The Last One Who Spoke Who Is Right", often attested as Le Dernier Qui A Parlé...) was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, performed in French by Amina.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following Sweden's Carola with Fångad Av En Stormvind and preceding Turkey's İzel Çeliköz, Reyhan Karaca & Can Uğurlür with İki Dakika). At the close of voting, it had received 146 points, placing 2nd in a field of 22.
The song - the full title of which is one of the longest in Contest history - was written by Amina herself (of North African ancestry) and composed by Wasis Diop, resulting in an African feel to the music.
Lyrically, Amina sings about the truth of the saying referenced in the title. She also extends it to "It's the strongest one who spoke who is right".
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1992 Contest by Kali with Monté La Riviè.
