La Source (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Source (English translation: "The Source") was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968, performed in French by Isabelle Aubret.
The song was performed tenth on the night (following Finland's Kristina Hautala with Kun Kello Käy and preceding Italy's Sergio Endrigo with Marianne). At the close of voting, it had received 20 points, placing 3rd in a field of 17.
The song deals - unusually for songs at the time, especially in the Contest - with the topic of rape, with Aubret describing such an event in some detail.
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1969 Contest by Frida Boccara with Un Jour, Un Enfant.
