Primaballerina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Primaballerina was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, performed in German by Siw Malmkvist.

The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Norway's Kirsti Sparboe with Oj, Oj, Oj, Så Glad Jeg Skal Bli and preceding France's Frida Boccara with Un Jour, Un Enfant). At the close of voting, it had received 8 points, placing 9th in a field of 16.

The song is addressed to a porcelain figure on a clock, with Malmkvist wondering if she is lonely and pining for an absent lover.

It was succeeded as German representative at the 1970 Contest by Katja Ebstein with Wunder Gibt Es Immer Wieder.
