Adieu (English translation: "Goodbye") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, performed in Norwegian by Jahn Teigen and Anita Skorgan.
The song is a ballad, with the duo taking the roles of lovers ending a relationship. They pledge to remain on good terms, even though they are no longer together. Somewhat ironically, Skorgan and Teigen were married at the time they performed together, but divorced shortly thereafter.
The song was performed third on the night (following Luxembourg's Svetlana with Cours Après Le Temps and preceding the United Kingdom's Bardo with One Step Further). At the close of voting, it had received 40 points, placing 12th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded by Teigen performing solo with Do Re Mi as the Norwegian representative at the 1983 Contest .
