Si La Vie Est Cadeau (English translation: "If Life Was A Gift"), was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1983, performed in French by Corinne Hermès for Luxembourg.
The song is a dramatic ballad dealing with the wonder of life, likening it to a gift.
The song was performed twentieth on the night (following Belgium's Pas De Deux with Rendez-Vous). At the close of voting, it had received 142 points, placing 1st in a field of 20. The win brought Luxembourg equal with France on five Contest wins apiece, however both countries would later be eclipsed by Republic of Ireland, which would win seven.
The song was succeeded in 1984 as winner of the Contest by Herreys representing Sweden with Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1984 Contest by Sophie Carle with 100% D'Amour.
