Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush

"Uno per tutte (English translation: "One For All") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1963, performed in Italian by Emilio Pericoli.

The song is a love ballad, in which Pericoli professes his undying love to Claudia. He then confesses the same to Nadia, Julia and Laura before declaring that "On my mouth I have...kisses for you/And I'm dedicating them to the first one who will say yes". He seems unaware of the potential consequences of being caught in this act.

The song was performed sixth on the night (following Norway's Anita Thallaug with Solvherv and preceding Finland's Laila Halme with Muistojeni laulu). At the close of voting, it had received 37 points, placing 3rd in a field of 16.

It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1964 Contest by Gigliola Cinquetti with "Non ho l'età".
