Lyrics from Diggiloo Thrush


't Is Genoeg (English translation: "It's Enough") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965, performed in Dutch by Conny Vandenbos.

The song is sung from the perspective of a woman whose lover has been unfaithful in the past, but has attempted to make up for this infidelity with displays of love. She tells him that she wants to be happy, and explains that she is not happy in their relationship. The lyrics do not make the ultimate fate of the couple clear, as Vandenbos ends by explaining that her lover gives enough "moments of luck".

The song was performed first on the night (preceding the United Kingdom's Kathy Kirby with I Belong). At the close of voting, it had received 5 points, placing 11th in a field of 18.

It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1966 Contest by Milly Scott with Fernando En Filippo.
