Children, Kinder, Enfants (English translation: "Children, Children, Children") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1985, performed in French (with some words in English and German by Margo, Franck Oliver, Diane Solomon, Ireen Sheer, Malcolm and Chris Roberts, a group sometimes referred to as "The Internationals".
The song - a Ralph Siegel-Bernd Meinunger collaboration - is an up-tempo number in which the singers describe the unique qualities of children and ask the children of the world to teach them how to enjoy life properly.
The song was performed eighteenth on the night (following Austria's Gary Lux with Kinder dieser Welt and preceding Greece's Takis Biniaris with Miazume). At the close of voting, it had received 37 points, placing 13th in a field of 19.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1986 Contest by Sherisse Laurence with L'Amour De Ma Vie.
