"Donne-moi une chance" (English translation: "Give Me a Chance") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, performed in French and Luxembourgish by Modern Times.

The song is an up-tempo, rock-influenced number, with the vocalists pleading with each other to "Give me a chance to tell you" about how they feel while on a romantic date.

The song was performed fifteenth on the night (following Ireland's Niamh Kavanagh with In Your Eyes and preceding Slovenia's 1x Band with Tih Deževen Dan). At the close of voting, it had received 11 points, placing 20th in a field of 25.

Following this Contest, Luxembourg opted to stop competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. Persistent rumours indicate that they may make a return in future, however.
